Abstract: The concept of work knows a lot of different approaches in literature starting from religious and mythological roots and up to a range of modern definitions presenting the concept throughout its components or areas of application. Nowadays, work is carried out in thousands of ways as part of more and more complex socio-economic structures. However the world of work and derived concepts is not fully delineated. The given article presents significant contributions to highlight interdisciplinary explanations of work, focusing on the economic dimension. A series of definitions of the labor market are synthesized, and the similarities and differences between them are analyzed. It is important to approach the labor market in the light of factors of influence on it, namely socio-economic and demographic factors. The conclusions drawn from performing complex analysis of the term "work" refers primarily to the time evolution of the term and the connotations it has. Moreover, the results of the study show, once again, that due to work, as a physical or intellectual effort of man, economic terms have also introduced other terms, such as the "labor market", "labor force" all together contributing to facilitating in-depth analysis and studying the details of the studied economic phenomena.
