The industrial revolution allowed Great Britain to venture into mass production. Many machines were created to help lessen the load of many workers. However, not everybody was able to benefit the said revolution. Mostly, factory owners and the government. When this occurred, people suffered from a scarcity of food. Male farmers were enchanted to work in factories because of the amount of money that they will be receiving. However, these people were not able to see the impact. Children and women were the force to work manual labor to provide the basic needs of the family.  They work on farm lands that were left by men, and when their children grew, they followed their fathers to urban centers to work in factories.
