INSTITUITIONAL & SOCIAL CONSTRAINTS • Labour markets like other markets will tend to return to equilibrium’ • However, this does not happen because of barriers put in the Market place. • These barriers could be either placed by GOVERNMENT regulations like: • Minimum Wages or 2) Regulations regarding workplace safety 3) LABOUR UNIONS: They tend to pressure the wages to remain at higher levels. These wages are known as ‘STICKYWAGES’ as they are not allowed to fall below when the market forces require it to.
