I have to do an economics essay, which I am struggling with. The question is "Analyse the trends in labour market outcomes in Australia during recent years" (1000-1250 words)
My problem is not with information but structure. I'm not sure how to set it out. Wether to seperate it into Wage and income outcomes. What to do each paragraph on etc. Any help and ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Paragraph 1-8 : dicuss broadly the oucomes in the last 1o years and the impact of this on the economy.

Keep it all as one (do not separate)

"Analyse the trends in labour market outcomes in Australia during recent years" is the whole question.

look at the information u have.
divide it into sections i.e. looking at different aspects/ideas concerning the labour market.

1. write an intro outlining the contents of the essay
2. dedicate a paragraph to each of the ideas u split ur information into to, linking one paragraph to the next with a short sentence.
3. conclusion, summing up and drawing implication from what u have written.

^^basic structure of an essay^^

btw. did it explicity say "essay", coz if it said "extended response", then a report-style is much better i.e. graphs, charts, stats, tables etc.

Jose.
I'm guessing that's you. I can tell since you're calling some random guy my name. But I decided to make a post and have a look around while I had the time.
