Labour Force Participation Rate
LFPR the fraction of the eligible population that
participates in the labour force LFPR=LF/POP
LF (Labour Force) individuals in the eligible population who
participate in labour market activities either employed or unemployed

Unemployment To be considered unemployed, a
person must be in one of the following three categories:
1. Without work but has made specific efforts to find a job within the previous four weeks
2. Waiting to be called back to a job from which he or she has been laid off
3. Waiting to start a new job within four weeks

Chapter 2-24
Effect of Non-labour Income on Hours of Work in nonlabour income results in a parallel
shift outward of the budget constraint normal good-if leisure is a normal good more
will be consumed resulting in less work hours inferior good- if leisure is an inferior good less
will be consumed and more work hours are spent
![Page 25: Chapter 2-1 Chapter Two Labour Supply Chapter 2-2 Chapter 2© 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.2 Learning Objectives Labour Market Attachment Labour Force](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649c715503460f949224ca/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Chapter 2-25
Change in Wage Rate
Two effects Income effect
the worker has more income to buy more goods including leisure (reduces work hours).
The effect is positive on leisure if leisure is normal, I.e., dL/dv>0.
Substitution effect individual may work more because the returns are greater
substituting away from leisure it is negative, I.e., dL/dw<0 (where d represents “change”)
![Page 26: Chapter 2-1 Chapter Two Labour Supply Chapter 2-2 Chapter 2© 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.2 Learning Objectives Labour Market Attachment Labour Force](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649c715503460f949224ca/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Chapter 2-27
Effect of Wage Increase on Participation
Both substitution effect and income effect If income effect dominates, hours of work
may decline (not withdraw )For a nonparticipant an W may leave the
equilibrium unchanged or induce the individual to participate
Other institutional constraints such as fix working hours may affect the result
![Page 28: Chapter 2-1 Chapter Two Labour Supply Chapter 2-2 Chapter 2© 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.2 Learning Objectives Labour Market Attachment Labour Force](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649c715503460f949224ca/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Chapter 2-28
Effects of an Increase in Nonlabour Income on Participation
Opposite to wage increasePure income effectMay cause participants to leave the
labour force (which occurs when nonlabour income is sufficiently high)
Examples include transfer payments from government (incentives are reduced)
![Page 29: Chapter 2-1 Chapter Two Labour Supply Chapter 2-2 Chapter 2© 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.2 Learning Objectives Labour Market Attachment Labour Force](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649c715503460f949224ca/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Chapter 2-29
Individual Supply CurveSubstitution effect > income effect
wage leads to labour suppliedAs wages continue to
there is a point where substitution effect and income effect offset each other
Supply curve bends backward when income effect > substitution effect

Chapter 2-30
Elasticity of Labour Supply
Responsiveness of labour supply to changes in the wage rate
Uncompensated elasticity % change in labour supply from a 1% increase in wage
(indeterminate) Income elasticity
% change in labor supply from a 1% increase in nonlabour income (negative)
Compensated elasticity % increase in labour supply from a 1% increase in wage
after compensating for increased income (positive)

Moonlighting, Overtime, Flexible Work HoursWhy do some people moonlight at a
second job at a wage less than their market wage on their first job?
Why do some people require an overtime premium to work more?
