LABOUR ECONOMICS HRM 201
The central theme of economic science relates to the optimum utilization of resources to
achieve maximum consumer satisfaction through the production processes.
There are four factors of production:
1. Land
2. Labour
3. Capital
4. Entrepreneurship
Of all the four factors of production labour is very special.
Some amount of labour is absolutely necessary to compliment other factors of
production.
Labour not only generates income but also consumes the output.
Labour economics may be desired as a body of systematic knowledge which deals with
the pricing, allocation and development.
Labour economics analyses and seeks to understand in detail labour market situations in a
manner that economics as a whole cannot afford to.
The term labour means any work whether mental or manual done by human beings for
some monetary consideration.
SCOPE OF LABOUR ECONOMICS (IMPORTANCE)
- Man power planning
- Labour organisation
- Labour relations and public policy
- Wage and employment theory
- Collective bargaining theory
- Practice of social security and welfare
Concepts of Labour
1. Commodity Labour – during this time labour was affected by law of supply and
demand.
2. Machinery concept – during this time labour was regarded as operating organisms
3. Goodwill concept – during this time there was a more liberal approach.

4. Humanitarian concept – during this time some basic rights were recognized
5. Citizenship phase – here workers or employees are recognized with a right to be
consulted
6. Concept of Industrial Democracy – here the employee and the employer consider
themselves as partners
Industrial Evolution Stages
1. Hunting and fishing stage – during this time there was no economic, political or
social system hence there were no labour problems.
2. Pastoral stage - this was marked by some economic acting leading to conflicts
among hard owners
3. Agricultural stage – this brought about the class systems of the have (s) and have-
nots
4. Handicraft stage – this marked the beginning of labour problems as merchants
accumulated wealth
5. Workshop stage – during this time there was production in large scale leading to
strains between employees and employers.
6. Modern factory system – this led to an exodus from country to town creating new
labour problems.
7. Industrial revolution – this began in England and brought an end to the closed
economy creating enumerable problems which have not been satisfactory solved.
Peculiarities of Labour as a Factor of Production (Features)
1. Labour cannot be stored
2. Labour cannot be separated from the labourer
3. The worker sales the efforts but retains the ownership
4. Bargaining power of labour is weak
5. Labour is not only a factor of production but also an end to production
6. Only labour can object to working conditions and disrupt production
7. Labour is not so mobile
8. Rapid adjustment to the supply of labour to its demand is not possible

9. Labour is a human factor and therefore not only economic but moral and social
consideration should be taken into account.
THE LAW OF VARIABLE PROPORTIONS/THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS
In production not all factors are fixed usually land is a fixed factor and the others are
variables.
If one input is variables and all other factors fixed, the firm’s production functions exhibit
the law of variable proportions.
As you increased the unit of the variable factors keeping other factors constant total
product will increase at a decreasing rate.
As more and more units of variable factor are used holding the quantities of the fixed
factor constant a point is reached beyond which the marginal product then the average
product and finally the total product will diminish.
i. Total Product (TP)
This is the maximum amount of output that can be produced from a given set of input
or the final goods and services produced from a given set of input.
ii. Average Product (AP)
This is a total output per unit input
AP = TP = out put L input
iii. Marginal Product (MP)
MP = Change in TP Change in L
Example:
a) 8 - 1 = 81 - 0
b) 20 – 8 = 12 2 – 1
c) 36 – 20 = 16 3 – 2

STAGES OF PRODUCTION
Stage One
Marginal Product is increasing due to increasing marginal product, total product and
average product also increased.
At this stage the cost of production decreases as output increases because firms enjoy
economies of scale or increasing returns to scale.
Stage Two
It is also called the stage of diminishing returns at this stage Total Product increases and
reaches maximum both Marginal Product and Average Product decreases but are still
positive. It is logical to continue producing at this stage
Stage Three
This is also known as negative return to scale the Total Product and Average Product
decrease. Marginal Product is negative it is illogical to produce at this stage.
Returns to Scale
IR – Increasing Return
CR – Constant Return
DR – Diminishing Return

