töömahukamad

Töömahukamad, a term in Estonian, refers to work-intensive activities or industries that rely heavily on labor relative to capital or technology. These are defined by a high proportion of labor input in the production process, often seen in sectors like agriculture, traditional manufacturing, and certain service roles.

Characterized by manual labor, repetitive tasks, or processes not easily automated, töömahukamad activities may operate with lower technological integration or higher labor costs. Economically, they contrast with capital-intensive sectors, which prioritize machinery or automation.

Examples include small-scale farming, textile production, and specific construction tasks. In employment terms, töömahukamad industries typically generate more jobs per unit of output, though they may face challenges in global competitiveness due to labor cost factors.

Analyzing töömahukamad helps understand economic structures, particularly in regions where labor availability and cost shape industrial choices.
