The need of factory worker housing cannot be denied during the period of industrialization. In fact, from early 18 century in Europe and at the end of 20 century in Asia, industrialization have been bringing the problem of housing for their workers, but only few attention are given by governments or companies. This study is a secondary study and at the end offers some arguments that can be used as further implication research.

In this paper an attempt is made to explore the neighbourhood linkages among the lower caste factory workers in colonial India and the ways in which this acted as an agency to forge a community identity among them. For the purpose of this work theme such as the settlement patterns of the neighbourhoods, the nature of leisure activities and the transformations that some sections of the lower caste factory workers under went as a consequence of upward mobility have been taken up. This paper focuses on the leather workers of Kanpur an industrial town of the United Provinces (Uttar Pradesh), the period of study is the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the initial stages of industrialization.

While there is a general awareness that the proportion of women in the workforce is gradually rising, some of the features of this increase in female employment are less well understood. For example, between 1951 and 1971 the proportion of women workers in the labour force rose from 34.7 to 43.0 per cent. However, this increase masks an important change in the composition of the female workforce. In the same period the percentage of married women in the female workforce rose from 38.2 to 63.1 per cent. This growth of married women within the workforce has been paralleled by a growth in part‐time work. In fact, since the early 1960s most of the increase in the number of women entering employment has been due to a growth in part‐time rather than full‐time employees.

AbstractFemale workers represent a fundamental component of the workforce to the extent that it is true that the Industrial Revolution owes them a huge debt. However, despite the unfair exploitation of many women in factories in which conditions resembled manslaughter, they have been often neglected and reduced to liminal characters by Victorian novelists. An interesting exception in the early Victorian period is represented by the writer Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, whose fiction works as a medium of social criticism. Her semi-fictional The Wrongs of Woman is a reform novel which sheds a controversial light on female working conditions. On the one hand she indeed deplores the inhuman treatment of female labourers, but on the other hand she also argues that female employment provokes a consequent increase in male unemployment! My paper aims to investigate the role of Tonna's text and her attempt to alleviate working-class suffering.

Throughout the twentieth century, the city of Turin, Italy, has maintained an unusually pure & persistent Wc culture. Several major tendencies have been evident in this culture: productivism, workerism, council democracy, avant-gardism, apoliticism, & localism. However, these ideas & tendencies have limitations that will eventually create problems for the Turinese. At some point, the Left will govern in Italy, & then a tradition that has long ignored the state will have to learn how to control it. In fact, one likely eventuality is conflict of the Turinese labor movement with even a leftist state over control of the factories. W. H. Stoddard
