Labour is also an essential input into production - in many cases it is the main input, especially in service sectors which are dominant sectors in the Caribbean. As such, labour markets define economic well-being: in competitive economies labour is paid its marginal product. This implies that only productive labour prospers as higher productivity implies higher earnings, which in turn allows for higher consumption and a higher standard of living. The vitality and health of labour markets, therefore, play a crucial role in attaining and maintaining economic prosperity. Labour markets not only need an adequate match of supply and demand of labour - in terms of quantity as well as quality, but also in terms of being based on an institutional framework conducive to its smooth functioning. This requires inter alia a setting that regulates contractual agreements and protects the rights of workers, whilst not distorting hiring and firing decisions of firms. 2014-01-02T23:14:47Z 2014-01-02T23:14:47Z 2005-09-26 Texto Documento Completo http://hdl.handle.net/11362/27581 LC/CAR/L.51 en application/pdf CARIBE CARIBBEAN REGION ECLAC
