Answer:

Specialization occurs when people and businesses concentrate on what they are best at.

With people being assigned to various jobs, there was economic specialization as people did other economic activities such as art and crafts.

In conclusion, specialization made Egypt better and more prosperous.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ancient times of Egypt, women were allowed to work at a job outside their house. Works which include baking, spiritual priests, farmers, merchants, crafts, artists, and scribes. There were many professions in ancient Egypt, most of which were inherited. The Egyptian economy were benefitted by:

  1. Allowing for more types of goods to be produced
  2. More quantity of goods produced
  3. More economic activities could be focused on

As a result of people being able to focus on one job such as farming, they became more efficient at it such that they were producing way more than they would have produced if everyone was doing it with minimal efficiency.
