Detailed Solution

A result of industrialisation on the condition of workers in Europe was that most labourers lived in slums. Industrialisation brought about significant changes in the working conditions of Europeans. Most industries had seasonal labour demand, and the off-seasons were difficult to sustain. The labourers' recruitment was also unfair and included a monopoly of relations and friendships. Most of them lost their jobs due to a lack of technical knowledge. In addition, workers were highly dissatisfied with the low wages. Therefore, the workers had horrendous living conditions as most of them were migrant workers and were not provided housing by the owners. Most workers dwelled in slums with poor hygiene and a shortage of necessities.
