Tentative

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below it.

Modern manpower planning especially in developing countries focuses interest on formal schooling. Its terminology is that of teacher student ratios, absorption and enrollment ratios, dropouts, repeaters, general vs. technical education among others. The manpower planner assumes a certain demand pattern then valiantly plunges into the supply calculations, translating manpower requirements into  an educational plan. A thousand clerks are wanted in 2010, he is told. this means several thousands must enter primary school now so that 12 years late we can get 1,000 secondary school graduates. He has already defined a clerk to be the human being with 12 years of general education. he has calculated dropout and other relevant ratios accurately. Thus, one thousand clerks will be delivered in 2010. Problem is solved. If the reader feels a touch of sarcasm in the preceding portrayal of modern manpower planning, he is to be assured that only skepticism is intended. for in India as Myanmar, Pakistan that Taiwan, all densely populated, basically agricultural countries – a great upsurge in manpower development via schooling has taken place in the last 25 years.The impact of such development on economic growth leaves much to be desired. These countries are faced with severe problems in the other important areas of manpower planning, namely manpower allocation and utilisation. Despite the large numbers pouring out of the schooling system, shortages persist in certain occupations and locations while redundant surpluses accumulate in others. The shortages are not explained by the need for more schooling but are due to the kind of training offered and the kind of employment desired by the graduates. In most cases one is faced with the necessity to induce the prospective graduates to accept less schooling instead of striving for more, where the ranks of the unemployed are full. The problem that cries for greater attention is that of motivation of manpower. What induces people to join certain schools and continue their schooling? What are the incentives necessary to drives graduates from certain occupations to others?

What motivates manpower to work in certain geographic locations and avoid others?

What is the effect of schooling itself on attitudes and motivation, and finally what motivates workers to produce, innovate, cooperate, take risks and achieve higher productivity ?
