The Incan Mita system was a labor system used by the Inca Empire in ancient South America. It required all able-bodied men between the ages of 15 and 50 to provide a certain number of days of labor each year to the state. This labor could be used for various purposes, such as agricultural work, construction projects, or military service. The Mita system was primarily used to support large-scale state projects and public works, such as building roads, bridges, and irrigation systems. It also played a role in the administration and distribution of goods and resources within the empire.
