Labor promotes the emergence and continuous development of occupation, and occupation promotes the gradual evolution of labor; Labor gave birth to vocational education and promoted its development, which in turn promoted the improvement of labor efficiency and quality; The coexistence of vocational education and labor education is both their own needs and can promote each other, which has natural inevitability and natural superiority.

20 19,1June, the "Implementation Plan of National Vocational Education Reform" issued by the State Council put forward new ideas of vocational education in the new period. In March 2020, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Colleges, Universities and Primary Schools in the New Period, which put forward new requirements for labor education in the new period. Compared with general education, the integration of vocational education and labor education has inherent inevitability and natural superiority, and they are closely related.

First, the relationship between labor and occupation

Occupation is born of labor, and there is no occupation without labor; The emergence and development of occupation in turn promoted the gradual evolution of labor.

(1) Labor promotes the emergence and continuous development of occupations.

In primitive society, labor productivity is low, there is no so-called social division of labor, only accidental or temporary natural division of labor. Tribal leaders carry out accidental division of labor according to the working conditions or natural endowments of their members: the strong hunt, the weak pick, the adults cultivate, the minors store and store, and so on.

There hasn't been a group of people who engage in a special job regularly, and there hasn't been a real career. After entering the slave society, the development of productive forces promoted the first social division of labor in human history. Handicraft industry is separated from agriculture. Some people specialize in agriculture, others specialize in handicrafts. People have to choose a form of labor and engage in a special job as a means of making a living, which leads to the emergence of occupation. Occupation is social labor in which people participate in social division of labor, use specialized knowledge and skills, create wealth for society and get reasonable remuneration as their main source of life.

With the development of productive forces, the second and third great division of labor in human society has appeared one after another, and the professional population has been increasing. After entering the industrial revolution, the mechanization, electrification and automation of production have changed the economic structure and industrial structure, the social division of labor has become increasingly fine, the degree of specialization of labor has become higher and higher, and the speed of job replacement has become faster and faster.

After entering the new century, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and new forms of social labor emerge one after another, which greatly promotes the rebirth and subdivision of occupations, and emerging occupations appear constantly. It can be seen that the emergence and development of occupation is the result of productivity progress and social division of labor.
