Problem: Machines are expensive.

Solution: Let entrepreneurs invest in 

                    these machines.

Life in an industrial city

Industrialisation caused urbanisation 🏭 and factory jobs. 

                     Effect:

Workers lived in overcrowded 🏚️, dirty conditions with no clean water... 🚱

Urbanisation means more and more people move from the countryside 🏞️ to the city 🏙️ to live and work.

Cities grow bigger 🏗️, with more houses, roads, and buildings.

Dirty conditions lead to deadly diseases ☠️ like Cholera and Typhus 🦠.

Families in 

the factories

💰 Wages were very low, so whole families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 had to work. 

Children missed school and did dangerous jobs 🧹⛏️ under machines or in chimneys. 🏭

Wages (= lonen) are the money paid for work.💰
