Decommodification
Concept in political economy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In political economy, decommodification is the strength of social entitlements and citizens' degree of immunization from market dependency.[1][2]
In regards to the labor force, decommodification describes a "degree to which individual, or families, can uphold a socially acceptable standard of living independently of market participation."[3][4]
While commodification is the transformation of goods, services, ideas and people into commodities or objects of trade, decommodification would be the "extent that workers can leave the labor market through choice."[5]
