What social crisis was created by population growth and migration to cities in the 1830s?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Shortage of jobs and urban poverty increased
The governing concept is the social crisis accompanying early industrialisation and the revolutionary unrest of the 1830s. Population growth increased the number of people seeking work, while migration crowded cities whose jobs, housing and food supplies were limited. Many workers faced unemployment, low wages and poverty. Option A is correct. The other options describe outcomes opposite to the documented crisis and therefore cannot explain the social tensions of the period.
