Abstract: This paper introduces an accounting linkage designed to relate the demand for labor—generated via an open input—output Leontief-type model—to labor markets described by cohort-activity characteristics of population distributions. This linkage is shown to provide access to an articulated definition of market demand for labor and provides a basis for analyzing the dynamics of demographic mobility and growth as it applies to phased development planning. Possible conflicts between multiple, economic, and demographic goals are accommodated via a ‘goal-programming’ formulation so that the corresponding dual variables are readily available as opportunity-cost evaluators for deviations from these planning goals.
