reproduction of labor

Reproduction of labor refers to the process by which workers sustain and maintain their ability to work over time. It involves earning enough income to meet basic needs—such as food, shelter, and healthcare—and to invest in education and skills development. This ensures they remain healthy, motivated, and capable of productive effort. Essentially, it’s about workers continuously replenishing their capacity to contribute economically, enabling ongoing employment and economic stability. This concept highlights the importance of fair wages, social support, and opportunities for personal growth to sustain a productive workforce.
