Question

Define Division of labour. Explain three benefits of the Division of labour to producers.

Answer 1

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:

1. 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.
2. Improvement in Quality: As the worker acquires greater skill in performing the work, the quality of the commodity produced is better.
3. 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.
