5.4. Policy recommendations
i) Need to improve conditions in the logistics industry in order to secure adequate workforce
In order to secure an adequate workforce to meet future labour needs in the logistics industry,
factors that have discouraged workers and have prevented full utilisation of the labour force must be
removed. In areas such as road transport, decisive political efforts will be necessary in order to achieve
greater equity between conditions of employment prevailing in transport and those in other sectors.
Advanced information technology and equipment should be introduced more rapidly in order to
enhance the efficiency of older and non-skilled workers. However, the industry also needs to promote
the development of skilled workers at schools, help improve job-hunting activities, and reduce labour
turnover in order to avoid potential labour shortages in the future.
Industry-wide efforts to improve its image are also necessary, if the logistics industry is to
compete for workers in an increasingly narrow labour market.
