Generally, a labour market is made up of three major components known as the demand for labour, supply of the labour and the price of the labour. Demand for labour involves the demand by employers in both private and public sector for semi skilled workers. Supply of the labour represents the total number of workers in the labour force each year produced by schools, universities, technical and vocational training institutions in both state and private sectors.
