abstract

Labor, which has been mostly at the edge of theoretical focus in social sciences, is introduced here not only as an economic and narrowly anthropological category but also as a general-sociocultural category. The performance-oriented economy, which has readily absorbed the scientific-technical progress, has been releasing growing parts of employable population from work. Yet humans, as active social animals with conservative biological constitution, increasingly need adequate labor. Live human labor has been terribly quickly disappearing in technically developed societies. Labor therefore ceases to be an economic category and has unfortunately become a psychological and medical-therapeutical category. In terms of human ontogenesis the absence of labor activity has negative implications during periods of young adulthood and in older adulthood.

keywords: Labor; scientific-technical progress; loss of live human labor; impacts and risk of unemployment
