The Progressives were primarily concerned with social issues that affected the well-being of individuals and communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The following social problems led them to support reform measures:
- **Unsafe working conditions**
- **Child labor**
- **Overcrowded housing**
- **Poor education**
- **Alcohol abuse**
While **low prices for crops** was a concern for farmers, it typically fell more under the purview of economic reform rather than the broader social issues that Progressives focused on.
