    The Industrial Revolution led to many problems, especially for the working class. Factories polluted the air and water, leaving people in poor health. Many families could not afford decent housing and lived in cramped, unsanitary conditions. Children often worked in dangerous factory conditions instead of attending school, resulting in many injuries. While the Industrial Revolution modernized society, it came at the cost of subjecting workers, especially children, to oppressive work and living conditions that negatively impacted their well-being.
