Labor is the foundation of the survival and development of human society, which mainly refers to the process of producing material materials, and usually refers to human movements that can export labor or value to the outside world. Labor is the only means for people to survive and develop themselves. According to the traditional labor classification theory, labor can be divided into two categories: mental labor and manual labor.
Labor is a special form of human movement. In the commodity production system, labor is the expenditure and use of labor force.
Marx gave us this definition: "The use of labor is labor itself. The buyer of labor consumes labor, which means that the seller of labor provides labor. "
Three basic types of labor:
1, manual labor:
Manual labor refers to human labor that is mainly based on the labor of human muscles and bones, supplemented by the labor of brain and other physiological systems.
2, mental work:
Mental labor refers to human labor which is mainly based on brain nervous system labor and supplemented by other physiological system labor.
3, manual labor:
Manual labor refers to other forms of human labor except manual labor and mental labor.
The general labor of human beings consists of different proportions of mental labor, physical labor and physiological labor.
Generally speaking, mental labor refers to the compound labor in which mental labor accounts for the main proportion, physical labor refers to the compound labor in which physical labor accounts for the main proportion, and physiological labor refers to the compound labor in which physical labor accounts for the main proportion.
For example, although the production process of population is mainly manual labor, it is also accompanied by certain manual labor and mental labor.
