Demand side Policies to Reduce Unemployment• These are mainly measures to
boost total labour demand (reduce cyclical unemployment)– Lower interest rates (monetary policy)– A lower exchange rate (monetary policy) – Lower direct taxes (fiscal policy)– Government spending on major capital projects
(fiscal policy) – Employment subsidies (fiscal policy/ supply side)– Incentives to encourage flows of foreign investment
in the UK – (supply side policy)

AS EconomicsAS Economics
Consequences of falling unemployment The circular flow and the multiplier:
– Incomes flowing into households will grow– Falling unemployment adds to demand and
creates a positive multiplier effect on incomes, demand and output.
The balance of payments:– When incomes and spending are growing,
there is an increase in the demand for imports. Unless this is matched by a rise in export sales, the trade balance in goods and services will worsen
![Page 20: Money, money, money Conflicting objectives?. AS Economics Homework due in. 2 scenario unemployment Qs Greg Youth unemployment Extra HWK owing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b757f8b9ab0599b6bb6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
AS EconomicsAS Economics
Consequences of falling unemployment Government finances:
– With more people in work paying income tax, national insurance and value added tax, the government can expect a large rise in tax revenues and a reduction in social security benefits
Inflationary effects– Falling unemployment can also create a rise in
inflationary pressure – particularly when the economy moves close to operating at full capacity
– However this is not really a risk when the economy is coming out of recession, since aggregate supply is likely to be highly elastic because of a high level of spare capacity

Phillips Curve
In 1958 AW Phillips plotted 95 years of data of UK wage inflation against unemployment. It seemed to suggest a short-run trade-off between unemployment and inflation. The theory behind this was fairly straightforward. Falling unemployment might cause rising inflation and a fall in inflation might only be possible by allowing unemployment to rise.
HOW CAN GOVT INCREASE AD? (AD= C + I + G + (X-M))
If the Government wanted to reduce the unemployment rate, it could increase aggregate demand but, although this might temporarily increase employment, it could also have inflationary implications in both the labour and the product markets.
![Page 31: Money, money, money Conflicting objectives?. AS Economics Homework due in. 2 scenario unemployment Qs Greg Youth unemployment Extra HWK owing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b757f8b9ab0599b6bb6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
AS EconomicsAS Economics
Phillips Curve – Macro Trade off
The opposite is true when unemployment is high- a large pool of surplus labour will mean that workers are willing to work for lower wages to guarantee themselves a job, and so firms, facing lower wage costs, can reduce price increases in their goods/services.
The explanation offered by Phillips was that when unemployment levels are low in an economy there will be a shortage of labour available for firms to employ. This will bid up wage prices, and firms will be forced to pass on these higher costs to consumers to maintain profit margins. Thus, price levels increase, and inflation rates rise.
