Question

Compare the conditions for workers under the putting-out system with the working conditions in the factory system. Which system would be preferable to most workers? Who benefits from the new system of labor?

Answer 1

Factory system makes use of division of labor and machinery to in producing goods and services.  Everything is centralized and production is more standardized to ensure uniformity.   In the putting-out system deals more with sub-contracting to finish a certain task.  It employs craftsmen and it had a flexible period.  It was convenient because many of these people lived near the workplace.  Eventually the factory system replaced the pull-out system as industrialization grew.
