At the same time, the growth of mechanization, and specialization due to industrialization, drew people from the middle classes to seek education, so that at this time this sector of society was prepared to face the changes and to create even more factories. Finally, it is also a characteristic of this time that women began to become involved with factory work as agriculture was not giving enough, costs were rising, and more hands were needed to produce the necessary income to ensure survival for families.
