Answer 2

The demand for labor s called derived demand since t s derived from the demand for the firm's output. If demand for the firm's output increases, the firm will demand more labor and they will  eventually hire more workers. That is why it is referred to as derived demand.

Explanation:

• The term derived demand was provided by Alfred Marshall. Derived demand  is referred to as the demand for a factor of production or labor  that occurs as a result of the demand for another intermediate or final good.  
• When the demand for the product increases from the consumers then   the demand for factor of production also goes up.