NR – Negative Return
1. Increasing Return (IR) – occur when inputs are double output increases but more
than double
2. Constant Return (CR) – occurs when inputs are double output is also double
3. Decreasing Return (DR) – occurs when inputs are double output increases but less
than double
4. Negative Return (NR) – occurs when inputs are doubled output is negative
3 rd August 2011 DIVISION OF LABOUR/SPECIALIZATION
Definition
The splitting of tasks into various smaller units and entrusting each unit to particular
individual or groups of workers for execution depending on their areas of expertise skills
and experience. In this way a small part of the work is undertaken by one person and the
whole job is completed by different persons.
TYPES OF DIVISION OF LABOUR
I. Complicated / Process Division of Labour
This is where one job is subdivided into different smaller parts and each part is
given to a separate set of workers.
II. Occupational / Professional Division of Labour
This is where different people adapt different occupations
III. Geographical / Territorial / International Division of Labour
This where different geographical / region / countries specialize in the production of
different groups of services.
Advantages of Division of Labour
1. Promote Efficiency – this is because tasks are divided into specialized units and
assigned to individuals with specific skills those areas.
2. Reduced Supervision – workers are easily supervised since they have been assigned
specific tasks which they are directly accounted for.
3. Responsibility – workers develop a sense of responsibility towards their tasks.
5
![Page 6: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
4. Easy Management – Management of the organisation becomes easy because work
is divided into specialized task.
5. Specialization – it is highly increase by division of labour as a given individual
repeated does the task.
6. Increased Output – division of labour leads to increase in output since workers are
specialized in the task which they know best.
7. Reduction in Cost – division of labour promotes cost effectiveness since the
workers becomes efficient and thereby perform their given tasks in minimum cost.
8. Time Saving – division of labour reduces time wasting since workers know their
tasks and therefore perform their tasks in a shorter time period.
9. Employment Creation – when work is divided in different occupation there is a
chance that most people will get employment.
10. Increase in Skills – by reducing every work business to a single operation skills are
increased through repeated performance.
11. Less Fatigue – because of subdivision into smaller units.
12. It Encourages Team Work
13. It Promotes International Trade – through international trade each country is left
to specialize into goods and services that they produce best.
Disadvantages of division of labour
1. Monotony
2. De motivation
3. Over specialization – it may lead to unemployment.
4. Increased cost of production – people who are highly skilled may hold the producer
at ransom
5. Case of absenteeism
6. The case of minimum supervision – workers may take advantage of the minimum
supervision and make the whole process counter productive.
7. Increased fatigue
8. High degree of interdependence – if work is affected in one area or unit the whole
process is affected.

9. lack of identity
10. Reduces mobility of labour
Limits to Division of Labour
1. The extent of the market – if the market is small then there is no need for division
of labour.
2. The extent to which exchange and distribution networks are developed –
because division of labour is associated with large scale the exchange and
distribution network should be develop.
3. Size of the labour force – if there is only one worker then there is no need for
division of labour
4. Nature of goods and services – some goods by their own nature cannot be produced
by divisions of labour example gold, alarm, making of money.
EFFICIENCY OF LABOUR
This is the quantity and quality of any commodity produced by labour. If a worker
produces goods and services of greater quantity and superior quality then the worker will
be regarded to be more efficient and if a worker produces goods and services of lesser
quantity and inferior quality then the worker will be regarded to be less efficient.
An efficient worker is a great entrepreneur and national assets.
Efficiency is a powerful and effective instrument for economic growth and
development.
An efficient worker does not waste time or material and uses machinery with a lot
of care.
Efficient worker require less supervision, work more intelligent and show greater
initiative and sense of responsibility.
Efficiency leads to increase output at reduced cost which increases the competitive
strength of an industry.

