Examples of labour-intensive

• The advantage of test scores is that they are not labour-intensive and tests can be easily administered to large groups.

• Some labour-intensive tasks saw no mechanisation at all until very recently, most notably in routine hedging and ditching and in materials handling around the farmstead.

• Machine-based mass production was overwhelmingly dominant in the major factories, and labour-intensive production retained a practical meaning only in combination with machine use.

• The economic niche for medic pasture has been limited by (1) low farm wages favouring labour-intensive high-value crops and (2) price subsidies for wheat.

• They also tend to use more labour-intensive fishing gears than the richer fishermen.

• Also, these poor fishermen were more likely to use the labour-intensive fishing gears.

• With adequate technical assistance, credit and marketing, small farmers could diversify into other labour-intensive crops such as vegetables, rice and tubers.

• The expanded vegetable and other labour-intensive crops would replace part of the traditional crops as a source of cash income.

• The existence of substitution allows an even greater reduction in marginal cost in each time period, as fishermen substitute more labour-intensive gears.

• Their heavy consumption, while their occupations were less labour-intensive, reflected conservative nutritional strategies.

• In regions of tropical rainforest, maintaining the quality of agricultural land and increasing its area are labour-intensive activities (for example, forest needs to be cleared).

• Indeed, the latter was often referred to as being 'tedious', rather than labour-intensive.

• Given that larvae are often deposited at low densities this is a tedious, labour-intensive task.

• Such sampling and rearing of insects is very labour-intensive.

• Addressing poverty through other means - most notably by encouraging labour-intensive growth - thus must be an integral part of any solution.
