A wage-laborer is defined in the context of social theory as a person without ownership of the means of production, whose role in the market is to sell their own services (i.e., their labour) to those who do.
By definition, wage-laborers are supposed to be a unique feature of industrialized society, whereas earlier forms of social production entailed serfdom or slavery.
