Industrialisation (or industrialization) is the period of social and economic change that transforms a human group from anagrarian society into an industrial one. It is a part of a wider modernisation process, where social change and economic development are closely related with technological innovation, particularly with the development of large-scale energy andmetallurgy production. It is the extensive organisation of an economy for the purpose of manufacturing.[2]
Industrialisation also introduces a form of philosophical change where people obtain a different attitude towards their perception ofnature, and a sociological process of ubiquitous rationalisation.
There is considerable literature on the factors facilitating industrial modernisation and enterprise development.[3] Key positive factors identified by researchers have ranged from favourable political-legal environments for industry and commerce, through abundant natural resources of various kinds, to plentiful supplies of relatively low-cost, skilled and adaptable labour.
As industrial workers ' incomes rise, markets for consumer goods and services of all kinds tend to expand and provide a further stimulus to industrial investment and economic growth.
The first country to industrialise was the United Kingdom during the Industrial Revolution, commencing in the 18th century.[4]
By the end of the 20th century, East Asia had become one of the most recently industrialised regions of the world.[5] Contents [hide] * 1 Description * 2 History of industrialisation * 2.1 Industrial revolution in Europe * 2.2 Early industrialisation in other countries * 2.3 The Third World * 2.4 Petrol-producing countries * 2.5 Industrialisation in Asia * 2.6 Newly industrialised countries * 3 Social and environmental consequences * 3.1 Urbanisation * 3.2 Exploitation * 3.3 Change to family structure * 4 Current situation * 5 See also * 6 References * 7 Further
