Nineteenth-century changes in social institutions The nineteenth century witnessed massive changes in social, economic, and familial institutions. The unit of pre-industrial work was the family. There, the production of goods, food preparation, child care, sick care, trade, sociability, and rest alternated throughout the day. Work roles were allocated 22 Stacey J.
