Definition
劳务 (láo wù) means 'labor services' — paying for human work as a service, common in formal/economics contexts (e.g., 劳务输出 'labor export'). Unlike 劳动 (láo dòng 'work/labor'), which is the general act of working, 劳务 focuses on work traded as a commodity. Compared to 业务 (yè wù 'business/services'), 劳务 specifically refers to manual or human labor services.
