Question

why did social inequality intensify in Europe during the industrial revolution? What effects did this change have?

Answer 1

Children were a part of the labor population. At their young age, they were already helping their family's earnings. It only showed that despite the great impact and change in the industrial revolution, the wages were not prioritized. Children would not work if their parent is receiving enough salary. In addition to this, working conditions were not yet properly organized. However, this opened to reforms for better management.

There are still some favorable changes like in marriages that allow people in different economic status to marry and some job opportunities were opened for women.

Overall the changes that took placed were not evenly distributed in different aspects.
