Women in the organized Sector
Women constitute only 14% of the total employment in the organized sector. It is concentrated in Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Tamilnadu.
In the urban areas, FEAR in tertiary sector has increased, from 37.6 % in 1983 to 52.9 % in 1999. (Economic Survey, 2002, GOI).
Here, women workers and employees get relatively better wages, standard working hours, and the protection of labour laws.
Women in the Informal Sector
Factors Affecting Women’s Labour Force Participation
• Changes in age-structure, urbanisation, level & nature of economic development, infrastructure, government policies, labour laws, nature of work, structure of family, culture & tradition affecting autonomy and control, fertility levels and childbearing practices, nature of housework,women’s property rights, education, age at marriage, migration, access to technology.
Segmentation in the labour market
• Nature of wage differentials (WD)-for identical tasks women are paid less. And women are confined to relatively inferior tasks, casual work.
• Causes of WD-patriarchal attitude, myths

The methodology used in this research is a descriptive-survey with questionnaire as the main instrument answered by both the laborers and their supervisors who served as respondents of this study. The study found out that the productivity of the laborers sometimes exceeds standards or expectations which implied that they have advanced knowledge in their work. Further, age and monthly compensation were the two main factors that affected their productivity which was an indication that mature laborers with higher monthly income were more productive employees.
cost control analysis as effective tools in construction industry in nigeriaNewman Jonathan
Nevertheless, the construction industries require cost estimation techniques/analysis scheme like other similar schemes aimed at foreseeing the future of the projects to accomplish the profitability targets.
Due to large operations inherent in the construction industries, managers needed to imbibe the culture of forecasting activities in terms of costs control techniques in order to see future at the beginning of the project. These therefore justify the establishment of Project Control Department were cost controllers and cost estimators are domicile in the company
Manufacturers are facing increased market competition. It is possible to increase profit significantly, but this requires that we make changes to our management philosophy. A case study is presented of a company that increased profits more than 20% per year for many years after a period focussed on management innovation. Changing the way we manage delivers much more than putting our hopes on new technology. See the originating website at https://stratflow.com/supply-chain-and-operations-toc/

2. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
A large proportion of the high cost
in construction work is as a result of
excessive labour costs.
These costs can be reduced if
productivity on site is increased by
improving labour efficiency.
3. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Labour productivity is determined by a
complexity of factors.
One of these factors is the type and size
of the project.
It includes the layout and complexity of the
project.
A large construction site requiring a large
number of workers will be relatively harder
to manage than a smaller size.
4. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The difficulties in managing manpower on a
large scale may result in productivity loss
(Thomas and Jansma, 1985).
There are four main factors that affect labour
productivity;
1. The duration of worker’s effort.
2. The intensity of worker’s effort.
3. The effectiveness of worker’s effort combined
with the technology used.
4. The efficiency of worker’s effort, which can be
described as a measure of how much the
worker is utilising his ability.
5. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Work on a complex project (e.g. such as the
construction of a major shopping centre)
becomes more difficult as the project advances.
Off-site pre-fabrication units will reduce the
number of labour hours required.
Other factors such as:
the level of skill amongst the workers;
the length of the workday;
Innovative work practices can increase
productivity.
6. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
In view of Olomolaiye et al (1998):
The personal attribution of workers contribute to
the factors that directly affect productivity.
These attributes as:
worker’s skills
experience
training
qualifications
Innate (inborn) physical and mental ability.
The intensity of the application of both skills and
innate ability to the production process.
7. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Thomas et al (1992) investigated the level of labour
productivity for masonry activities from seven countries.
Case study showed that:
little difference in productivity amongst the seven
countries.
The aim of investigation was to show that productivity in
Australia
Canada
England
Finland,
Scotland
Sweden and the United State-was similar.
8. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The site with the highest level of
disruption will have the worse level of
productivity.
Other investigations show that labour
disruption accounts for more than
50% of the variability in daily crew
productivity.
9. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
An excessive number of staff can be disruptive.
It also has the effect of reducing the level of
productivity.
