Question

Discuss the factors limiting division of labour in an economy.

Answer 1

There are limitations of division of labour.

• Monotony - Under Division of Labour, a worker has to do the same job time and again for years together. Hence after some time the worker feels uninterested or the work becomes infuriating and tedious. There remains no happiness or pleasure in the job for him.


• Loss of joy - In the absence of division of labour, he feels a lot of pleasure on the successful completion of his goods. But under division of labour, nobody can claim the credit of making it. The work gives him neither pride nor pleasure. Hence, there is total loss of joy, happiness and interest in the work.


• Loss of responsibility - Many workers joins hands to produce an article. If the manufacture is not good and adequate none can be held accountable for it. It is normally said that every man's accountability is no man's accountability.
