2 Early Origins “ Cottage ” Industry or “ putting out ” system

3 The “ Putting-Out ” System

4 Advantages of the Putting-Out System Peasants could supplement their agricultural incomes. – –Take advantage of winter months when farming was impossible. Merchants could avoid the higher wages and often demanding regulations of urban labor. – –Easier to reduce the number of workers when the economy was bad. Merchants could acquire capital, which would later play a part in funding industrialization itself. – –Peasants acquired future skills. Young people could start separate households earlier, thus contributing to population growth.
