Greetings,
It's your friend @mondraye and today we will be talking about the labour market.
It is a great honor to be here once more in front of this wonderful community that encourages its members to develop business ideas.
A community with engaged and diligent moderators, one that is teeming with passionate entrepreneurs.
A layperson might define labor as an activity, or more accurately, as hard work or an activity requiring hard work.
For instance, when you hear that a pregnant lady is in labor, you can assume that she is undergoing some physically demanding procedures.
Or you hear that a man has been given a 5-year sentence that includes hard labor, which means that he will be required to work hard the entire time he is incarcerated.
While those definitions of labor are not incorrect in and of themselves, they can be viewed differently when applied to the business sector.
From an entrepreneur's perspective, labor can be defined as an element of production or human resource that can be bought or sold on the job market or exchanged for another part of production known as pay or salary.
This suggests that you are in a sense performing labor in the labor market as long as you have a service to provide or a useful resource that can be sold for money.
A region or location where labor activities—that is, buying and selling—take place might be described as a "labor market."
The labor market can be used to gauge the supply and demand for labor in an economy.
- Demand for labour
The entire amount of labor that buyers or employers are willing and able to purchase at a given price over a specific time period can be defined as the demand for labor.
The wage rate is another name for the price at which the demand for labor is being met.
- Supply for labour
The entire amount of labor that buyers or employers are willing and able to purchase at a given price over a specific time period can be defined as the demand for labor.
The wage rate is another name for the price at which the demand for labor is being met.
In my country, if you are 18 years old and have no physical abnormalities, you can be justified as a labor supply.
You can be considered a supplier of labor as long as you are providing a specific service to the economy.
Some of the factors affecting demand for Labour will be explained below:
- Goods and services
One key element influencing the demand for labor on the labor market is the demand for products and services.
It might have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the market.
When there is a great demand for products and services, businesses are compelled to raise wages to keep up with the market's urgent need for goods.
Additionally, when there is little demand for goods and services, firms won't feel the need to require more workers and may even think about letting some employees go.
The demand for labor is significantly impacted by the demand for goods and services.
- Technological advancement
The technological development of the region where the industry is based also has an impact on the demand for employees.
Additionally, consider how quickly the business adopts these technical advancements.
The demand for labor is impacted when a sector of the economy is technologically savvy and prefers to operate using machines and robots rather than sourcing labor from the labor market.
On the other side, a sector that lacks advanced technology will require the assistance of humans, increasing the demand for labor on the labor market.
- Other factors of production
The demand for labor on the labor market is significantly influenced by the existence of other production factors.
We are aware that there are four production factors: labor, capital, land, and entrepreneurs. Each of these factors affects the demand for labor.
For instance, a multitasking and diligent entrepreneur will have a lot of work to perform to enhance the quality and quantity of output, necessitating the need for more labor.
Because animals cannot work on those lands, there will be a greater need for labor as there are more working fields available.
When there is sufficient capital, it will be possible to demand more labor, and when there is insufficient capital, there will be relatively little labor in an industry.
- Price in the labour market
Another element that influences the demand for labor on the labor market is the cost of labor.
There are frequently available workers, but their asking rates are too exorbitant.
Additionally, when labor is expensive, there will be less demand for it.
Let's use the educational sector as an example. A school requires two teachers, one each for basic technology and physics.
However, if hiring a good instructor is expensive, the school may opt to hire just one person to teach both subjects.
- Number of industries
The number of industries that are available also has an impact on labor demand.
There will be a high demand for labor when there are many industrial establishments in an economy, and a low demand for labor when there are few available enterprises.
There are factors affecting supply of labour and some of them will be explained below.
- Recruitment age
Another element that impacts the labor market's supply of workers is the recruitment age.
Remember that the number of people who are able and willing to work determines the supply of labor; hence, there are many people who are able and wanting to work but are hampered by their age.
There are many strong people under the age of 18 who are capable and strong enough to enter the labor market, even though the standard age to enter it is 18.
The supply of labor is reduced as a result of this age restriction.
- Retirement age
A person should continue to engage in the process of producing things until they reach retirement age, at which point they are no longer eligible for employment.
The retirement age is the age at which people are too frail to work, and as such, it has an impact on the labor supply.
The typical retirement age for a laborer is 65, but in certain places it has been lowered to 60, which is having an adverse effect on the availability of labor.
The availability of labor will grow if the retirement age is raised to 70.
- Gender discrimination
Because it is thought that women are too weak to work, females are not permitted to participate in some societies' labor markets, which has significantly limited their supply of labor.
There will be more people to work on when women are accepted into the workforce, which will help to boost the supply of labor.
- Population
Another element that significantly impacts the labor market's supply of workers is population.
There will be plenty of businesses with open positions but no workers to fill them in an underpopulated society.
And this will result in a decrease in the labor supply.
On the other hand, if a country is overpopulated, there will be an abundance of eager and able laborers.
As a result, the labor market will see an increase in the supply of workers.
Therefore, it is accurate to state that populated nations like China, Nigeria, etc. have a greater supply of labor than other nations.
- Migration
The rate at which people leave and enter a country, or migration, has a significant impact on the labor supply.
Consider how the annual exodus of a significant number of people would affect the availability of labor in that nation.
Additionally, the recipient nation will have a greater supply of labor.
A country's labor force shrinks when more and more people leave, which in turn lowers the amount of labor that is available there.
A businessperson should have a solid understanding of the concept of labor and the labor market because it will have an impact on some of the financial decisions he makes in his lifetime.
