What is the size of the labor force and working-age population?
How many people are unemployed?

Before June 2020, the labor market in Pakistan was at equilibrium with an equilibrium wage (WE) of Rs. 15,000 and equilibrium quantity of labor (LE) 10 million. In the last week of June, 2020, government of Pakistan imposed a minimum wage Act raising the minimum wage to Rs. 20,000. Using a graph, explain the effect of imposition of minimum wage on unemployment in labor market of Pakistan .
6. Aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the Phillips curve
In the year 2027, aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the imaginary country of Daisen-Oki are represented by the curves AD 2027 and AS on
the following graph. The price level is currently 102. The graph also shows two potential outcomes for 2028. The first possible aggregate demand
curve is given by the curve labeled ADA curve, resulting in the outcome given by point A. The second possible aggregate demand curve is given by
the curve labeled ADB, resulting in the outcome given by point B.

- How is the natural rate of unemployment Illustrated in an AD/AS model?arrow_forwardMark Lai, a student of agricultural science in the developing country Mikatra, notes that the demand for rice increased substantially over the last ten years. He attributes this to the substantial growth in population during this period. Although rice cultivation in Mikatra is still labor-intensive, Mark observes that the inflation-adjusted wages for farm workers in the rice industry have more or less remained constant during this period, even though the supply of rice increased. This was contrary to Mark's expectations as inflation in Mikatra during this period was not very high. Which of the following, if true, is most likely to explain this outcome? A.Rice and other cereals form a smaller proportion of the food budget of higher-income individuals. B.The government of another major rice-producing country, Langun, subsidizes its rice farmers to keep its prices competitive in the global market.
