| | Labour economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many economists have thought that, in the absence of laws or organizations such as unions or large multinational corporations, labour markets can be close to perfectly competitive in the economic sense — that is, there are many workers and employers both having perfect information about each other and there are no transaction costs. | | | This is because in competitive markets price is equal to marginal revenue, and marginal revenue product is defined as the marginal physical product times the marginal revenue from the output (MRP = MPP * MR). | | | Labour economics looks at the suppliers of labour services (workers), the demanders of labour services (employers), and attempts to understand the resulting pattern of wages, employment, and income. |

| | ILO - Ageing and labour markets for older workers - Alexander Samorodov |
| | It is in the developed market economies, in particular, with their advanced systems of social security and protection, that demographic problems give rise to economic issues as public finances are stretched to support the elderly. | | | The interests of older workers in labour markets should be treated on an equal basis with those of other disadvantaged groups, such as young workers, newcomers to the labour market, women, or workers with disabilities. | | | Discussion of this issue is relevant to the present paper to the extent that labour market implications are involved. |

| | Both Beaverstock (1996) and Hanlon (1994; 1999) agree that the expansion in the total global professional labour markets for large accounting firms was the key to their success in globalisation during the latter quarter of the Twentieth Century. | | | In all cases, the global professional labour markets of the major pan-regional offices within these firms, were characterised by managing-, senior- and junior- partners, and post-qualified staff and trainees of many nationalities. | | | Global professional labour markets are produced within the transnational firm as an organisational strategy to deliver transnational knowledge management. |

| | The labour share of income rose sharply in the early 1990s when profits fell during the recession and payroll taxes rose. | | | For example, there were reforms to labour market institutions such as changes to the Unemployment Insurance program. | | | When the share of labour income in GDP is unchanged, we would expect growth in labour income to be close to the projected growth in nominal GDP. |

| | Flexible Labour Markets |
| | There is no consensus on this answer, some economists believe that the labour market flexibility has led to an increase in wage inequality but other analysts argue that continued low levels of unemployment and inflation are testimony to a better performance. | | | By ensuring that firms do not have to pay high social security payments and national insurance contributions, and are not excessively penalized for dismissing workers during a downturn or recession, the UK has encouraged a flexible labour market. | | | This can be seen in the expansion of performance related pay (where some part of the total pay (remuneration) package is linked to productivity, company profits or other indicators of performance. |

| | In Japan, labour income was boosted by substantial bonuses paid from buoyant corporate profits. | | | In some instances, however, the deterioration has been rather clear-cut; in the United States, for example, corporate profits (excluding the inventory valuation adjustment, and when compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding year) have been declining since the second quarter of 1989. | | | Corporate profits appear to have come under mild downward pressure as unit labour costs have been rising slightly faster than output prices in the business sector since mid-1989. |
