Since the advent of the Internet in the 1960 s,scientific and technological innovations such as digital technology,information and communication technology have emerged continuously.Human society is gradually moving from the era of industrial economy to the era of digital economy.The rapid development of digital economy has absorbed a large number of digital workers,digital labor production methods are increasingly important.This thesis uses Marx’s theory of production labor to explore the origin and form of digital labor.This helps to excavate the essence of digital labor,and also expands the connotation of marxist production labor theory under the new mode of production.In order to accurately grasp the role of digital labor in value creation,reasonably safeguard the interests of digital workers,and improve the distribution system in the digital economy era,it is necessary for us to make a comparative study on the productivity of digital labor in different social forms.Therefore,this thesis firstly combs the domestic and foreign literature on digital labor,and finds that there is a great difference in the understanding of the definition and scope of digital labor in academic circles.This is mainly due to the differences in scholars’ research perspectives and methods,which also indicates that the academic circle has not formed the definition of digital labor category has not been fully finalized.On this basis,this thesis divides digital labor into four types according to the development of industrial digitization and digital industrialization in China: labor of digital users,professional digital technological labor,digital labor based on network platform,digital labor formed by industrial digital transformation.However,the production regulations of these digital labor are different in different social production modes.For example,Marx showed in his theory of productive labor that the stipulation of productive labor in simple commodity production mode is not the same as that in capitalist production mode.Because the founders of Marxism did not experience the practice of socialist construction,they could not discuss the specific connotation of socialist production labor.But they made a general discussion about the stipulation of productive labor in the future society,which is the guide for the writing of this thesis.In fact,Chinese scholars have discussed socialist productive labor in many aspects,and there are differences and consensus on the provisions of labor productivity in the socialist mode of production,especially pointing out that socialist productive labor is the labor that produces to meet social needs and produce surplus products.This thesis makes a comparative analysis of the productivity of four types of digital labor in capitalism and socialism,and finds that the digital labor formed by the digital transformation of the industry and the specialized digital technology belong to the productive labor in the two modes of production,digital labor based on network platform needs to be analyzed and productive according to its specific labor content,but the labor of digital users has obvious difference between the two modes of social production,that is,the labor is productive in the capitalist mode of production,but it is necessary non-productive labor in the socialist mode of production.Through the comparative analysis,China’s development of digital labor in the conditions of socialist market economy can be inspired by:attaching importance to the status of digital labor,protecting the rights and interests of digital workers,improving the distribution system. |
