A universal concern in infrastructure
reforms is the effect such reforms have on labor.
State-owned infrastructure firms often employ more people
than required for efficiency, and often under favorable
terms and conditions of service, leading to lower labor
productivity and higher labor costs than private employers
would bear. Some reform, in particular those involving
private participation in infrastructure (PPI), may thus
prompt surplus labor and changes in working conditions as
governments adjust the work force to prepare for PPI, or as
new owners or operators introduce efficiency improvements
and expose enterprises to greater management discipline, new
technologies, and increasing competition. The primary
objective of this Toolkit is to provide practical tools and
information to help policymakers handle labor issues in
private participation in infrastructure (PPI). The Toolkit
consists of seven modules: 1) Framework and overview of the
entire toolkit; 2) Labor impacts of PPI; 3) Assessing the
size and scope of labor restructuring; 4) Strategies and
options; 5) Key elements of a labor program; 6) Engaging
with stakeholders; 7) Monitoring and evaluation of labor
programs. The Toolkit also contains a web-based CD-ROM with
searchable documents, spreadsheets, sample terms of
reference for obtaining the needed expertise to carry out
various labor-related tasks, case studies, and other
relevant data. |
