Explanation
Supply-side policies enhance skills for full employment
Steps:
- Identify supply-side policies as measures increasing aggregate supply through better education, skills, and productivity to reduce unemployment.
- Link full employment to minimizing structural unemployment via improved workforce capabilities.
- Assess options for direct impact on human capital and labor market efficiency.
- Select the option most targeting employability skills to boost job creation and participation.
Why D is correct:
- Enterprise skills training builds entrepreneurial abilities, increasing labor productivity and self-employment per human capital theory, directly lowering structural unemployment toward full employment.
Why the others are wrong:
- A reduces educational infrastructure, potentially lowering overall skill development and employability.
- B expands teaching capacity but lacks focus on job-specific skills, offering indirect supply-side benefits.
- C raises costs for private education, possibly reducing access and human capital investment without aiding public employment goals.
Final answer: D
