Industrial Revolution Impacts British Society

Impact of the Industrial Revolution The Impact of coal was the most severe environmental concern that grew out of the Industrial Revolution Coal was necessary to fuel steam engines that powered factories, trains, and ships However The smoke from the fires heavily polluted the air

Government and Business During the Industrial Revolution, government was partly controlled by landowners and business owners Main group to vote and run in elections

Laissez-Faire Policy A French phrase meaning “leave it alone” Government economic policy promoted a business market that was free as possible from government interference

Factory Working Conditions Factory owners wanted to make profits rather than treat employees with respect Low wages Unsafe machines in need of repair No compensation for accidents Poor air quality Deafening noise Long shifts 12 to 16 hours Disciplined protesting workers

Child Labour in the Industrial Revolution Children put to work and exploited Useful because their small size and they were cheap labour Accounted for 15% of the labour force in Britain more than 1 million 350 000 age 7-10 Almost Slaves Beaten Low wages Exposed to pollution and danger

Child Labour in the Industrial Revolution Children were hired from workhouses and employed in factories Small hands could reach into machines and pick out lose objects Chimney cleaners hired small boys as they could fit inside the chimneys of large homes and businesses to clean out soot

Lower Class Living Conditions Servants The Poor Worked in homes of the upper and middle classes Average upper class homes could have 50 or more servants while middle class had 1 Low wages but food and shelter included Lived in slums crowded houses in small, unsanitary streets that had no sewers Hardest on the sick, disabled and elderly as they could not work Included many orphaned and/or abandoned children