1. Physical and Mental well being of the worker
2. Education and Training – it improves efficiency
3. Industrial Organisation – e.g. trade union, welfare etc.
4. Tools and Equipments – availability and quality
5. Efficiency of other factors of production – if the other factors of production are not
efficient then the others like labour will not be efficient.
6. Specialization – increasing efficiency
7. Working conditions – poor working condition will lead to inefficiency.
8. Wage level – low / poor, wages affects efficiency
9. Climates – when you have adverse or extreme weather will not be efficient.
10. Social and Cultural factors – some culture’s affect efficiency example religion
11. Political factors – during peace workers can be efficient during war workers can be
inefficient.
12. Working hours - during long hours and due to fatigue work become inefficient. Short
hours
13. De motivation

Mobility of Labour
This means movement of labour from one place to another or from one
house to another.
Types of Mobility of Labour
i. Geographical mobility – this refers to the geographical movement of
labour from one location to another.
ii. Occupational mobility – this is the movement of labour from one
professional / occupation to another.
iii. Horizontal mobility – movement of labour from one employment to
another employment in the same capacity.
iv. Vertical mobility – movement of labour from a lower grade to a senior
grade.

4. Lack of developed transport network
5. Family ties
6. Lack of accurate information
7. Man made barriers
8. Wars conflicts and regional animosity

PRODUCTIVITY
It means different things to different people some of the more commonly used definitions
include the following:
9
![Page 10: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Productivity is the relationship between output and input used to
create that output.
According to this definition high productivity means producing more with the
same amount of resources or achieving higher output in terms of volume and
quality for the same input
Productivity is therefore the efficient and effective use of resources
Productivity =Output
Input
2. Productivity is the relationship between results and time taken to
accomplish them.
According to this definition the less time it takes to achieve the intended results
the proactive the system is. Time is often a good denominator since its a universal
measurement and it is beyond human control.
3. Some people also view productivity as a more intense use of
resources
This definition has been criticize by many
The essence of product improvement is working more intelligently or smarter and
not harder
4. Productivity is also defined as a concept of the mind which is match to perfection.
It is assumed that workers who have experience are more productive.
IMPORTANCE OF PRODUCTIVITY IN ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
1. Improved productivity leads to economic growth
2. Productivity determines how competitive a company products are internationally
3. It’s a comparative tool for managers and economist since it compares production
with the resources used.
4. Productivity is used as a guide by employers
5. Through productivity a wide variety of goods and services are made available at
affordable prices
6. Higher income are enjoyed
7. Surplus wealth and value is created
10
![Page 11: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
8. Investment in social services such as education and health is made possible.
9. Foreign exchange generation
10. Inflation control – (demand pool inflation)
11. Employment generation / creation
PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT
- It can be measured on a national / industry basis / company
- It can also be measured for departments / one person
- Measurement of productivity involves an estimation for both output and input
- The major problem faced in this estimation is:
The nature
Availability
Reliability of data
There are two types of ratios that are used in productivity measurement.
1. Total Factor Productivity
TP = Total output Total input
In total factor productivity all the four factors of production are considered
2. Partial Factor Productivity
PFP = Total input Partial output
In partial factor productivity one of the factors of production is considered
In measuring productivity ratios whether TFP / PFP two approaches are generally
used:
a) Input – output approach
b) Value added approach
17 August 2011
A. Input output Approach
11
![Page 12: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is generally used in manufacturing and non service sectors.
According to this approach productivity is arrived at by dividing the volume of
output by the amount of input used in producing that output.
Productivity = Output Input
B. Value Added Approach
This is mainly used in the service sector.
In this approach the same method of comparing output with input still applies.
However since quantitative measurement of output in a service sector is difficult
value added approach is used.
The value added is the difference between turn over and the cost of intermediate
input.
WAYS TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
1. Organisational restructuring
2. Rationalization of the product of service range.
3. Introduction of bonus or incentives
4. Staff right sizing
5. Research and development
6. Automation and computerization
7. Product or process redesign
8. Conducting productivity audit
9. Staff training
LIMITATIONS TO PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT
i. In ability to understand what productivity rarely means
ii. The focus is on reducing input rather than increasing output.
iii. In ability to isolate the basic cause from the symptoms
iv. Technical issues such as automation and computerizations are over emphasized
while human issues are neglected.
v. There is no productivity measurement system in place.
vi. Unclear productivity improvement goals.
12

