How did the Industrial Revolution changed working and living condition?

Answer 1

One of the effects was to cause family relationships to adapt to a new system. It had been customary for a man's sons to learn the father's trade, starting to work as an apprentice at a young age. The father's trade was generally carried out in the home or adjacent sheds or lentos, and the family was accustomed to being together at least in the same vicinity most or all of the day. With the father going to work in a different location as a result of the industrial revolution family relations were weakened and discipline suffered as a result.. I learned this theory in a criminology class many years ago. I also read recently that a part of what brought the industrial revolution about was the fact that the plague had severely limited the number of available workers. It can be imagined that the change broadened perspectives, opened opportunities and fanned the flames of ambition, and made more goods available to consumers.
