a big cause for the start of the industrial revolution, was the need for more production (a result of the agricultural revolution). the demand for materials rose significantly, and people developed machinery to preform tasks at a faster, more efficient pace.
a big effect was that people had more access to jobs, and people with low social class and low experience could now work (including children and women). this bettered the lives of common people, and it allowed more people to be employed. another effect was evidently an increase in manufactured goods, which helped the economy.
a big problem was the unfair treatment of workers in factories. they were given little breaks in between long work hours, and were often treated poorly regarding their safety, and well being. the factories often had poor sanitation and safety protocols, which led to disease and therefore death or a hard life.
a benefit was that slavery was no longer as necessary as it had been before the revolution. however, in some areas, people got greedy with money and decided to keep the slaves in order to make even more money. a benefit was also that people with low education could now work, and the economy benefitted greatly in many areas.
i hope that helped :)
