  2. Labour supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_supply

    If the substitution effect is stronger than the income effect then the labour supply slopes upward. If, beyond a certain wage rate, the income effect is stronger than the substitution effect, then the labour supply curve bends backward. Individual labor supply curves can be aggregated to derive the total labour supply of an economy. [1]

  3. Backward bending supply curve of labour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_bending_supply...

    The labour supply curve shows how changes in real wage rates might affect the number of hours worked by employees.. In economics, a backward-bending supply curve of labour, or backward-bending labour supply curve, is a graphical device showing a situation in which as real (inflation-corrected) wages increase beyond a certain level, people will substitute time previously devoted for paid work ...

  4. Labour economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_economics

    If the substitution effect is greater than the income effect, an individual's supply of labour services will increase as the wage rate rises, which is represented by a positive slope in the labour supply curve (as at point E in the adjacent diagram, which exhibits a positive wage elasticity). This positive relationship is increasing until point ...

    These physicians and surgeons variously provide care across the whole spectrum of normal and abnormal births and pathological labour conditions. Categorically specialised obstetricians are qualified surgeons, so they can undertake surgical procedures relating to childbirth. Some family practitioners or general practitioners also perform ...

  6. Elasticity of labor supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_of_labor_supply

    If the elasticity is higher than 1, then the supply of labor is "elastic", meaning that a small change in wages causes a large change in labor supply. If the elasticity is less than 1, then the supply of labor is "inelastic". Generally, the elasticity of labor supply varies by occupation and the time frame being considered. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partogram

    Partograph. A partogram or partograph is a composite graphical record of key data (maternal and fetal) during labour entered against time on a single sheet of paper. Relevant measurements might include statistics such as cervical dilation, fetal heart rate, duration of labour and vital signs.

  9. Isocost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocost

    An isocost line is a curve which shows various combinations of inputs that cost the same total amount . For the two production inputs labour and capital, with fixed unit costs of the inputs, the isocost curve is a straight line . The isocost line is always used to determine the optimal production combined with the isoquant line .
