Detailed explanation-1: -With industrialization, improvements in medical knowledge and public health, together with a more regular food supply, bring about a drastic reduction in the death rate but no corresponding decline in the birth rate. The result is a population explosion, as experienced in 19th-century Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -The basic cause was a decrease in morality, as fewer deaths occurred in Europe. Birth rate increased, as well as women producing stronger babies. During this time, the bubonic plague disappeared.
Detailed explanation-3: -Population Growth By the time of the Industrial Revolution, there were more people than ever before. A main reason for this was 18th century agricultural improvements, which all but ended the periodic famines that had kept down European populations. From 1750 to 1850, the population of England alone nearly tripled.
Detailed explanation-4: -This revolution started because of developments in technology, a shift towards industrialization, and the growth of cities. In the early 18th century, British inventor Jethro Tull perfected the seed drill, which allowed farmers to efficiently sew seeds in rows rather than scattering seeds by hand.
