That's not an answer to the question that Walter asked, Rakesh. As I can recall, the expression "superexploitation" is nowhere found in Marx. So when and who originated the term? The wage can rise above or fall below the value of labor power. This does not mean, though, that workers who are paid below the value of labor power are superexploited. If one follows that line of reasoning then workers paid wages above the value of labor could be said to be *UNDER*(sub, mini) exploited! Jerry
