The enclosure act in Britain during the Industrial Revolution meant that many small farmers could not afford the rent to the large landowners so had to move into the cities and usually take up industrial work. As a result of the Combination Act of around 1825, unions were banned or made illegal so that workers could not fight for higher pay or better working conditions so workers had to endure poor working conditions. Due to the Poor Law later version in the 1800's the unemployed could live in workhouses as a form of relief.
