Modern industrialisation could not marginalise the traditional industries in England. Justify |

Answer» It was because in the Victorian Britain there was no shortage of human labour. Poor peasants moved into the cities in search\xa0of jobs. So the industrialist had no problem in hiring them at low cost nor were they interested in introducing machines\xa0which required large capital investments.2. In many industries the demand for labour was seasonal . For example Gas works & breweries were busy during the cold\xa0months, also the printing & book binders were busy at this time due to Christmas, ships were also repaired during this time.--in all such industries where production fluctuated(ups and downs) with the season, industrialist usually preferred hand\xa0labour.3. Range of products could be produced only with hand labour.--machines were oriented to produce uniforms, standardized goods for mass market but the demand in European markets\xa0was for goods with intricate (complicated) design and specific shapes.4. The upper class-the aristocracies and bourgeoisie- preferred things produced by hands.--handmade products came to symbolize refinement and class.--they were better finished & carefully designed and were mainly for export.5. In the countries with shortage of labour , industrialist were keen on using mechanical power so that the need for human\xa0labour can be minimized 2 nd pace of industrulization |
