**Plan**

- **Paragraph 1**
  - **Argument: one microeconomic factor that affects labour shortages is occupational mobility of labour; training schemes**
  - **Diagram: positive externalities, low labour supply diagram**
  - **Evaluation: depends on government intervention e.g. training schemes, and other factors e.g. geographical mobility of labour**
- **Paragraph 2**
  - **Argument: one macroeconomic cause for labour shortages could be poor incentives for skilled labour e.g. high income taxes**
  - **Diagram: low LRAS**
