The new service economy extends market relations to areas of life in which, previously, informal assistance and guidance within family units prevailed. To the extent that employment and income in the new services can be easily recorded, this change implies an increase in measurable economic wealth and output, because unpaid household services are ignored in GDP calculations.
新兴服务经济使市场关系延伸到此前主要靠家庭内部提供非正式协助及引导的生活领域。如果新型服务的雇佣关系和收入可以成功记录，这一改变就意味着可度量经济财富及产出的增加，因为GDP计算往往忽略不付费的家庭服务。
