View source for Fair-Share Labor System


==Description==

A. Allen Butcher on [[Time-Based Economics]]:

"In many communal intentional communities, especially large communal societies, members make
commitments to work in particular areas as their primary work role, often with members rotating
among various full-time positions, usually without recording or reporting hours worked. Expectations
of the fulfillment of such labor contributions may be called a “fair-share labor system.” Examples of
community networks that had or continue to use fair-share labor systems are: Israeli Kibbutzim,
Japanese Yamagishi Kai in Japan, and the US and Canadian Hutterite Colonies (Gorni 1987. Fairshare
labor systems tend to result in gender-specific work roles, with women in domestic or support
services.

Monastic societies usually have specific labor-sharing expectations. For example, the Rule of St.
Benedict, written in the sixth century CE, specified work as a requirement of the monastic order."
