The impact of the Black Death on the social structure of Europe in the 14th century was profound. The pandemic, which decimated a significant portion of the population, fundamentally altered labor dynamics and economic structures. With fewer workers available, remaining laborers were able to demand higher wages and better working conditions, leading to the decline of the feudal system. Additionally, the resulting shift in power contributed to rising social mobility and changes in class structures, as the demand for skilled workers increased, fostering the beginnings of a more modern economic system.
