There are two types of social classes: middle-class: -they enjoyed all the benefits of industrialization; -they had a comfortable life; -they lived in the richest neighborhoods of the city; -they had a great privilege in the economy; -they were the owners of the factories and received capital; working class: -they were the working class and were considered propertyless; -they were wage workers; -they hadn’t ownership of the means of production. ]]> 2025-01-31 08:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/valeria_terruzzi/37d645tpys7006si/wish/3310873128 EMIGRATION https://padlet.com/valeria_terruzzi/37d645tpys7006si/wish/3310874349 During the 19th century, we can distinguish two type f emigration

    1. EXTRACONTINENTAL: 14 mln of Italians decided to leave their country, to head towards America, inspired by the "American dream".

    Divided in two periods: A) 1879-1896 "stage of depression", in which the majority of migrants were northern. B) 1896-1913 "stage of expansion, and more southern left their country.

    1. INTRACONTINENTAL: Many people decided to move from rural countryside to the new cities, that have been built around industries.


    WHY PEOPLE BECAME "MIGRANTS"

    1. expulsive mechanism: people left because they no longer tolerated their home-situation.

    2. attractive mechanism: migrants were pushed by the idea of the existence of a better country were they could start a new life.

    The migration not only had an economic cost, but also stressed people psychologically. All these factors led to a MIGRATION-CHAIN: Many individuals took control of the emigration system, funding the journey of who decided to leave. Had the consequence of the increase of the transcontinental market.
