industrialisation provided the main
impetus for public health reforms in
the year 1780 to 1939
Tags
Intro:
Increasing numbers of overpopulation created poor living conditions, such as
overcrowding and poor sanitation which were detrimental to the health of the British public
BUT
it could be argued that the role of individuals such as John snow and Joseph
Bazalgette provided the public with greater understanding of the causes of disease
which were so prevalent in Britain which called for public health reforms
It could also be argued that changing attitudes and economic imperatives provided the
main impetus for public health reforms
In order to come to a conclusion the strengths and weaknesses of all these factors must
be assessed
Main body:
1) Due to the industrial revolution in the early 18th century many moved to towns and cities
where they were industrial and manufacturing jobs and high employment
This sparked rapid growth in population in Britain where on average the population of
industrial towns and cities were thousands and thousands
Influx of people into industrial towns and cities created poor living and housing
conditions for the British people
Many lived in overcrowded rooms and this led to the spread of disease poor
hygiene and sanitation
As a result many people fell ill and death rates were increasing
Those who were living in one room that was overcrowded the density was 32% per 1000
population
this shows that the poor living conditions were severely detrimental to the British
people
therefore it may be argued that industrialization provided the main impetus for
public health reforms
