Conceptual model for manpower planning for the construction industry in developing countries
Developing countries are characterized by growing populations. Because of this and the initial low level of development, there is a need for infrastructures to support these populations. The industry that is most important in the developMent of the infrastructure (highways, utilities, industrial plants, etc.) is the construction industry. The construction industry in developing countries is characterized by a large pool of untrained, unskilled labour, and is unable to access its manpower needs. Therefore, a diagnostic manpower planning model for the construction industry has been developed. A diagnostic model was used because it considers both the environment and the factors that affect the demand for, and the supply of, regional labour. The types of data required for forecasting the demand and supply of regional labour, possible sources of data and possible manpower programmes are presented.
