Disadvantages of labour intensive technology
- Low quality products expected.
- The technique may discourage foreign investors who are more familiar with capital intensive technology.
- Labour intensive technology may discourage the development of skills since the technique does not require a lot of skills.
- At times, labour may require a lot in terms of welfare facilities, trade union agitations in a bid to demand for a higher pay, etc.
- It may not promote efficiency in the production process, hence discouraging entrepreneurship.
