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 
    • Evaluation: trade offs as reducing national debt could be a higher priority
