3.2.6. Labor

The I-O table contains supplemental information regarding labor and employment. An example portion of the employment table is shown in Figure 5. The inducement of employment by demand increase is estimated utilizing this data, focusing on all employed persons, including the employer as well as self-employed persons and family workers.

The employment factor is estimated using Equation (5). As shown in Equation (6), by transforming employment factors to a diagonal matrix and by multiplying the domestic production of each sector, employment inducement due to 1 unit of demand increase is estimated. The scale of the inducement can be estimated by dividing the average of the sum of all industries.

$$
\boldsymbol{\nu}\_{\rangle} = \mathbf{L}\_{\text{j}} / \mathbf{X}\_{\text{j}} \tag{5}
$$

*pj*: employment coe fficient *Lj*: employed person in sector *j Xj*: Domestic production in sector *j*.

$$Employment\ Inductuments = \hat{L} \cdot \left(I - A\right)^{-1} \tag{6}$$

Annual income per person can also be estimated by the employment table, as the table includes average incomes along with the number of employed persons. Since copper collection does not exist as an activity within the current I-O table, incomes from the similar waste collection industry are substituted here.
