The societal impact of the Industrial Revolution was profound, reshaping economies and communities. It transitioned societies from agrarian economies to industrialized environments, leading to urbanization as people migrated to cities for work in factories. This shift resulted in changes in labor practices, the rise of the working class, and significant advances in technology. However, it also brought challenges such as poor working conditions, environmental degradation, and social inequities, laying the groundwork for future labor movements and reforms.
