labor force participation  

Definición

  • Generally, labor force participation is seen as representing those who are in the paid labor force and who try to sell their labor in exchange for wages. The phrase can conjure up social theories such as the productive powers of labor as developed by Adam Smith or the need for “labor power” in a capitalist society as delineated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
