Division of labor is a system of dividing the work of making a product among different people who specialize in specific tasks. Instead of each person making an entire product, workers focus on one step in the process. In a pencil factory, for instance, some workers might cut the wood, others insert the graphite, and still others attach the erasers. Workers become skilled at their specific tasks and save time because they’re not switching between different activities. This system has been important for increasing the amount of goods that can be produced in modern economies.
