The term used by sociologists to describe the specialization of work tasks is "division of labor". Eugenia's work involves specializing in repairing only one type of machine, which is an example of division of labor. Globalization refers to the interconnectedness of the world's economies, while credentialism refers to the tendency to require higher levels of education or certification for jobs that previously did not require it. Economic independence refers to the ability of an individual or household to support themselves financially without assistance.
