Keeping this in consideration, what are the differences between the domestic system and the factory system?
Domestic system is a manufacturing method where an entrepreneur provides various homes with raw material, where they are processed by the families into finished goods. Whereas, a manufacturing system, where workers, materials, and machinery are assembled for manufacturing goods, is called a factory system.
Also Know, what were the disadvantages of the domestic system?
In conclusion, the factory system had more advantages compared to the domestic system. Work was faster, cheaper, more efficient and got paid more than farm workers. But equal amounts of disadvantages came along such as severe injuries, strict discipline, long tiring shifts and lesser freedom.
The industrial and economic developments of the Industrial Revolution brought significant social changes. Industrialization resulted in an increase in population and the phenomenon of urbanization, as a growing number of people moved to urban centres in search of employment.
