During the war many African Americans migrated from the southern countryside's to the southern towns and cities for work. More than 1 million African Americans migrated to the north to work in factories; by 1945 50% of African Americans lived in towns and cities. This push towards industrial employment was increased in machinery in farming witch resulted in less demand for labourers to work on the fields. Agricultural work was the main source for income for African Americans. In factories African Americans earned more money than they did as farm labourers.
This is a result of the fact that more than 40% of the less developed nations population live in megacities; making them large hubs for population, employment and free riding off services such as sanitation and water not provided in rural areas (and only marginally supplied in megacities incidentally). Mega cities in the developed world provide bases for national governance and NGO’s, and the role shall be likewise discussed further in character. Character
At the start of the 1970’s, shops began to move and spread away from the CBD to areas on the outskirts of the city. This was due to reasons such as high city rents and taxes and the inability to expand services. Out of the city land is much cheaper, as is rent, for example the yearly rent for a mere metre square of land on Oxford Street, London is £4400, where as in Meadowhall, Sheffield, it is only £217. As the growth of suburbs increase, retailers and companies are in effect, chasing their money, relocating to the rural urban fringe to gain the new community’s wealth. The increase in road building has meant easy routes from the urban centre to out of the city, making new supermarkets and shopping facilities out of the city more
What accounted for the rise of urbanization in America during the nineteenth century? Urban population of America increased seven fold after Civil War, natural increase accounted for a small part of urban growth, high infant mortality, declining fertility rate, high death rate .In 1900 almost 14 percent were urbanites even though only 12 cities had 1 million or more inhabitants. An agricultural economy to an industrial economy in the end of the 19th century were the most successful nation.The years of industrial expansion after the Civil War brought important changes to American society. The country became increasingly urban, and cities grew not only in terms of population but also in size, with skyscrapers pushing cities upward and new transportation systems extending the outward. Part of the urban population growth was fueled by an unprecedented mass immigration to the United States that continued unabated into the first two decades of the twentieth century.
Evidently there is an unequal relationship between the north and south, which could be mainly due to the fact many of the southern countries were owned by the north in the past. The level of consumption differs greatly between the north and south. The northern countries tend to be more developed, with larger and more stable economies, which result in most of the population sustaining a higher standard of living and having more money to spend on goods and services. The north also has an excess of Transnational Corporations which encourage the high consumption levels. Whereas in the south; large percentages of the population cannot afford to buy goods which are not absolutely necessary, as they live in poverty.
The West in 15OO 1 ] Today, Canada is one of the most urbanized nations in the world, with over eighty-twp percent of the population living in towns and cities. Back in the 1500’s the West was completely opposite. The majority of the population lived in the countryside. Agriculture was a primary economic activity and farm workers were spread across the land. Unlike today there were only a very few important cities although they contained a very small population in comparison to what our cities are made up of today.
Coal and iron deposits in the southern | The sparse population of the West did not support much industrial growth, and the economy continued to be based on natural resources. | Economic growth in both farming and manufacturing. | Population Change | There was a high population.By 1870 about 15 percent of the U.S. population was foreign born. | Many Africans Americans left to work in the North and Midwest because of the problems with race. |
Another factor of changing gender roles might’ve been that since the development of agriculture, women didn’t have much to do in the new society created. 4) During the Neolithic Revolution, agriculture had spread from Asia to places like Northern Africa and Europe. Most humans had settled the Middle East but there were also many people in China and Japan. The dependence on wheat and rice substantiated because more people had settled in Asia and the supply was higher than anywhere else. Agriculture had changed human society
The current minimum wage is not the primary problem for the poor, because most poor don’t work at minimum wage. In fact, according to one study, “Over 60% of those under the poverty line do not work, and only 11% have full-time jobs” (Wagner) Since the increase in the minimum wage will cause large amount of job losses, those who are under the poverty line and don’t work will have even a harder time finding work. Another effect of an increase in the minimum wage is that small business will become less profitable. Those who are
Farmers continued to depend on the time of the year and changing of the seasons. But in cities clocks became part of everyday lives, and a clear cut line between work time and play time was drawn. The long hours and low wages was unappealing to most men, so factories hired people that did not have other ways of producing an income. This created a demand for labor that was met by immigration. Between 1840 and 1860 more than 4 million people entered the U.S, this was more than the entire population in 1790.
