Abstract

Quand la question de l’offre de travail est posée à l’économiste, la réponse semble assez simple. Loin des considérations d’intérêt au travail ou de socialisation par le travail… l’économiste analyse l’offre de travail dans le cadre de la théorie du consommateur. Le choix du consommateur résulte d’un arbitrage entre consommation et loisir. Le travail, à la différence des autres biens, n’est pas source de satisfaction (en ce sens, on parle de « désutilité » du travail). Le bien-être qu’il procure est donc indirect : en tant que source de revenu, il permet d’accéder à la consommation, qui, elle, est source de satisfaction. En d’autres termes, le travail est source de désutilité et le loisir, confondu avec le temps non travaillé, entre positivement dans la fonction d’utilité.
