The industrial revolution a shift from traditional labor-intensive agricultural based economy to an economy based on manufacture by machines, specialized labor, and industry; it began in Great Britain around 1750. The Industrial Revolution dramatically impacted the way that people lived and worked, which is why it is called revolutionary. More specifically, this time period affected people economically and socially. The three major impacts of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain involved the harmful living conditions that resulted from population growth, strenuous working conditions, and technological changes which improved industries during the Industrial Revolution.

The first major impact of the Industrial Revolution was the massive population growth. The Great Hunger in Ireland caused the population to double in 60 years. Emigration caused the rural population to move to cities, which caused rapid urbanization. Living conditions also changed. With this city growth, population and people searching for jobs expanded. As a result, living conditions were overcrowded, lacked sanitation, open sewers would drain into the streets, dirty water was present, soot and smoke from the factories covered the cities, and crime was prevalent. Even after these problems, population still grew. More marriages and babies born caused the population to continues to increase .The people wanted to move to the bigger cites where more food and job opportunity were there( Wilde,(n.d.).

The working class also suffered, both from harmful living and working condition. Artisans worked to distinguish themselves from factory workers. Poor working conditions involved long hours, no minimum wage, no job security, cramped spaces, child labor, and no government intervention. Trade Unions also formed, which fought for workers of a particular trade such as blacksmiths. Government action was taken, and laws were passed to prevent certain labor abuses. This included reduced hours for women and children. Labor changed because workers were paid for hours, not the product they produced. This presented a problem because workers worked very hard, but could be replaced easy and had no job security.

There also are many industries that experienced several technological changes in this period of time including the cotton industry, the iron industry, and transportation. Historians emphasize the “great inventions and the cataclysmic nature of the [technological] changes” (Spielvogel, (2015). In regards to the improvement of the cotton industry, the spinning jenny quickened the production of yarn, and the power loom was able to more efficiently manufacture textiles. The steam engine sped up the production of cotton and led to an increase in the need for coal. As far as the iron industry is concerned, wrought iron was a high quality iron produced by using new methods of smelting iron. More efficient forms of transportation became required in Great Britain because new industries needed to ship goods and raw materials. Changes in transportation, including new roads built, new canals, and railroad construction, were able to fix this lack of efficiency. As a result of these technological changes, new machinery was able to reduce the use of child and female labor in factories (Cameron,1985).

To conclude, The Industrial Revolution changed the way that people lived and worked in Great Britain. Lives were changed socially and economically. Rapid population growth, working conditions, and technology changed drastically and revolutionized society as a result of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain.
