Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
At the end of the nineteenth century, technologically advanced industrial sectors employed less than 20% of the overall workforce. New industries did not quickly displace traditional industries. Textiles was a vibrant industry, but a major amount of its output was created outside of factories, in residential units. Technological advancements did not take over the industrial landscape in a big way. New technology was costly, and merchants and industrialists were hesitant to use it. The devices frequently broke down, and repairs were expensive. They did not work as efficiently as their inventors and producers stated.
The correct statement would be that at the end of the nineteenth century, less than 20 per cent of the total workforce was employed in technologically advanced industrial sectors.
