how the increase of a minimum wage which is above the equilibrium price will affect the labour market I believe

Re: What was the last question for short answers again?

Re: What was the last question for short answers again?

increase in the minimum wage (or any price floor) will result in an expansion of supply (as more people are willing to work due to the higher return) and a contraction of demand (labour is now more expensive and as such due to the law of demand the quantity demanded decreases) as these both represent movements ALONG their respective curves, this creates a gap between quantity supplied and quantity demanded. this excess supply/shortage of demand represents unemployment and hence the increasing of a minimum wage will lead to increased unemployment

I think that it was the increase of an already set minimum wage, however the effects of both are pretty much the same and you'd lose one mark max if that for saying the other one

haha then i probably read the question wrong, i thought establishment of a minimum wage higher than equlibrium

Re: For question 28 I didnt talk about microeconomic policies? comments

i talked about the limitations, conflcting objectives and short/term trade offs (macro and micro such as how macro brings economic growth forward and micro creates 'new' sustained growth in the long term).

i barely spoked about external stability and scratched the surface of distribution of income.
the question was way too broad. i wish they did specify more..
