Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In preindustrial societies, people's participation in the workforce began at a very young age, often in their teenage years. Technological advances were limited, and did not require extensive training. New social categories were not created in preindustrial societies; rather, there were fixed social hierarchies based on birth and status. The ability to read and write was not necessary for contributing to society, as many people had specialized skills and knowledge that were passed down through apprenticeships and other forms of informal education.
