Question

What was the impact of industrialisation and urbanisation onthe family in britain in the 19th century?Explain?

Answer 1

In the seventeenth century, the family was the centre of production. The situation however, changed with the beginning of industrialization as the productive work now shifted to the industries. It was thus no longer essential for the working mass to establish ties with relatives or his community. Rather moving for jobs and spending more time in the workplace helped them to earn better. Nepotism gave way to hiring and promotion on merit alone. Industry had become the monopoly of men. Thus, the middle class women became restricted to the household solely. These factors indeed caused the ties between the family members to get loosened.
(i) Women gradually lost their industrial jobs and were forced to work within households,
(ii) A large number of women used their homes to increase family income by taking in lodgers.
(iii)Through the activities of tailoring, washing or matchbox making, they could increase their income. Large number of children were pushed into low paid work during this period.
