Labor and Demographic Economics
Guideline:
Covers studies about macro- and micro-issues in demographic economics and studies about microeconomic issues in labor economics. Studies about macroeconomic labor markets should be classified under E24, and should be cross-classified here only if they are relevant to labor economics in general. Studies about regional labor markets and regional population should be classified under R23 and should be cross-classified here if they are relevant to these topics in general. Studies about the same labor and demographic topics pertaining to economic development should be cross-classified here and under O15; those pertaining to socialist or transitional economies are cross-classified under P23 (P42 for other economic systems). Studies about regional labor markets and regional population should be classified under R23 and should be cross-classified here if they are relevant to these topics in general. Studies about issues in personnel economics, an economic field included recently, should be cross-classified under the appropriate categories in J2- J8 and the appropriate categories in M5, if relevant.
