How did the conditions for workers change as the factory system developed?

As the factory system developed, conditions for workers often worsened due to long hours, low wages, and unsafe working environments. Laborers, including women and children, faced grueling schedules with little regard for their health or well-being. The shift from skilled artisanal work to mass production also diminished job security and craftsmanship. However, this period eventually led to labor movements advocating for improved conditions and rights, paving the way for reforms.
