How did the Industrial Revolution affect social and demographic characteristics?

The Industrial Revolution had an impact on most parts of life. One strong impact on life was that of the social life of the people. One of demographics affected by the Industrial Revolution is women within the community. With the rise of sectors such as the White-Collar workers, greater sexual division started to occur. This is exampled by the fact that women, just like in factories, were paid much less than men by their employers for the same job. This is partly because of the idea that women were simply worth less than their male counterparts and thus, should receive lower pay.
