Detailed explanation-1: -Rising population greatly helped the Industrial Revolution. It created more demand for food and other goods (like cloth). The rising population also helped to fill the many new jobs that were created. Farmers that lost their land to enclosed farms often became factory workers, as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -Poor workers were often housed in cramped, grossly inadequate quarters. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The larger the farms and the better the production the fewer farmers were needed. Farmers pushed out of their jobs by enclosure either became tenant farmers or they moved to cities. Better nutrition boosted England ‘s population, creating the first necessary component for the Industrial Revolution: labor.
