Social Change and Development in India: Change and Development in industrial Society

Question:
Which of the following is NOT an effect of industrialisation?
Options:
Work has become too mechanical.
An average work day has 10-12 hours and it is not uncommon for IT employees to stay overnight in the office when faced with a project deadline.
The joint family seems to have re-emerged.
None of the above
Correct Answer:
None of the above
Explanation:
As a result of long working hours, in places like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Gurugram, where many IT firms or call centres are located, shops and restaurants have also changed their opening hours, and are open late. If both husband and wife work, then children have to be put in crèches. The joint family, which was supposed to have disappeared with industrialisation, seems to have re-emerged, as grandparents are roped in to help with children.
