Background on global/community issue
To compete and win in today’s economy and be ready to outsprint the competition when the
green shoots of recovery emerge, the full potential of your employees must be realised.
Employees need to willingly develop their careers in such a way that they pursue the
capability development that their employer needs to thrive and deliver increased value. The
study conducted by right management company draws on more than 28,000 responses from
15 countries representing 10 major industry sectors. This study has been supplemented with
key findings and insights from further research undertaken in Australia and New Zealand.
Thirty six key HR and business decision makers were interviewed from twenty eight
organisations. Those represented included two of the big four Australian banks, five
multinational organisations, major government departments and several iconic employers.

2. Our research highlights the value of including career development as a vital part of your
organisational strategy. The benefits include the continued development of employees in
competencies needed by your organisation to succeed and increased employee engagement
which is a key driver of productivity, retention and performance.
The world faces a huge challenge of creating productive jobs for its expanding labour force,
says a new study by three ILO economists. This challenge is global in three ways. First,
inadequate availability of productive jobs is now a worldwide phenomenon, affecting both
North and South. Second, global forces such as cross-border flows of trade, capital and
labour now have important consequences for employment in individual countries. Third,
international economic policies are now almost as important as national policies for
expanding opportunities for productive employment in less developed countries, where most
of the world’s workers live and where almost all of its new workers will live.
The state of the labour force in Tanzania shows that the majority of the able-bodied
population continues to be primarily under-employed. Most labour market analysis studies
have shown a persistent exclusion of the majority of the labour force from productive
activities of a dynamic and sustainable form, of the underdevelopment of rural and urban
non-formal economies, and of the inability of the formal economies to generate adequate
employment opportunities. There is a high level of underemployment amongst the youth,
with new entrants in the labour market estimated to be one million youths each year.
In Mtwara region with the expansion of oil and gas industry there is i need to do carrier
development and self employment this to enable the community to directly and indirectly
benefit from this industries that is to say to get direct employment to these (oil and gas)
industries or to get market for there (self -employed) products if the people around are self
employed.
