2. What is putting out system? Write one advantage and disadvantage of the 'putting
out system​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The putting-out system is a means of subcontracting work.

Advantages:-

The advantages of this system were that workers involved could work at their own speed while at home, and children working in the system were better treated than they would have been in the factory system, although the homes might be polluted by the toxins from the raw materials.

Disadvantages:-

The merchant distributes both work and yarn among the weavers based on the orders he has received for cloth. This dependence on the merchants both for raw materials and markets means that the merchants have a lot of power.
