Answer:

Factories, Mines, and Child Labor

The Industrial Revolution created a great deal of change in society.

One major change was the shift from work being done at home by

hand in cottage industries to work being done in factories. There

were harsh and unsafe working conditions in these early factories.

The machines posed a significant threat to workers’ lives. Even more

deadly was work performed in coal mines. Owners of mines and

factories had considerable control over the lives of laborers who

worked long hours for low pay. An average worker would work 14

hours a day, six days a week. Fearful of losing their jobs, workers

would typically not complain about the horrible conditions and low

pay. Owners realized that they could pay women and children less

than men. Child labor increased because it kept the costs of

production low and the profits high. As a result, the working class

lived in poverty, while the bosses who made up the middle class

grew wealthy.

Which of the following benefits African consumers but not African farmers? (4 points)
kenny6666 [7]

The answer is:

The following options benefit African consumers but not African farmers.  

I. Subsidies to keep crop prices low  

IV. Availability of imported grains  

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>If you were to subsidize to keep prices low, consumers would benefit exclusively because the would pay a fixed rate for their farm products. On the other hand farmers would be affected because we don't know many factors that would influence this decission. Some of these factors may be.</em>

<em>- Will there be a price fixed for certain products</em>

<em>- Will the grains be cash crops</em>

<em>- Will farmers be allowed to rotate crops</em>

<em>Without knowing these factors one can only assume that when you susidize a crop the conditions imposed on the farmers may or may not be ideal.</em>

<em>When it comes to the availability of imported grains, some of these grains may be even cheaper than local grains. This may have a negative effect on local farmers who cannot lower their prices at a loss. Consumers would definitely benefit by paying lower prices from imported crops.</em>
