Answer:

Industrialization started with the invention of "Spinning Jenny" that was an automated multi spindle frame that started the industrialization of textile manufacturing industry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Industrialization allowed for the movement of rural population to urban spaces in search of work. For the first time in the history of mankind, man was producing more than needed which lead to profit making.

Industrialists that earned profit further lead to the formation of private property. The idea of private property lead to the exploitation of workers which further lead to introduction of labour reform laws for the welfare of workers.

Example- The Tulle massacre in France that was the round up and execution of french workers sent shockwaves around Europe.

1. Introduction of Labour code

To make sure such a situation does not take place in Britan labour code was introduced.

2. Feminization of workforce

Women in the working class though payed less wages than men were part of the workforce. Protest for equal pay paved way for the first wave of feminism.
