LABOR-LEISURE TRADEOFF: The perpetual tradeoff faced by human beings between the amount of time spent engaged in wage-paying productive work and satisfaction-generating leisure activities.

However, the backward-bending labor supply curve results when a higher wage actually entices people to work less and to "consume" more leisure time.
