What was the main problem of workers in European cities during the 1830s?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Unemployment and low wages
Industrialising European cities attracted people who were searching for work, but employment did not grow fast enough for the expanding labour force. The resulting competition made jobs insecure and kept wages low. Workers therefore faced unemployment, poverty and difficult living conditions, making option A correct. Too many holidays, free land and tax-free trade were not the central problems of urban workers; in fact, workers generally lacked security and economic freedom.
