In 1750, most of the English population lived in rural areas, primarily engaged in agriculture. By 1850, there was a significant shift as many people moved to urban centers due to the Industrial Revolution, which created a demand for factory workers. This migration was driven by the promise of better job opportunities, improved living standards, and advancements in transportation, which facilitated movement to cities. The rapid industrialization led to the growth of cities, transforming the demographic landscape of England.
