有的经济学家把生产力发展分为第一代生产力即手工生产力,第二代生产力即机器生产力,第三代生产力即电子生产力。与此相适应的劳动者则分别是以体力消耗为主要特征,以成型经验为活动指南,以手工工具为作业手段的“体力型”劳动者;以脑体并用为主要特征,以文化知识为活动指南,以普通机器体系为作业手段的“文化型”劳动者;以及以智力支出为主要特征,以现代科学知识体系为活动指南,以智能机器体系为作业手段的“科技型”劳动者。在不同代的生产力条件下,劳动力的形态结构是不同的。比如在第二代生产力条件下,应该是一个中间大,两头小的腰鼓型——文化型劳动 Some economists divide the development of productive forces into the first generation of productive forces, that is, the productive forces of the hand. The second generation of productive forces means the productivity of the machinery and the third generation of productive forces, that is, the electronic productive forces. The corresponding laborers are the “physical” laborers whose main features are physical exertion, the molding experience as the activity guide and the hand tools as their working methods; the brain Knowledge as Activity Guide, “Machine Type” Laborer using Common Machine System as Work Means; and “Science and Technology” with intellectual expenditure as its main feature, modern scientific knowledge system as its activity guide, and intelligent machine system as its working method Type "laborer. Under different generations of productive forces, the structure and structure of the labor force are different. For example, under the conditions of the second generation of productive forces, it should be a middle-sized, two-headed waist-drum type culture-type labor
