Factory Production ) Concentrates production in one place [materials, labor]. ) Located near sources of power [rather than labor or markets]. ) Requires a lot of capital investment [factory, machines, etc.] more than skilled labor.
28
Problems of Industrialization Uncontrolled growth-no sanitary plans, building codes, shortage of housing, overcrowding, pollution, disease, poor working conditionsUncontrolled growth-no sanitary plans, building codes, shortage of housing, overcrowding, pollution, disease, poor working conditions Average work-6 days per week, 14 hours per day, poor pay, monotonous work, dangerous- especially coal minesAverage work-6 days per week, 14 hours per day, poor pay, monotonous work, dangerous- especially coal mines
