Reasons and impact for the population boom
in 1750 there was no steam engines life was rough people didn't have any knowledge of anything and the rich people took advantage of that for example there was something called a domestic system where the rich give the poor wool and the working class make it into cloth and then give it to the merchants and then they would sell these cloths expensively and the poor workers would get less money while merchants get a lot of money,and the poor people barely could get simple home and less food and they can’t afford medicines when they are sick,In this horrible period everyone would work for his house expenses and for his sake,In this period thereThe population grew 260 per cent in was a lack of sanitation and there was no law for building houses and spoor people and the years between 1750 and 1900. had to live in sewers and there was many diseases spread and then the steam engines came and the rich middle and poor class was very bad because the poor people were basically poor workers that were skilled and the middle class was people with shops and businesses and the rich class was the class of people who owned factories and that made the most profit.
Life in Britain was quality for the rich people as the poor people were doing all the work for them.
Life in Britain in 1750 was a process of rich people giving the poor people wool for them to make into cloth and then the rich would sell it for expensive prices and pay the poor people not even 10% of the profit they made which was unfair for the poor people.
The poor people were not paid fairly so they were barely able to afford food and were not able to afford medicines so they were getting sick frequently.
People didn’t have any knowledge and the rich people took advantage of the poor people not having any knowledge so they used that as an escape to pay them low paychecks and they made the children do their work in horrible working conditions.
People had to live in sewers, there were many diseases spread and the poor class was suffering because the rich people had the best working conditions and the poor people had bad working conditions
The population grew 260 per cent in a lack of sanitation and there was no law for building houses and poor people in the years between 1750 and 1900.
Steam Engine : Invented by James Watt, Provided consistent power and was used to run massive machines. Factories could be built anywhere because of them. It was powered by coal and was used for powering trains. It wasted 80-90% of the energy from the coal.
Flying Shuttle : Invented by John Kay in 1733, Used for automatic weaving. Used for automatic weaving. This was classified as a threat to some workers’ jobs.
People were forced to share rooms with many other people (about 15 to 25 people) only to live and sleep. Some of the issues that have risen as a result of all of this and how close and compacted they were include: an easier spread of viruses and illness, a lack of space to properly have a “private” place to do whatever they need to do, a lack of income (money earned from how much and how long they actually work for), and being exploited by the wealthy because they are the ones working their tails off to make the most money. That being said, lower-class workers (the poor who worked in factories) were paid 10 times less than the actual cost of the product they were producing, for example: When the actual product costs approximately 100+ euros and sells in no time, the workers would probably get around 1 euro for hour they work (making it 17 euros a day because they labor for 17 hours or more).
Upper class: They were the wealthiest, they owned mansions and factories. Lower class worked for them and they did not work with their hands.
Middle class: Owned shops, they were the 2nd wealthiest people and had good quality homes. They often hire people from the lower class.
Lower class: poorest of all they had cramped up houses and they lived in slums. They were abused by the upper class and sometimes the middle class. Sometimes they were homeless and the domestic system was used to abuse their use and give them low paychecks. Also, the people who worked in factories were exposed to greenhouse gases which would make them ill. Also, child labour was used by the upper class
Public health during the IR (industrial revolution) had quite a lot of different types of infectious diseases that contaminated a lot of people such as cholera, smallpox, typhoid and tuberculosis.
Cholera was passed through a germ that lived in contaminated water. Its symptoms were really bad diarrhoea. There was a 9 out of 10 chance of getting dehydrated and dying.
Typhoid is an infectious bacterial fever with an eruption of red spots mostly on the chest.
Tuberculosis was passed through germs between people in the moisture sprayed when coughing or sneezing
It attacked the lungs. Its symptoms were coughing up blood, chest pain and shortness of breath.
Smallpox is a contagious disease with fever that usually leaves permanent scars.
Transport affects health in many ways. Benefits include access to education, employment, goods, services and leisure, and opportunities for incorporating physical activity into daily living.
There are major inequalities: benefits generally accrue to wealthier people and harms the more deprived, nationally and globally.
The diseases were passed on easily it affected people's education and work there was a high chance of death
The transportation was really bad and weak
Many families lived in one house only which was small and not really clean and this increases the chance of diseases spreading.
The situations in the slums, with overcrowding, unsanitary conditions and difficult housing caused these infections to grow
Transportation grew, things like trains were invented and motorcycles too.
Cottage industry : is a small-scale industry that is mostly done in houses. Each family member has a job to fulfill and when the products are made it will be sold and will only get a small amount of money.
Textile : is a flexible material that is made through yarns or threads, they are produced from spinning raw fiber. They use a machine that spins to make textiles.
Factories : is a place where many people work in a big place for many companies to produce the goods they need.
Urbanization : is basically when nature is being polluted because of factories and our wants. When a place is developing while destroying nature in the process.
Population boom : is when many more people are born in all of a sudden and the population of the world increases rapidly
Entrepreneur : Is a person who takes risks in their business or businesses to get more profit.
James What : He was mainly known for improving the steam machine in the industrial revolution.
Eli Whitney : He is known for inventing the cotton gin, he is an american inventor who helped the united states.
Laissez-faire : Laissez-faire is an economic system in which transactions between private groups of people are free from or almost free from any form of economic interventionism such as regulation and subsidies.
England had a TON of natural resources, which helped it to be the first country to industrialize. There are many reasons which helped England industrialize like, England having a lot of iron ore, the effects of the Agricultural Revolution, large supplies of coal, geography of the country, a positive political climate, and a vast colonial empire.
Cotton gin : It made processing cotton become easier Resulting in greater availability of cotton Clothes were cheaper It reduced the labour of removing seeds.
Steam engine : It helped to power the IR. It allowed factories to be located anywhere.
Electrical light bulb : It allowed people to work at night, as there was now a source of light to use at night. It allowed people to safely travel at night. Without the light bulb, there would be no night life. It also took away the risk from building fires from gas lighting.
Steamship : It allowed people to trade easier. It allowed travelling to become way easier It then allowed people and goods to travel faster, which made it very important.
Poor Class : The poor class people wouldn't get enough money even though they worked for long hours. They were poor and they usually worked for factories. They would get hurt or sick because of how much they work. The kids were forced to work at a young age with no education or money. Many kids would get sick because of how unsanitary and cold it was in mines.
Middle Class : they usually had some shops and business, they had quite some wealth but weren't super rich. occupations like: merchants, accountants and shopkeepers, they were able to educate their children with the money they made, the middle class was growing as cities got larger, They had money to buy fine clothing and furniture at the time.
Rich Class : the rich class people were getting richer, they were the most powerful since their wealth was growing, they were owners of the factories and companies, The people were buying more from these companies, so their wealth kept growing, They had luxurious things such as big mansions, fine art and created libraries and museums. They would hire many workers for their factories
factories made more things available for cheaper, so more families could be accommodated
Many families went to cities to work for the factories and as they needed more workers the families gave birth to more children.
the agriculture business was doing well so more food was found therefore it could give more food to more families
