Title II of the Social Security Act provides for assistance to those who have paid into the system through their employment and then either reach the age of retirement or become disabled. Children and spouses of those who die can also access these benefits. This benefit is more commonly referred to as SSA or just Social Security.

Hope that helps.

related to the demand for the product or service labor is producing.

Explanation:

Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.

In Economics, there are four (4) main factors of production and these are;

I. Land.

II. Labor (working).

III. Capital resources.

IV. Entrepreneurship.

Labor refers to the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.

Generally, when these aforementioned factors of production are combined effectively and efficiently, they can be used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services to meet the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.

Typically, when economists say that the demand for labor is a derived demand, what they do really mean is that, this demand for labor is related to the demand by the consumers for the product or service labor is producing.
