What is a labour force guide?
A labour force guide is described as a detailed and integrated guide for recruiting, developing and retaining the paid staff required by a particular sector or a specific area of activity within a particular sector.The Labour Force guide is a major source of information on the personal characteristics of the working population, including age, sex, marital status, educational attainment, and family characteristics.
Labour force planning activity in this guide is the term used to represent an individual labour force development initiative such as conducting research on skill shortages, developing competency profiles, running an advocacy campaign, and creating a leadership development training program. A particular labour force planning activity is not necessarily preceded by or part of a comprehensive labour force guide. It takes a coherent, integrated set of activities to make up a guide.
