how did the industrial revolution affected the movement of population
As Britain experienced massive changes during the first Industrial Revolution, so the population changed too, both in number âgrowing-and location â urbanizing-as people gathered in factories.he birth rate in Britain rose in this period, mostly as people married early, although the figures for out of wedlock births rose too. In addition, the rates at which people were dying in Britain began to fall over the period of the industrial revolution, and this meant there were more people alive.
