The Major Factors of Production in Economics
Aim: What are the major factors of production in economics?
Four Factors of Production
We use four basic resources to satisfy our needs and wants known as
factors of production
.
Four Factors of Production
Land – this refers to all
natural resources
used to produce goods and services. This
includes crops that are grown on a land, minerals that are mined from land and rent that
is paid to an owner of land for its use.
Four Factors of Production
Labor – this is the
effort
that an individual person puts into making a good or service.
For this effort the person is paid a
wage
.
Four Factors of Production
Capital – this is anything that is used to
produce other goods and services
. If you make
cars you need machines to make the metal that is used in the cars. It is also the truck that
drives the cars to the dealer who sells them, and it is the building that the cars are made
in.
Four Factors of Production
Entrepreneurs – risk taking
individuals
in search of
profit
. They are often thought of
being the
driving force
in an economy because they are the people who start new
businesses or bring new products to the market.
Goods and Services

Using the space below list the characteristics of goods vs. services
a physical thing you

What are two reasons we study economic?
1. We want to be good
consumers
. Since our resources are limited we have to make
choices.
2. We also study economics to be good
citizens
. Economics affects us as a citizen through
our voting decisions.
How does economics play an important role in our lives?
•We want to have good information as consumers to make sure we spend our
limited
resources
in a good way.
•As a citizen we want to make sure the
government
is spending money in a way we
agree with.
•If we don’t agree with the government, then we can exercise our right as a citizen and
vote
for change.
Factors of production in economics encompass land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Land represents natural resources, labor involves human effort, capital includes tools and machinery, and entrepreneurs drive innovation and risk-taking. These factors are essential for producing goods and services to meet society's needs and wants. Additionally, the distinction between goods and services, and the reasons for studying economics are highlighted in the content.
