Determination of equilibrium level of Income ,Output and Employment

Determination of equilibrium level of Income ,Output and Employment


In an economy Equilibrium level of Income, output and Employment is determined where Aggregate Supply in the Economy is equal to aggregate demand.

Aggregate supply refers to total production of goods and services in the economy. It is represented by C+S.

Aggregate Demand refers to the sum of total expenditure on goods and services in the economy. It is represented by C+I+G+(X-M) in four sector economy. But in two sector economy it is just C+I.

C=Autonomous consumption +MPC(Y)
Suppose autonomous consumption( consumption at zero level of Income) is 60 and MPC is 0.8 then consumtion at income level of 500 is 460.
C= 60+0.8 X500
C curve is straight line (as MPC is constant).
 It starts from Y axis due to autonomous consumption.
 And it is upward slopping  (Income increases consumption also increases).
 Now Investment is autonomous mean it does not depend on level of Income. It is expected that the firms will invest atleast a level which is equal to previous level. Investment curve is parellel to X axis.
So AD is C+I. Hence AD curve is parallel to curve and posses same properties of C.

Output, Income is measured at X axis. Aggregate Demand is measured at Y axis. Now how to compare these two.
we Use 45 degree line. It is the property of 45 degree line that both the axis from any point on this line are at equal distance. so Income or output or Aggregate Supply is represented by 45 degree line.

Now compare AS and AD.
 The level of output where AS and AD are equal is equilibrium level of output. it means economy is producing a level of output equals to aggregate demand in the economy.

        JOBLESS GROWTH  Jobless growth, also known as jobless recovery, occurs when an economy experiences economic growth without a proportional increase in employment opportunities. This phenomenon can have several impacts on individuals, society, and the economy as a whole: 1.     Unemployment: The most direct impact of jobless growth is an increase in unemployment rates. Despite economic expansion, businesses may not be creating enough jobs to absorb the growing labor force, leading to higher levels of unemployment. 2.     Income Inequality: Jobless growth can contribute to income inequality. Those who benefit from economic growth, such as business owners or skilled workers in growing sectors, may experience increased income, while unemployed or underemployed individuals may face declining or stagnant incomes. 3.     Social Unrest: High levels of unemployment and income inequality can lead to social u...

TYPES OF UNEMPOLYMENT

Different Types of Unemployment in India )           Structural Unemployment: – This type unemployment is associated with economic structure of the country. When demand for labour falls short to supply of labour due to rapidly growing population and their immobility, the problem of unemployment appears in the economy. Besides, due to growing population, rate of capital formation falls down which again limits the employment opportunities, this type of structural unemployment is basically related to this category of unemployment. 2)          Under-Employment :- Those labourers are under-employment who obtain work for but their efficiency and capability are not utilized at their optimum and as a result they contribute in the production upto a limited level. A country having this type of unemployment fails to exploit the efficiency of their labourers. 3) ...
