How would an increase in demand for the final product shift the demand curve for labour?

1
How is the equilibrium wage rate determined in a labour market?
Model answer
The equilibrium wage rate is determined at the point where the demand for labour equals the supply of labour.
2
How would an increase in demand for the final product shift the demand curve for labour?
Model answer
It would shift the demand curve for labour to the right, as firms need more workers to produce the additional output demanded.
3
How do changes in labour productivity shift the demand curve for labour?
Model answer
An increase in labour productivity raises the marginal revenue product of labour, shifting the demand curve for labour to the right.
4
How do changes in the price of substitute or complementary factors shift the demand curve for labour?
Model answer
If a substitute factor (e.g. machinery) becomes cheaper, demand for labour may fall (leftward shift); if a complementary factor becomes cheaper, demand for labour may rise (rightward shift).
5
How do changes in population size shift the supply curve of labour?
Model answer
An increase in population size expands the potential workforce, shifting the supply curve of labour to the right.
6
How do changes in participation rates shift the supply curve of labour?
Model answer
Higher participation rates mean more people of working age are entering the labour force, shifting the supply curve to the right.
