Capitalists began to look elsewhere for recruits. Although Japan had numerous women working in the cotton industry, India did not have many women working for the cotton industry.

In both India and Japan, the people of the countries suffered from low wages and poor work as well as poor living conditions (Docs. 5,3,2,6). On the contrary, India adapted to the new innovations before Japan did and the reasons for low wages differed (Docs. 4,7,1,3).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Groups 3,5 - workers came from agricultural communities
Groups 2,4,7 - Japan had more female workers while India had more male workers
Groups 1,6 - increase in industrialization and the use of machines]]> 2017-02-24 20:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156144664 https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156144828 From the 1810s to the 1930s,  India and Japan underwent industrialization, resulting in various similarities, such as an available labor force from neighboring rural villages and the maltreatment of these workers. The differences would be that Japan recruited both men and women, but mostly women whereas India mainly employed men. Also, India used more machinery than Japan.
similarities: docs 2, 3 , 5
differences: docs 1, 4, 6, 7]]> 2017-02-24 20:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156144828 https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156144868 Although the cotton industry in Japan and India shared many similarities like low wages and poor working conditions, they were also fundamentally different in that the workers in India were men while the workers in Japan were women. Japan also seemed to be less technologically advanced than India as their yarn and cloth were still handwoven while India had machines.

Groups 3,5 - recruitment of workers from agricultural communities
Groups 4,7,2 - Difference in gender roles
Groups 1,6: The increase of the use of machines.]]> 2017-02-24 20:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156144868 https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156144904 During the Industrial Revolution, many industries arose such as the cotton industry. Japan and India had significant social and economic changes during this time such as the change from agriculture to industrial economy. Many workers during this time period had suffered from harsh working conditions and exposure to such diseases such as lung disease and tuberculosis. Adding on, many were given low wages as well.(Doc 3,5) The usage of machinery caused a chain of mass production]]> 2017-02-24 20:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156144904 https://padlet.com/cschirmer1/u8bnn6y523sl/wish/156145537 From the 1880s and the 1930s, Japan and India's industrialization of the cotton industry had similarities and differences. Japan had women working in the factories to produce cotton. However, in India, men were the more dominant working force in the industries. Both of the countries had workers who were peasants and gave significantly low wages to the workers there. Also, there was a rapid growth of industrialization in both these places.

Groups 4 and 7- difference in the gender of the workforce
Groups 2,3,5- the working conditions of the laborers 
Groups 1 and 6- rapid growth of industrialization
