Practice mode Production Factors

What effect does a fall in demand for fish have?

Correct answer B. It decreases the value of the marginal product of fishermen, reduces their wage and reduces employment in the fishing industry

Explanation

Lower demand cuts the price of fish, so each fisherman's marginal product is worth less, labour demand falls, and both wages and employment in fishing decline.
