Question

Write True or False against the statement.

 At the end of the nineteenth century, 80 per cent of the total workforce in Europe was employed in the technologically advanced industrial sector.

Answer 1

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

At the end of the nineteenth century, less than 20% of the total European workforce was employed in the technologically advanced industrial sector. The development of new technology was extremely slow due to the high cost of machinery, frequent breakdowns, and pricey upkeep. As a result, the vast majority of the population remained employed in agriculture or traditional, handcrafted domestic production units.
