Women’s Domestic Labour, New Left Review, vol. I, no. 89, 1975, p. 47-58.
Thus I shall take the value of labour power to refer to the value of commodities purchased by the wage and consumed by the worker’s family. This gives us a definition of necessary labour or value as that portion of labour performed in commodity production which goes to workers’ consumption via wages, and a definition of surplus labour or value as that portion of labour performed in commodity production which is unpaid and goes to profits for capitalist accumulation or consumption.
J’avais buté sur le fait que la valeur de la force de travail a un caractère collectif. Jean Gardiner aussi, d’abord considère la consommation de la famille et non du travailleur ou de la travailleuse individuellement. Ensuite elle parle de travail nécessaire comme valeur des marchandises consommées par les travailleurs au pluriel
If one accepts that there is, at any given time, a historically determined subsistence level, this level can be achieved by varying the contributions to it of commodities purchased out of wages on the one hand and domestic labour performed by housewives on the other. Thus, at a given level of subsistence and a given level of technology, necessary labour may in fact be a variable.
