The socioeconomic impact of industrialization in Europe was profound, transforming economies and societies. Industrialization led to urbanization, as people moved to cities for work in factories, fundamentally altering living conditions and social structures. On one hand, it facilitated significant technological advancements and increased production capacity, leading to economic growth. However, it also resulted in poor working conditions and exploitation of labor, particularly in cities. Social classes became more defined, giving rise to the proletariat and bourgeoisie. Additionally, industrialization contributed to social movements advocating for labor rights and reforms, as well as widening gaps between the wealthy and the poor.
