Some of the benefits of the Industrial Revolution included enhanced transport, more manufactured goods, the establishment of a middle class, and better living conditions for certain parts of society. However, the poor often did not experience the benefits of this period, as urbanization led to squalid living conditions.

So, No because the poor did not experience the benefits of this period which led to squalid living conditions.

Please check before you put the answer just in case.
