With regard to number of factories, in 1851, 225 were present in England and Wales. 
This value steadily increased up to 721 factories in 1881, which was the peak value. 
However, this number then decreased after 1881, decreasing gradually until 600 
factories were found in 1901. 
When analyzing and comparing the number of female employees to male employees, 
very similar trends can be seen. They both have peak values in 1851, where the 
number of male employees was 287100 and those of female where 190 000. 
Generally male employees decreased with a ste
eper
gradient, while reaching a value 
of 31 000 in 1901 which was very similar to that of the female of 30 000. Normally 
the number of male employees was greater than that of the females with the 
exception of the year 1861, where female employees numbers were 160 000, much 
greater than 131 780 (which was of the males).
