Study Notes

Labour Economics

Labour economics seeks to understand the functioning and outcomes of labour markets, including the behaviour of workers, employers, and governments.

Labour economics must account for social, cultural, and political variables because they influence the behaviour of labour market participants, affecting labour supply and demand, and ultimately, wages, employment, and income.

Labour Market Functioning

Labour markets function through the interaction of labour demand and supply, with employers competing for workers and workers competing for jobs.

Patterns of Wages, Employment, and Income

Patterns of wages, employment, and income exist in labour markets due to various factors, including differences in human capital, social and cultural norms, and institutional and political frameworks.

Uniqueness of Labour as a Factor of Production

Labour is unique as a factor of production because it is provided by humans, who have their own preferences, motivations, and limitations, unlike other factors of production, such as capital and natural resources.
