Question
Define Division of labour. Explain three benefits of the Division of labour to producers.
Solution
Division of Labour: “The system of distributing a particular type of job to a particulars type of worker is known as specialization division of labour.”
Advantages/Benefits to Producers:
- Increase in Production: With the specialization of labour, the workers become more skilled and efficient. They acquire higher speed in work, which ultimately results in more production, quantitatively as well as qualitatively.
- Improvement in Quality: As the worker acquires greater skill in performing the work, the quality of the commodity produced is better.
- New Innovations: Consequent to the division of labour, the worker uses only one kind of the machine and tool or attends to only one process of the total work continuously for a long period and hence he originates an entirely new idea, which sometimes results in a new invention.
