Detailed explanation-1: -What is the relationship between education and industrialization? Industrialization may increase education by increasing parents’ incomes, public sector revenues, returns to skill, and (by promoting urbanization) children’s access to schools.
Detailed explanation-2: -The working conditions in factories were often harsh. Hours were long, typically ten to twelve hours a day. Working conditions were frequently unsafe and led to deadly accidents. Tasks tended to be divided for efficiency’s sake which led to repetitive and monotonous work for employees.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most workers labored for 6 days a week, usually 10-14 hours a day. This clearly took workers away from their homes for extended periods of time. Moreover, early factories employed men, women, and children, which further divided and took people away from their families.
