Résumé anglais A method of calculating the degree of complexite of labour power Jean-Louis Cayatte The aim of this paper is to propose a method of calculating the degrees of com-plvxity of the diverse types of labour which exist at a given time in a given economy. The basic assumption is that the quantity of labour fi expended in traininn the future wage earner i is a part of the labour necessary for producing the cornmodities that the wage earner i will make ; fi comprises indirect labour (cmbodied in commodities used in training : schools, books, laboratories, etc.), external direct labour (teachers, librarians, etc.) and internal direct labour (expended by trainee). The definition and the measure of the degree of complexity qi of the labour power i is given by the formula qi = 1 + fi/xi where xi is the number of periods during which the trained worker uses his skill. The general model of simultaneous determination of qi's and iîs appears to be a spécial case of the values determination system, which endures that qi's are unique and positive.
