Section 2 Questions: Answer these in complete sentences.
1. Why did factory owners divide work into several simple tasks?
2. Define industrialization.
3. What was the key difference between cottage industries and the industrial system?
4. In the graphic organizer above, what types of jobs would the lower working class (proletariat) would do?
5. Why did factory owners prefer hiring women and children over men?

Answer

  1. Factory owners divided work into simple tasks to increase efficiency and production while allowing them to hire less-skilled, lower-paid workers.

  2. Industrialization is the development of an economy based on machine-powered manufacturing and factory production rather than primarily agriculture and handmade goods.

  3. Cottage industries involved people making goods in their homes, usually by hand, while the industrial system concentrated workers and machinery in factories for large-scale production.

  4. The lower working class, or proletariat, typically worked as factory laborers, miners, and other manual wage workers. The referenced graphic is not readable enough in this image to confirm its specific examples.

  5. Factory owners preferred hiring women and children because they could pay them less than men, reducing labor costs and increasing profits.