vii. Sharing of productivity gains among the various share holders is not properly
defined.
viii. Lack of productivity improvement skills and expertise
ix. In effective leadership and management for productivity improvement strategies.
x. Lack of ownership among the stake holders.
BOTTLENECKS / HINDRANCE / IMPEDIMENTS / OBSTACLES TO
PRODUCTIVITY IMPORVEMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
1. Shortage of capital due to low capital formation
2. High population growth rate.
3. Ineffective labour management practices
4. Low wages and inferior terms and conditions of employment
5. Low levels of education and training
6. Poor infrastructures
7. Political instability and civil wars
8. HIV AIDS and other diseases
9. Cultural factors and practices
10. Absence of a national integrated and institutional frame work for productivity
promotion measurements
11. Lack of knowledge on productivity measurements techniques and bench marking.
LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
This is the output per worker per given period of time
It is a measure that relates output to the labour resources used in producing that output.
It is also a measure of the efficiency and effectiveness with which labour is being utilized
in the production process.
Labour productivity tells us how many units of outputs we can obtain from a unit of
labour input.
If output per unit labour input increases then we can rightly say that labour productivity
has risen and if output per unit labour input decreases then we can rightly say that labour
productivity has reduced.
Labour Productivity = Total output Total input

Total man- days /man-hours
= Total output Wage bill
= Total output No of workers
DETERMINANTS OF LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
1. Salaries and wages – adequate , poor (key words)
2. Staff motivation – motivated and demotivated
3. Level of skills – highly skilled workers / less skilled workers
4. Computerization – availability of the system makes workers to be more efficient.
5. Professionalism – people who are professional in their work are more productive
than those who are not.
6. Specialization
7. Job rotation
8. Availability of resources
9. Training , coordination
10. Working conditions – poor , conducive
11. Attitude and mind set
12. Hours of work
13. Absenteeism
14. Health and physical well being
15. Effective communication
16. Social and cultural factors

LABOUR MARKET STRUCTURES
There are basically to broad labour market structures
1. Perfect
2. Imperfect
1. Perfect Market – competitive conditions are assumed to exist.
Features of Perfect Labour Markets

i. Large number of buyers and sellers
ii. Homogeneity of labour
iii. Free entry and exit of firm in the market
iv. Profit maximization is the only goal being pursued by all employers
v. There is no government regulation or intervention
vi. Perfect mobility of labour exist
vii. Perfect knowledge about market conditions
2. Imperfect Market
i. Small number of buyers and sellers
ii. Heterogeneity of labour
iii. Limited entry and exit of firm in the market
iv. Profit maximization is not the only goal being pursued by all employers
v. There is government regulation or intervention
vi. Imperfect mobility of labour exist
vii. Imperfect knowledge about market conditions
Demand for Labour
It refers to the quantity of labour that firms are willing and able to employ at a given
period of time.
It is concerned with the level of employment desired by business firms during a given
period of time.
Labour is demanded by firms because it is one of the factors of production.
Determinants of Demand for Labour
1. Cost of labour or the wage rate – the higher the cost the lower the demand.
2. Productivity of labour force – the higher the demand for labour the lower the rate of
production.
3. Level of technology - with improved technology will use more machine than labour
4. State of the economy – when the economy is stable the demand is higher with
inflation the demand is low
5. The price of the product – if the price of product is high then the demand will also be
high
15
![Page 16: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
6. Demand for the product of labour – if the demand for the product increases demand
for labour also increases
7. Government policy – capital intensive if the government uses then the demand for
labour will be high. labour intensive
8. Labour efficiency
9. Number of employers – when there are more employers the demand for labour
decreases.
10. Supply of other factors – when the supply is high the demand for labour is high
Elasticity of Demand for Labour
It means responsiveness of quantity of labour demanded to change in wage rate
It is a measure of the extent to which the quantity demanded for labour response to
changes in one of the influencing factors.
Determinants of Labour
1. The share of labour in total cost
The higher the proportion of total cost accounted for by labour the higher will be
the elasticity of demand, if the wage bill accounts for high proportion of total
cost an increase in the wage rate will lead to a substantial right in total cost. As a
result firms will reduce production and hire few workers.
2. Demand for the final product
The higher the price elasticity demand for final production will be the decline in
output associated with a given input in price and the greater the loss of
employment.
3. The supply of other factor
Employers’ attempts to substitute other factors of production for labour when
wage rate rises may result in the prices of such factors rising substantially
consequently making firms hope for substitution.
4. Availability of substitute / substitutability of labour
If labour can easily be substituted then elasticity for demand for labour is high so
when it is not easily substituted elasticity for demand is low.
Supply of labour
16
![Page 17: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The labour supply refers to the total number of hours that labour is willing and able to
supply at a given wage rate.
It can also be defined as the number of workers willing and able to work in a given
occupation or industry for a given wage rate.
Determinants of labour supply
1. Average number of hours – the longer the hours the higher the supply
2. Participation rate – it refers to the number of person to the labour force and not just
the number of person’s employed.
The labour force participation depends on gender, age, religion, culture etc.
3. Population growth – the higher the population the higher the supply
4. Other wage rates – when wages decrease in other occupation supply of labour also
decreases.

