Do industrialisation and the shift to services and knowledge-based work like IT lead to greater skills or de-skilling? Elaborate.  

Answer»
  • There is an important debate in Sociology about whether industrialisation and the shift to services and knowledge-based work like IT leads to greater skills in society or does it create for de-skilling. 
  • There is no comparison between the skills of a software engineer and that of a farmer. They are both skilled in their own ways. 
  • The issue that increasing mechanisation is de-skilling people i.e. the work that could be earlier done using manual labour is being done by machines de-skilling workers in the process. 
  • But, for any developing nation industrialisation is crucial to its growth but the questions is the price that needs to paid for this growth.
