Abstract

Labor laws are crucial instruments that governments use to manage the dynamics of the labor market, influence employment rates, and promote economic growth. This research study critically explores the conception, implementation, and results of labor policies in developing and rising countries, with a focus on their impact on employment creation and macroeconomic performance. Using a combination of theoretical frameworks and empirical data, this study investigates how labor laws, wage structures, social protection programs, trade union practices, and vocational training programs affect the labor market. Using cross-sectional analysis and time-series econometric approaches, this study investigates the causation and co-integration between labor policy initiatives and significant macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, employment elasticity, and labor force participation rates. Additionally, included are secondary statistics from international databases (such as the World Bank and ILO) and national labor surveys. The rest of the labor laws which are counted as a series with problems for formal and informal employment, it is also considered as hindrance for different policies at national and international level. This research provides a base for different labor laws for production and evaluation as effectiveness as different policy making data samples.