TRADE UNIONS AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
Different countries use the term trade union differently but generally it refers to
association employees’ organisation employers association.
A trade union or labour union is a continuous association of workers for the purpose of
maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment.
It can also be defined as a body of workers organized into a voluntary association or
union to further their mutual interest respect to wages hours of work, working conditions
and other matters of interest to the workers.
EFFECTS OF INTRODUCING TRADE UNION IN A PERFECT LABOUR MARKET
1. They ensure good health and safety at work
2. They enable the worker to get economic security
3. They restrain management from taking any action which is irrational, illogical,
discriminatory or prejudicial.
4. They act as channel of workers to air grievances and ideas
5. They secure protection during emergency
6. They promote cordial relationship
7. They provide a chance to get employment
17
![Page 18: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Conditions under Which Trade Unions Can Raise Wages and Terms and
Conditions in A Perfect Labour Market
1. By ensuring that the workers are paid in line with there marginal productivity
2. By improving the productivity of workers through there welfare activities
3. By restricting the supply of labour
4. By raising the standard wage rate
5. By studying market conditions and advising appropriately both parties
FACTORS DETERMINING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRADE UNION
1. Availability of funds
2. Efficient management of the unions by competent individuals
3. Support from the union members
4. United workforce
5. Lack of interference from political figures
6. Support from the government and employer
7. Clear objectives
8. Sound internal organisation
IMPACT OF TRADE UNIONS ON ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
1. Trade unions resist any attempts by firms to reduce wages.
2. Trade unions enable workers to get economic security
3. They help to increase the productivity of workers through their welfare activities
4. They help in providing employments
5. They also help in small saving schemes
NEGATIVE OF TRADE UNION ON ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
1. They can cause inflation
2. They also reduce production when they call for strikes
3. They can also cause unemployment when they ask for higher wages more than the
employers can afford.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

![Page 19: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
There are negotiations between employers and workers about working conditions and
terms of employments.
Conditions Necessary / Essential / Requirements / Pre Requisite / Pre
Requirement for the Success of Collective Bargaining
1. Clear objectives
2. Spirit of give and take
3. Unreasonable demand should be avoided
4. Parties should rely on facts and figures to support their views.
5. Strong union leadership
6. Progressive management – the managers should be supportive
7. The agreement should be embodied in a document
8. Incase of an agreement the agreement should be honoured
IMPORTANCE OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
1. Effecting social change
2. Establishing peace between the two parties
3. Promoting good relationship
4. Opens of channel of communication
5. Promotes a sense of job security
6. Creates a peaceful industrial climate nationally which increases economic and social
development.
FORMS OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
1. Single employer bargaining – this is where the problem is unique
2. Multiple employers bargaining – this means there is a common problem.

