Division of labor is a system in which the work of making a product is split among different people who each specialize in a particular task. Rather than having one person make the entire product, workers concentrate on just one stage of production. In a backpack factory, for example, some workers might cut the fabric, others sew the pieces together, and still others attach the zippers. Workers become more skilled at their individual tasks and save time because they do not have to switch between different kinds of work. This system has played an important role in increasing the amount of goods that can be produced in modern economies.
