Answer:
Yes, I do agree with the statement.

Industrialization
Explanation:
Industrialization brought a big change in the social structure, true. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. It widened the gap between the rich and the poor. Industrialization caused people to migrate from the rural areas to the cities. People suffered intense labor, low wages, discrimination of women and men but were still happy that they could make a living individually. The income was not dependent on the monsoon, as in agriculture.
