If the wage rate increases, the income effect predicts that the individual will supply more labor because they are now better off and can afford to work less. On the other hand, the substitution effect predicts that the individual will supply less labor because the wage increase has made leisure more expensive relative to work, and they will substitute more leisure for work.
