töömahukaid

Töömahukaid is an Estonian term that translates to "labor-intensive" or "time-consuming" in English. It is used to describe tasks, processes, or activities that require a significant amount of human effort, time, or both to complete. The term is often employed in discussions related to work, production, agriculture, and various service industries.

When something is described as töömahukas, it implies that it cannot be easily automated or sped up with machinery. This might be due to the complexity of the work, the need for skilled manual labor, or the inherent nature of the activity itself. For example, traditional craftsmanship, certain types of farming, or detailed data entry can all be considered töömahukaid.

Understanding the labor-intensive nature of a task is crucial for planning, resource allocation, and cost estimation. It can also influence decisions about whether to pursue a particular activity, how to optimize it, or if outsourcing might be a viable option. In economic contexts, a high degree of labor intensity can impact employment levels and the overall structure of an industry.
