Explanation:

1. During the factory - system era, children often worked alongside parents. Families did not work fewer hours, parents did not stay home while children worked, and families always needed income.
2. Industrialization led to an increased availability of consumer goods. Working conditions did not improve immediately, child labor was not eliminated, and urban growth was a result, not an end.
3. Overcrowded cities with pollution were a negative effect of industrialization. Safer housing was not a common result, life expectancy did not increase right away, and clean water everywhere was not achieved.
4. Industrialization led to the improvement of transportation with new canals, railroads, and roads. It did not slow travel, workers were not forbidden to travel, and transportation was affected.
5. A growing middle - class was a social benefit of industrialization. There was no free housing for all workers, workdays did not get shorter immediately, and poverty did not disappear.
6. People moved to cities during the Industrial Revolution to find factory and mine jobs, not to escape urban pollution.
