Unit Name: Labour Economics and Market Analysis

Description: Labour economics studies how labor markets work. Labor markets help determine our wealth, types of goods we can afford to consume, whom we associate with, where we go for vacation, which schools our children attend and even the types of persons who find us attractive. Therefore, we are all eager to learn how the labor market works. Further, our interest in labor markets arises not only from our personal involvement, but because many social policy issues concern the labor market experiences of particular groups of workers or various aspects of the employment relationship between workers and firms. In view of the above, this course has been designed for students who are particularly interested in understanding the labor market mechanism and functions. It can provide the basis for economic analysis in the field of industrial/employment relations and Human Resource management.
