Description

Comprehensively surveying the field of labour economics, this market-leading textbook has finally been adapted for the Canadian market. The authors develop the modern theory of labour market behaviour, summarize empirical evidence supporting or contradicting each hypothesis, and illustrate the usefulness of various theories for public policy analysis. In addition to the policy examples woven throughout the narrative, the text offers boxed examples that illustrate the application of theory in a nontraditional, business, historical, or cross-cultural context. By combining an already successful textbook with tailored content and data reflecting the domestic market, Ehrenberg is sure to become a leading textbook for any Canadian labour economics course.
