Internal Migration and its Pattern during the British Industrial Revolution

Economic development relies heavily on labor availability. The industrialization in Britain led to an increase in demand for workers in urban areas. Therefore, the rural population had to migrate in search of lucrative opportunities in towns. The migration resulted from uneven industrialization in the country. Therefore, some regions experienced more rapid developments regarding industries and business as opposed to others. Consequently, the scenario led to an imbalance in labor availability. The rural areas (areas with low industrialization) had a labor surplus while the urban areas had labor scarcity. The increase in labor, capital and technology significantly improve the national product. Thus, regarding the available pieces of literature, I postulate that internal migration was highly rampant during Britain's industrial revolution even though it experienced some levels of inefficiencies.

Long claimed that several factors assisted the rural population to move into the urban areas (1). He noted that by 1841 the transport sector was highly developed to enable them to access the towns. They would either use the roads or the railways that were spread out in the region. Moreover, the absence of social welfare programs gave the migrants the ability to leave their homes. The author noted that the rural areas lost more than 4 million people within 60 years (2). Eventually, the urban population outweighed that in the rural areas.
