Course Descriptions

This course aims to provide an understanding of the labour market in an economy. It seeks to describe, theorise, and analyse the behaviour of the labour market. Issues of investment in human capital (education and on-the-job training), wage differentials and discrimination are discussed. Applications of concepts and theories in the area of human resources and personnel economics (labour turnover, labour mobility and incentive pay schemes) are also presented. To enhance the understanding and the application of labour economics theories, training on data analysis and knowledge of analytical tools are provided. This course will provide the theoretical and technical training in economics helpful for students aspiring for positions in business, government, or other social organisations.
