The Labour Market

12 min read

Demand and supply of labour, wage determination, and factors affecting wages including trade unions and the minimum wage.

Demand and supply of labour

  • Demand for labour is derived from demand for the product; it depends on wage rate, labour productivity and the price of the good.
  • Supply of labour depends on the wage, population, qualifications and non-monetary benefits.

The equilibrium wage is where labour demand = labour supply.
