Explanation

Industrialization brought rapid urban growth and major changes in work and wealth. Many workers lived in poverty, faced unsafe or unhealthy working conditions, and crowded into cities with inadequate housing and sanitation. Wealth often accumulated among industrial owners while workers remained poor, contributing to growing inequality. The influence of unions and overly generous welfare benefits were not problems typically associated with the Industrial Age.
