Changes in market wages cause a movement along the labour supply curve, adjusting employment levels for certain wages; whereas shifts of the curve will change employment levels at any given wages. Shifts are caused by: changes inthe demongraphic: which can affect supply of labour of certain age groups, the low bitrth rate of the 70s has decreased tge supply of young labour in the 90s, atany given wage. sectoral changes: the service industry and low-pay sectors employ increasingly high proportions of young people. The increasing emphais on skill attainment means that young people are unlikly to be demand in high-level jobs, who offer them uncompetitive wages, hence more will be attracted tothe sector where the respective demand is higher. Sectoral shifts can shift supply curve.
