- Pre 1800s
- 1760 - 1840
- Urbanisation
- Most people lived as farmers/ agriculture in primary sector jobs. The population was majority in rural areas.
- 1970s
- The Industrial revolution where people moved to the countryside to cities to work in factories (secondary jobs). This is called Rural to Urban migration.
- Globalisation
- Cities grew through urbanisation and offered lots of opportunities, however conditions could be rough. The cities built tightly packed terraced housing ( no garden, no garage) to cope with the population density. Factories were big pull factors for people.
- 1970s - Onwards
- Machines began to replace people and things became automated during Margaret Thatcher's reign. This saw the start of de-industrialization and resulted in massive unemployment for coal mining industries and factory workers.
-
- As factories closed, products became cheap overseas. These abandoned factories became derelict and encouraged anti-social behavior (crime). Only some cities created regeneration plans to renovate these spaces.
- The UK saw a rapid increase of people in tertiary jobs that replaced factory workers. The UK is now HIC and world leader in finance, media, research and entertainment. We are now seeing a quaternary sector ; service jobs.
