Practical Solutions for Addressing Labor-Related Barriers to Bhutan's Private Employment Growth
This note provides practical solutions for addressing the labor-related barriers that impede Bhutan's private sector employment growth: (i) lack of workers with relevant experience and skills, (ii) restrictions on employing non-Bhutanese workers, and (iii) lack of interest among Bhutanese workers in private sector employment opportunities (Enterprise Survey 2015). This note draws on international experience from comparable settings and identifies potential solutions: (a) improve the population's work skills to better align with market needs and to boost productivity; (b) balance local and foreign employment; and (c) increase the attractiveness of private sector jobs by extending critical benefits (primarily pensions) to its workers.