The results of a model based survey of contractors
(planning engineers) in France, Germany and UK
Showed that :
the working schedule of UK and German
contractors may be excessive;
can have an impact on construction productivity
level.
10. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The survey also identified that in the UK the
labour force employed on site are:
26% directly employed
74% sub-contracted
In France 93% of the labour force on site are
directly employed.
In France 7% are sub-contractors.
This trend goes back to year 2000 to 2003
and recently there has been some changes
to above figures.
11. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Employment practice has an impact on
the cohesiveness amongst the workforce.
Some of the Important contributors towards
Labour productivity are:
a culture of cohesiveness
common goal
strong sense of a team working
towards a common goal
12. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
A culture of team working involving all
workers is to achieve a common goal.
A common goal on construction site is to
achieve KPIs.
Labour productivity can also be improved
if operatives on site avoid conflict.
Conflict on site can hamper the progress
of work.
Team working reduces conflict and will
greatly facilitate increased productivity.
13. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The importance of a directly or indirectly
employed workforce.
and the effect on the dynamics of
productivity is reiterated in several
research work.
The growth in the construction sector is
relatively stagnant.
The job security can be very bad during
any recession for construction workforce.
14. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
This is based on a number of observations.
One such observation is the limited use of
mass production.
The reasons for high productivity amongst
major contractors are:
Scheduled overtime is avoided
The labour force is directly employed
They are a mainly skilled work force
15. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Maximum 40 hour per week is the norm
rather than the exception.
There are also other factors such as:
high salary
job security
which are also important reasons for high
productivity amongst major construction
firms.
16. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Impact of Changes on Labour
Productivity
Any changes made to the original
scope of work are costly.
They will have an effect on labour
productivity.
Although some changes are inevitable,
the impact on site productivity is
nonetheless significant.
17. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The impact of changes in quantitative
terms has been measured by researchers.
Changes impacts on the labour force’s
efficiency.
The relationship between change and
various types of disruption would result in
productivity decline.
18. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The increase in the percentage of work
hours spent on changes will lead to a 10-
20% loss in productivity.
Changes are considered an indirect factor
influencing productivity.
It has also been realised that changes in
themselves do not decrease productivity
or efficiency.
It is the manpower involved in the process.
19. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
If a change occurs in the final stage of a
construction project:
the crew must stop working until the
changes are carried out first.
Also the work method may require
changes as well as more co-ordination
being required.
20. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
If changes occur:
routine work will change,
processes will slow down
the total work hours will be several times
greater.
On average, there is a 30% loss of
efficiency when changes are being
performed, although it is possible to carry
out many changes without a loss of
efficiency.
21. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The variables affecting efficiency are
believed to be the time of the change.
Productivity can decline if there are:
repeat works
disruption
the presence of change
22. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The impact of change on the construction site
will often result in disputes.
Changes should be kept to a minimum.
Improving Productivity by Training Methods
Training is considered to be an influential factor
in high productivity on construction sites.
The growth in labour only sub-contracting in UK
construction sector.
The level and quality of training within the
industry.
23. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity within the UK construction
industry compared with West Germany
and France is partly the result of low levels
of training labour force receive in UK
amongst small firms.
Large UK firms have a good training
policy.
24. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Improving the knowledge and skill of
workers on construction sites.
Motivated work force.
Including the quality of management all
can improve the productivity.
Site worker’s training is considered to be
an important factor in improving site
productivity.
25. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Therefore, organisational performance (P)
can be considered to be dependent on:
the aggregate sums of performance of
each worker (F)
and each manager (M)
and the external factor (e)
and the organisational performance is
shown as; P = f (F, M, e).
26. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
The individual performance is dependent
on individual knowledge (K)
skill (S)
and the attitude to the work (a) of each
worker and manager
P= f (K,S, a), M =f (K, S, a). Performance
of workers is linked to both quality
(qualitative) and output (quantitative) rate.
27. LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity and the quality of work can be
improved by:
giving appropriate training to upgrade the:
knowledge
skills
and attitude of workers and managers.
