Answer 2

Answer:    Loss of flexibility among the workers

Explanation:  Specialization and division of labor is one of the prerequisites for a market economy proposed by Adam Smith. Of course, specialization has changed shape from its initial idea, that is, it can be said that specialization has come to such an extent that workers specialize in narrow areas of knowledge and skills, though highly specialized. That way, if a worker loses his job due to a decrease in labor demand, he will not be able to find a job in another branch of production or service because he is not closely specialized in those other fields, so he does not have the necessary skills for that other job. This practically means that workers lose the flexibility to handle different jobs unless they are retrained, but this means that they cannot immediately find a new job after losing their jobs.
