Answer to Question 1

Industrialization leads to a better food supply, better medical care, and better sanitation, all resulting in a decrease in mortality at all age levels; large families remain prestigious, so the birth rate remains high, and population explodes. Sociology says that it's not the technology, but sociological changes, that lead to the decrease in mortality, as society and its people decide to accept the technological changes.
