SOCIAL FEATURES
ASSOCIATED WITH
INDUSTRIALISATION
➢ Urbanisation, The loss of face-to-face relationships that
were found in rural areas where people worked on their
own farms or for a landlord they knew, and their
substitution by anonymous professional relationships in
modern factories and workplaces. Industrialisation
involves a detailed division of labour.
➢ People often do not see the end result of their work
because they are producing only one small part of a
product.
➢ The work is repetitive and exhausting. But even this is
better than having no work at all, i.e., being
unemployed. Marx called this situation alienation, when
people do not enjoy work, and see it as something they
have to do only in order to survive, and even that
survival depends on whether the technology has room
for any human labour.
➢ Often social inequality and income inequality overlap, for
example, in the domination of upper caste men in well-
paying professions like medicine, law or journalism.
Women often get paid less than men for similar work.
