A country's economy is simultaneously affected by two major events: a significant number of working-age citizens emigrate to other countries, while a new law extends the legal working age, allowing older citizens to remain in the potential workforce for longer. In a standard labor market model where a vertical line represents the total working-age population, what is the net effect of these two events on the position of this line?

Representation of the Labor Force on the Employment Axis
Consider a standard labor market model where the horizontal axis measures the number of people employed and a vertical line is used to represent the total working-age population. If a country raises its retirement age, thereby increasing the number of people considered to be of working age, how would this change be depicted on the graph?
In a graphical model of the labor market where the horizontal axis measures the number of people, the vertical line representing the total working-age population would be positioned to the left of a vertical line representing the labor force.
Analysis of Labor Supply Limits
Interpreting the Labor Supply Limit
In a standard labor market model, the horizontal axis represents the number of people and a vertical line on this axis indicates the total working-age population. An upward-sloping curve on the same graph shows the real wage required to entice a given number of people into employment. What is the significance of the point where this upward-sloping curve would meet the vertical line?

Evaluating a Policy Claim on Employment
Comparative Labor Market Analysis
In a labor market graph where the horizontal axis measures the number of people, the equilibrium level of employment is currently at 75 million. A vertical line on this graph, representing the total working-age population, is fixed at 100 million. If a strong economic expansion begins to significantly increase the demand for labor, which statement best analyzes the role of the working-age population limit in this scenario?
In a standard labor market model, a vertical line on the horizontal axis represents the total working-age population. Match each of the following events to its most likely effect on the position of this vertical line.
