How did the industrial changes affect the life of weavers and other artisans?

Industrialization brought a huge change in society. It affected the life of weavers and artisan in the following ways:

• Cottage industries suffered and thus the rural economy saw a downfall.

• Machines and machine-made products replaced their hand-made produce.

• The lands were taken over to build factories and thus the weavers and artisans were rendered homeless.

• Quality raw materials were scarce for production.

• Machine-made products were cheaper and they flourished in the market. So, the handmade products lost their market.
