4. Suppose that Okun's law can be described by the follOwIng ey Y-Y* — -3(и — и") Y* %3D Where u is the unemployment rate, u* is the natural rate of unemployment, Y is the GDP, and Y* is the potential GDP. Suppose that u = 5%. Calculate the GDP gap if u = 5.4%. Calculate the potential GDP if Y The job losing rate is 2.0%, and the job-finding rate is 45%. Find the unemployment rate in the next month, knowing that the labour force (LF) totals 1,000? Calculate the employment rate (e) and the total working-age population (15-64 Years), if the labour force participation rate (If) is equal to 76%. = 12,000

on January 1, 2019, South Africa's first-ever national minimum wage came into effect. The legislation stipulated a minimum national rate of R20 per hour, or R3500 per month, depending on the number of hours worked. Some economists warned that it may depress SA's already high unemployment rate further by making it more expensive to hire workers. Using your knowledge of basic economic theory, illustrate and explain with the aid of a graph why some economists might have given such a warning?
Okun's Law equation, y = a + bx + e, reflects the relationship between a country's growth rate (y) and unemployment rate change (x). The regression uses quarterly seasonally-adjusted data covering a 10-year period to estimate the Okun's Law equation coefficients, a and b.

The graph shows the aggregate demand for labor in a small country with a civilian population of 100,000 persons. The labor force participation rate in this country is only 30% and it does not depend on the level of real wage. Wages and prices are fully flexible downwards and upwards. Start from the base case. Suppose that due to changes in social norms, the participation rate of women in the labor force increases. As a result, the overall labor force participation rate increases to 50.00% Ceteris paribus, this event causes the equilibrium real wage to change to units.
