Effects of Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution changed the way good were produced, they are now produced in factories. Interchangeable parts and mass production will lower the costs of goods and increase demand for goods. A new class, the working class, is going to grow rapidly and urbanize rapidly. Child labor, poor working conditions, hours, and wages are all negative effects of the revolution. The middle class (bourgeoisie) will grow in size and influence due to the revolution. Middle Class Industrialists will benefit the most.
