This module covers the core concepts of labour economics. There is a strong emphasis on empirical analysis and the usage of practical models of labour markets to analyse public policy. In this module, topics to be covered include labour supply and demand, wages and compensation, labour market policies, and inequality and discrimination in the labour market. Empirical examples will feature a range of countries, industries, and demographic groups to allow students to compare and contrast how labour markets function under different competitive environments and policy regimes.
