Question

The Industrial Revolution was
accompanied by a huge growth in
population and income

Accepted Answer

Many
people moved from the countryside,
where they had worked on their
personal or local farms, into the cities
(urbanisation). Urban spaces became
incredibly cramped, leading to poor
hygiene and epidemics like cholera.
Many people, particularly the lower
classes, started working in factories. Many had lost their jobs in agriculture because they were
replaced by machines and were forced to move to the cities to find work.
