- Unpaid work is labor employment done without giving any wage to the worker. These may be either members of a family or cooperative; conscripts or forced labour; volunteer workers who work for charity or amusement; students who take intern positions as work experience; or conventional workers who are not paid because their enterprise is short of money or subject to embezzlement.

- QUOTE: I concentrate in this address on employment, which is work that produces earnings (or profit, if one is self-employed). Equating work with pay or profit is of course a limited view, as there are many activities that create value but are unpaid, such as those that take place in the household. Given my focus largely on industrial countries, particularly the United States, I emphasize precarious employment in the formal economy.
