# Division of Labour
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The separation of a work process into distinct tasks performed by specialised workers, increasing productivity through greater dexterity, saved time, and the invention of labour-saving machinery, originally arising from the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange.

||||
|
||||

||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
The chapter's central concept, described as the necessary consequence of human propensity to exchange, which allows individuals to specialise in particular occupations and thereby increase overall productivity and wealth.

## Original Wording

Specialisation increases throughput by improving skill, reducing switching costs, and encouraging process innovation.
