Is it Worth Working ? Factors Affecting Labour Supply
Edited by Alex Bryson and Stephen McKay
When will individuals choose to supply their labour for a wage? How much will they supply? As human beings, potential suppliers may not be concerned solely with the 'income motive', but with other aspirations and needs - social and psychological - which may affect the type of work they may wish to do and how much of it. To answer these questions, academics from a variety of disciplines contribute chapters on why people choose one course of action over others:
