Experience with labor redundancy schemes in the transport sector in Western Europe, the United States and Japan
Havlicek, Dieter
This study forms part of a Bank research project on "Labor Redundancy in the Transport Sector." Its objective is to provide guidance to Bank staff in identifying situations where surplus labor is present and to provide a basis for an analysis of the impact of labor redundancy on the individual transport enterprise and the economy as a whole as well as to furnish the necessary tools for the formulation of effective labor redundancy schemes. The broader research project will contain a number elements aimed at identifying, defining, and measuring the problem and its causes, calculating the costs and benefits associated with redundancy and redundancy schemes, and examining the experience with labor redundancy in a number of countries with a view to identifying the factors most likely to contribute to the successful or unsuccessful outcome of such experiences. The present study examines this latter aspect and reviews experience with labor force reduction programs in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.
