Tóm tắt

Discusses the limitations of labour market analysis (LMA), which is widely advocated as a successor to conventional manpower planning. Argues the need for a more systematic approach within the framework of policy formulation and implementation. The proposed “policy‐focused” approach would overcome some of the problems associated with LMA, in particular its lack of a disciplinary framework and operational process.
