  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Since the establishment of labour markets, work has been mainly valued and therefore paid according to its market value. Activities, such as cleaning, taking care of others, or restoring the environment have usually a lower market value than activities serving economic interests of people or firms, such as financial or legal services. This chapter explains how economic ideology has led to this situation and discusses two shortcomings of this value system. On one hand, it can deter individuals from using their skills for non-market activities. On the other hand, it can encourage market activities that may be detrimental for people and the environment. This chapter builds on a post-growth approach and clarifies the notions of essential work and detrimental work. It explains if, how, and when labour law should intervene in the value of work.</dc:description>
