I do not know the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

The population of London expanded from the middle of the eighteenth century because people from rural areas migrated to London in search of employment in the factories which were being set up in London.

As offices increased in the metropolis people came to London seek jobs in offices. An increase in population called for an increase in labour in all sectors. Soon the city was full of clerks and shopkeepers, of small masters and skilled and semi- skilled artisans, of soldiers and servants, of casual labourers, street sellers, and beggars.
