Abstract

In most general form, the social and economic basis of the reproduction of labor power can be represented as the complex of living conditions that promote this reproduction process. These conditions must be examined on a broad plane and in their relationship to one another. For example, working conditions include sanitation and hygiene of the workplace, the mechanization and automation of labor, shifts and the duration of the work day, and breaks in the work. Social demands include the need for certain relations within the production collective and the need for social contacts among people outside the collective. When we know the magnitude and structure of the population's needs, we can control the reproduction of labor power to some degree by regulating the degree of satisfaction of those needs.
