LABOR FORCE: The total number of people willing and able to exert mental and/or physical efforts in productive activities. In principle, this is everyone 16 years of age and over who is willing and able to work. In practice, it includes the sum of anyone over 16 years who is employed or unemployed but actively seeking a job. The labor force is essentially a more technical term for the economy's labor supply.

|
Page: 21 of 24
|
In this unit, you should have learned about:- How and why factor demand determinants shift the factor demand curve.
- The three main factor demand determinants -- product demand, factor productivity, and other prices.
- That an increase in factor demand is a rightward shift of the factor demand curve and that a decrease in factor demand is a leftward shift of the factor demand curve.
- How the product demand determinant is reflected by the product price and how changes in product price cause the factor demand curve to shift.
- How the factor productivity determinant is includes changes in technology and education and is reflected by marginal physical product and how changes in factor productivity cause the factor demand curve to shift.
- How the other prices determinant captures both substitute and complement relations between factors and how changes in other prices cause the factor demand curve to shift.

MARGINAL COST AND MARGINAL PRODUCT The U-shape of the marginal cost curve is closely related to the hump-shape of the marginal product curve. The increasing portion of the marginal product curve corresponds with the decreasing portion of the marginal cost curve. The decreasing portion of the marginal product curve corresponds with the increasing portion of the marginal cost curve. The peak of the marginal product curve corresponds with the minimum of the marginal cost curve.
