Labour Economics

In the Six Years Since the Appearance of the First Edition of This Book, Labour Economics Has Become a More Firmly Entrenched Subject on the Curriculum. Previously Regarded As a Sub-Section Within Industrial Economics, There Are Now Very Few Universities That Do Not Devote a Course to It in Its Own Right.The Focus of Topics Covered Within the Text Has Also Altered - the Notion of Human Capital Has Now Become Much More Central and Microeconomic Considerations Are Now As Widely Studied As Macroeconomic Phenomena. This Second Edition Addresses These Changes and Gives Greater Centrality to Microeconomics to Reflect Current Course Teaching. the Book Adopts an International Focus and Covers Important Themes Such As Labour Demand and Supply; Wage Determination and Unions; Personnel Economics; Unemployment; and Globalization. With Case Studies, End of Chapter Questions and Further Reading Sections, This New Edition Should Prove Popular With Students of Labour Economics.
