In perfectly competitive labor markets, the change in the number of people requiring hospital treatment:
- Represents a shift of the labor demand curve and moving along the labor supply curve.
- The decrease in equilibrium induces fewer people to work as doctors, fewer doctors are demanded at any given wages, and the decrease in equilibrium wages induces more hospital to hire doctors.
- Suppose that the popularity of medial drama TV shows increased the number of people who want to be doctors, this change represents a shift of the labor supply curve and movement along the labor demand curve.
- More people are willing to work as doctors at any given wages.
Please refer to the first graph.
When the number of people requiring hospital treatment decreases, the labor demand for doctors is decrease. This change will shift the labor demand curve to the left (D'), showing that fewer doctors are needed at an given wages (Q1, P1). The decrease on wages will drive fewer doctors willing to work. However hospital may see this situation as a chance to hire as much as possible doctors since their wages are lower.
Please refer to the second graph for the second scenario.
When the popularity of medical drama TV shows encourage more people to be a doctor, the labor supply curve will shift to the right, indicating the increase of the labor supply at any given wages. This shift will resulting on lower equilibrium wages (Q1, P1) than the initial equilibrium point, but with more labor quantity.