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
19
![Page 20: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Employment means effective utilization of resources in the production process.
TERMINOLOGIES USED IN:
1. Labour force
These are all members of a country’s population who are physically fit, mentally
alert and able to work.
According to International Labour Organisation (ILO) the age ranges from 16 – 64
years in Kenya its 18 – 64yrs.
The size of active labour force however depends on customs, traditions, religions,
beliefs, education and training.
2. Labour force participation rate
This is the proportion of population which is in work or seeking for a job. It’s the
proportion of a country’s population that is in wage employment, self employment
or unemployed but is actively looking for work.
It’s influenced by the availability of jobs, wage rates, performance of the economy,
levels of education and training, culture, attitude etc.
3. Full employment
In ordinary usage it means that situation when all those persons who are willing and
able to work are fully employed however in strict economic terms it means, that
situation when there is no demand deficiency and unemployment. This will mean
demand = supply.
4. Search period
This is the period during which unemployed individuals look for jobs.
It can either take too long for a person to get a job or just a short time. Such period is
determined by the wage rate, availability of jobs, level of education and training,
willingness of the unemployed to take up jobs, mobility of labour, information flow
etc.
THEORY OF EMPLOYMENT
1. Classical Theory / Traditional Free Market

![Page 21: Labour Economics Notes HRM 201](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012316/547dacbcb4af9f78668b45be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
It’s based on wages and employment.
According to this theory wages and employment are determined by the market forces
of demand and supply.
The theory states that labour is demanded so long as marginal product is greater than
wage rate.
It also considers that workers are ready to work so long as wage rates are high. The
classical were also of the opinion that wages should be reduced to increase
employment.
LIMITATIONS OF THE THEORY
i. The theory assumes that wages are flexible which is not the case wages are only
flexible when being adjusted upwards but sticky downwards.
ii. Many people in developing countries are willing to work at less than market wage
rate because of unemployment and poverty.
iii. The theory recommends a wage cut to cheat employment which does not
automatically lead to increased demand of labour.
iv. It assumes that a fully employment condition can be attained which is not realistic.
v. It’s based on competitive market situation which is not attainable in the real world.
2. Keynesian theory of income and employment
According to Keynesian employment is a function of the national income.
The higher the national income the higher employment and vice versa
National income depends on natural resources, quality and efficiency of labour and
other factor inputs such as technology and capital.
Keynesian also states that effective demand determines the level of employment.
Employment is further boosted by savings and investment.

i. The theory assumes that firms can respond quickly and effectively to increased
demand by expanding outputs and hence employment.
In developing counties the major bottleneck to increase output is not insufficient
demand by structural and institutional constrains on the supply side e.g. shortage of
capital, raw materials and deficiencies in management of human resources
combined with poorly functioning and inefficiently organized commodity and
labour markets.

UNEMPLOYMENT
It means that situation when people who are ready and able to work at the prevailing
wage rate and other terms and conditions of employment are not able to secure a job.
It is a major social economic and political problem for all countries.
Developing countries experience it more than the developed.
TYPES OF UNEMPLOYMENT
1. Frictional Unemployment - This is caused by labour turnover
2. Structural Unemployment - This is caused by structural changes in the economy
3. Seasonal Unemployment - This usually happens in the agricultural and tourism sector
which are affected by the weather and season.
4. Cyclical / Demand deficient / Keynesian Unemployment - This occurs when there is
no demand for goods and services leading to closure of factories.
5. Disguised / Hidden Unemployment – This occurs when there is no sufficient work to
effectively occupy a given number of workers.
In this case even if some workers are withdrawn work will not be affected.
CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT
1. Shortage of corporate factors of production – land and capital
2. Use of inappropriate technology – there are two methods of production.
(Labour intensive/ capital intensive)
3. Distortion of factor of production prices (rewards) – when the rewards are fixed the
minimum prices

4. Rapid population growth / High population – it should grow as the same as job
creation.
5. Nature of education system.
6. Seasonality in production structure.
7. Limited product market – the products have no market, there is no demand for
Kenyan market
8. Casualisation of employment
9. Presence of expatriates
10. Mobility of labour – like the rural urban migration also known as urban
unemployment.
MEASURES TO CONTROL UNEMPLOYMENT
1. The government can avail loans
2. Labour intensive the government can use machine
3. Fixing of the wages all the three parties can be involved
4. Should have education that is appropriate to your country.
5. Can go to manufacture instead of relying on agriculture
6. Deny work permits or close boarders
7. Decentralization
8. Mismanagement of resources
