Chapter: Nations, Industry & Economic LifeWhat these drills covers
By the end of Industrial Society: Work, Cities & Unequal Change you should be able to:
- I can explain migration without one motive.

4 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: context, evidence, interpretation, nominal wage, urbanization.
Problem 1
Answer and explanation
Distinguish push factors, pull factors, and information networks. A city’s growth can include births and boundary changes as well as migration. Population totals alone do not reveal every person’s reasons for moving.
Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Evaluate employment through pay, hours, safety, stability, and control. Legal freedom to sign a contract does not establish equal bargaining power. Compare the worker’s alternatives and the institutions governing dismissal, injury, and collective action.
Problem 3
Answer and explanation
Explain the chain between a condition and an outcome rather than equating density with inevitable disease. A water system that reaches only some neighborhoods can produce unequal benefits. Inspection records and household access help test the mechanism.
Problem 4
Answer and explanation
Compare groups, dates, prices, and the scope of the record. Use an image to generate specific questions rather than treating one dramatic scene as a census. Distinguish nominal wages from what income can buy.
