The 18th century brought about many changes to European countries. Advancements in science, technology and engineering brought about an improvement in living conditions to the widespread area. The improved living conditions induced an increase of population by the millions. From 1750-1800, the English population grew from 6 to 9 million and the French population grew from 19 to an enormous increase of 26 million. Stricter sanitation came about decreasing the amount of disease drastically. Food became cheaper because of increased purchases. Items that once considered luxuries became necessities. Sugar, chocolate, coffee, tea, and furs changed into household items instead of extravagances only the very wealthy could afford. Even the poor were able to afford new vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, and cotton and linen clothing. The increase in population also

What was the effect of the industrial revolution on factory workers? The industrial revolution and the great economic success that accompanied it had a wide variety of victims. As we have previously discussed the American public, through the efforts of trusts, became a victim of the elimination of competition. The consumer was not the only victim however. The American worker was also victimized. As America industrialized two things happened: (A) There was a shift from rural (country) regions to urban regions. This population shift is known as urbanization . The reasons for urbanization should be obvious...that was where the work was! Urban centers were traditionally founded near waterways, this provided them with easy sources of labor (immigrants) and shipping. (B) Factories began to replace small "cottage" industries. As the population grew so did wants and needs. Manufacturers realized that bulk production was cheaper, more efficient and provided the quantity of items needed. As a result more and more factories sprang up. Factory owners, especially those involved in the steel industry and in the coal mine industry, often would build

WWW Cottontimes WELCOME to Lancashire, the place where the Industrial Revolution began two and a half centuries ago. Some people once regarded this northern English region as a hell on earth, a pestilential zone where innocence perished in the name of progress and the soulless world of organised labour was born. To others, it was where our then undreamt-of modern lifestyle had its beginnings. For those who don't know, Lancashire is an administrative district of England. It lies 200 miles or so north of London, bordered on the west by the Irish Sea and on the east by the high moorlands of the Pennine chain. To the north lie the mountains and lakes of Cumbria, and to the south is the fertile Cheshire plain. Before the Industrial Revolution began it was a backwater. Few outsiders had any reason or inclination to visit the place because the roads were impassable and there was nothing of any significance to see, anyway. Lancashire's lowland plain was mainly arable farmland, while the moors in the east supported mixed farming communities who eked out their existence in the harsh winters by weaving sheep's wool. But when cotton began to oust wool as Britain's prime textile product from the mid eighteenth century, Lancashire had all the attributes needed to turn itself into the workshop of the world: a moist climate - useful to help prevent delicate cotton threads from snapping - an experienced, honest work-force and, not least, an array of talented and imaginative men, whose inventive genius produced the machines that made the Industrial Revolution roll.

14. Industrial Revolution During the 1800s the industrial revolution spread throughout Britain. Also thousands of new workers were needed to work machines in mills and foundries http://www.nettlesworth.durham.sch.uk/time/victorian/vindust.html

During the 1800s the Industrial Revolution spread throughout Britain. The use of steam-powered machines, led to a massive increase in the number of factories (particularly in textile factories or mills). From Country to Town As the number of factories grew people from the countryside began to move into the towns looking for better paid work. The wages of a farm worker were very low and there were less jobs working on farms because of the invention and use of new machines such as threshers. Also thousands of new workers were needed to work machines in mills and foundries and the factory owners built houses for them.Cities filled to overflowing and London was particularly bad. At the start of the 19th Century about 1/5 of Britain’s population lived there, but by 1851 half the population of the country had set up home in London. London, like most cities, was not prepared for this great increase in people. People crowded into already crowded houses. Rooms were rented to whole families or perhaps several families. If there was no rooms to rent, people stayed in lodging houses. Housing Pollution Chimneys, bridges and factory smoke blocked out most of the light in the towns. A layer of dirty smoke often covered the streets like a blanket. This came from the factories that used steam to power their machines. The steam was made by burning coal to heat water. Burning coal produces a lot of dirty, black smoke.

The government has made laws saying that employers have to look after the workforce and provide safety equipment and other things for them. At the start of the Industrial Revolution none of these laws existed and so working in a factory could prove to be very dangerous indeed. This section looks at some of the conditions faced by workers and offers a brief explanation of what was done to improve these conditions. Not all factories were as bad as the scenario highlighted above. Robert owen and Titus salt for example were both regarded as good employers in this respect. They were amongst a group of people who were known as reformers. These people wanted changes to the way that factories were run. They faced opposition from other mill owners who knew that reforms would cost them money and give the workers more rights. (They wanted to make as much profit as possible remember, that is the purpose of manufacturing in a capitalist country).

Children during the Industrial Revolution. At the start of the industrial Revolution there was no legislation about working conditions in mills, factories or othe industrial plants. They simply had not been needed before. As factories spread rapidly the owners of mills, mines and other forms of industry needed large numbers of workers and they didn't want to have to pay them a high wage. Children were the ideal employees therefore! They were cheap, weren't big nough or educated enoguh to argue or complain and were small enough to fit between tight fitting machinery that adults couldn't get between. Children soon ended up working in all types of industry.

Classroom Lesson Series The Plight of Women's Work in the Early Industrial Revolution in England and Wales womeninworldhistory.com The Industrial Revolution in part was fueled by the economic necessity of many women, single and married, to find waged work outside their home. Women mostly found jobs in domestic service, textile factories, and piece work shops. They also worked in the coal mines. For some, the Industrial Revolution provided independent wages, mobility and a better standard of living. For the majority, however, factory work in the early years of the 19th century resulted in a life of hardship. The following selections are testimonies from England and Wales collected by Parliamentary commissions who began to investigate the industrial employment of women and children in the early 1840s. Inspectors visited mills, mines and shops taking evidence from workers to see ways in which the Industrial Revolution affected women and families. The sources, along with illustrations and a workforce chart, reveal the following points: Working conditions were often unsanitary and the work dangerous.

Before the Industrial Revolution, Halstead was an agricultural community with a cottage industry producing woolen cloth. In Halstead, as elsewhere in England, unemployment among depressed farming households and former wool workers forced people to find work outside the home. Because their labor was cheap, women more than men were recruited into the textile factories that sprang up all over Britain in the 19th century. This is a chart of the Courtauld workforce in 1860. The wages are in British schillings.
