This paper presents and tests a model that may partially explain why the demand for labor adapts to the availability of labor. In particular, I postulate that the cost of hiring declines with increases in the amount of labor available. The cost of hiring would decrease with a growth in available...

The effect of demographic change on the labor force and on fiscal revenues is topical in light of potential pension shortfalls.
