Detailed explanation-1: -After industrialization, many could no longer work at their own pace or rely on opportunities such as weaving for their income. Children were expected to go to work in factories along with their parents and lost the time they formerly had to spend with their families.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Industrial Revolution brought rapid urbanization or the movement of people to cities. Changes in farming, soaring population growth, and an ever-increasing demand for workers led masses of people to migrate from farms to cities. Almost overnight, small towns around coal or iron mines mushroomed into cities.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is estimated that fifty percent of children who lived during the Industrial Revolution were forced to work instead of getting an education. They often had lifelong consequences, including serious health and mental health issues which prevented them from living their lives to the fullest as adults.
Detailed explanation-4: -Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.
