Labor systems refer to the various methods and structures used to organize and manage work within a society or economy. These systems can include different forms of employment, such as slavery, indentured servitude, and free labor, each with distinct characteristics and implications for workers' rights and economic productivity. Throughout history, labor systems have evolved in response to social, economic, and technological changes. For example, the transition from feudalism to capitalism marked a significant shift in labor organization, influencing how workers are compensated and the nature of their work relationships.
