Abstract:Digital labor is a form of labor closely associated with digital economy. To promote the orderly development of digital economy, it is essential to have a correct understanding of the concept of “digital labor”. Based on the theoretical resources of Marxist political economics, Italian Autonomia constructs the Immaterial Labor theory which provides an important prerequisite foundation for the birth of the concept of “digital labor”. Compared with “immaterial labor”, “digital labor” focuses more on digital information production activities through the Internet platform. Through the overall review of the concept and evolution stages of “digital labor”, this paper provides a clear presentation of its characteristics, including the wide composition of labor subjects, the virtual-reality linkage of labor process elements, and the diversity of labor value creation methods. Moreover, it offers practical insights into important issues of digital economy development such as enhancement of the digital literacy of contemporary digital labor subjects, achievement sharing of digital labor development, standardized integration of virtual interfaces of digital labor data with real-world infrastructure, and deep inter-industry collaboration for the realization of digital product value.
