What is industrialization

1 answer

Industrialization is the process of transforming an economy from one based primarily on agriculture and handcrafts to one focused on manufacturing and the use of technology to produce goods on a larger scale. This typically involves the growth of factories, mechanized production, mass production techniques, and the development of infrastructure to support these activities. Industrialization is often associated with urbanization, as people move from rural areas to cities in search of employment in the growing industrial sector.
