 Macro Level HRP
1. Manpower Planning is largely concerned with labour supply.
Employment planning is largely concerned with the demand for
jobs than with the supply side of the employment equation.
2. HRP is interested to know the number of people coming onto the
labour market, their education and training levels, age etc.
3. HRP is largely concerned with determining the training needs to
reconcile the labour supply with that of labour demands in the
economy. This activity is undertaken by the Ministry of Labour
and/or Education, Ministries of Planning or Finance.
4. The focus on the supply side of the equation is probably the
reason that the demand for labour has been treated inadequately
in most of the Manpower Planning activities to date. However,
there is increasing recognition of the need for skilled workforces as
a basis for future development.
