ANALYSIS OF WORKFORCE AS AN ECONOMIC CATEGORY
Journal Title: Проблеми системного підходу в економіці - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 62
Abstract
The article analyses the essence of the product, the labour force, its creation and operation in creating added value, as well as the contradiction between the social nature of the product creation and the correct use of its employer, as well as contradictions between the value and the price of labour that do not coincide. As it writes Karl Marx, “by labour-power or capacity for labour is to be understood the aggregate of those mental and physical capabilities existing in a human being, which he exercises whenever he produces a use-value of any description. The continuance of this relation demands that the owner of the labour-power should sell it only for a definite period, for if he were to sell it rump and stump, once for all, he would be selling himself, converting himself from a free man into a slave, from an owner of a commodity into a commodity”. However, the labour force has its own value. “In order to modify the human organism, so that it may acquire skill and handiness in a given branch of industry, and become labour-power of a special kind, a special education or training is requisite, and this, on its part, costs an equivalent in commodities of a greater or less amount. This amount varies according to the more or less complicated character of the labour-power”. From the above, it follows that labour becomes a commodity only when it takes part in the production process and participates in the process of creating the necessary surplus value, and only due to its participation in these processes creates the necessary surplus value. At the same time, the labour force for some reasons does not participate in the distribution of this surplus value. This is due to the fact that labour is a commodity but, for some reasons, it is not capital, having its own value.
