Pre-Industrial, Industrial and Post-Industrial Era (Business Studies)
Work in Pre-industrial, Industrial and Post-industrial era
For this paper, we are going to look at 3 very different periods from the history. We concentrate on the work conditions, look at who has to work in the family and how inventions influence the production and selling processes. Also, name some jobs that were popular during these periods. First era is Pre-industrial era. Eventhough this period goes far back to the time when plough was invented (Concern Infotech Pvt. Ltd. 2010), we are going to look at last 250 years of it. This involves years 1500- 1750. Next period is Industrial era, which is from 1750 to late 20th century. Final era is Post-industrial era. This started circa 1980 and is still continuing.
Pre-industrial era
This period is very important when we think about development. Firstly, working people had to develop their physical skills at that time because there were no machines to help them. Everything had to be done by using their own hands and strength of their body which made production more timetaking and less producing than it would have been with machines help. It took time until people discovered that it is more useful and easier for them to use animals instead of their own power (Concern Infotech Pvt. Ltd. 2010). After that animals` importance was growing and people used them for cultivation and transportation. Secondly, people found out that combining plough and irrigation makes it possible for them to use fallow land which helps to increase efficiency (Concern Infotech Pvt. Ltd. 2010). Thirdly, there was a growth in economy on that time which led to an increase in occupations (Edgell, 2012) because people started to want more products to choose from and also new things that they did not have before.
On the other hand, because of the noticeable increase in production, social differentiation also increased. This means that there are dominant groups who own the land and subordinate groups who have to do everything. This includes
