Analysis of national development using labour market model

Anotace: Active and efficient sectors of the economy play a pivotal role in the development process. Growth in different economic sectors shows the overall progress of the economy and the people’s quality of life and social welfare. Economic and social changes will be more tangible if these situations are manifested in labour and the reduction of the unemployment rate. The present study uses labour market analysis and economic growth during three censuses (1986 to 2011) to determine the development rate of the Khaf city. In particular, the study scientifically and systematically examines the trends related to employment changes, lack of jobs analysis, receiving and sending immigrants, and the causal relationship between immigration and lack of jobs. The study utilises descriptive-analytical research in which data was gathered from formal and bureau resources. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, descriptive and inferential statistics methods. Findings show that growth in employment sector attracts significant immigration in the city and changes in the labour force (DL) depend on the participation rate (DA) rather than natural changes in the labour force (DN). The finding of the study shows that decades from 1986 to 2006 had the worst development conditions due to the lack of job opportunities whereas from 2006 to 2011 witnessed the best development conditions due to introduction of additional jobs openings. In terms of the growth rate of economic sectors, the periods of 1986 to 1996 and 1996 to 2006 had the best and the worst growth rate respectively.
