Analyses of the Problems & Prospects of Human Resource Development in Developing Countries & Pakistan

Abstract

Human Resource Development (HRD) is one of the major issues being faced by developing countries in general and Pakistan in particular. HRD needs financial resources and technical capability which is almost nil in the development countries due to their economic backwardness. On the other hand, HRD play vital role in the economic development and prosperity of the nation because they HR is the hand, mind and eyes of the modern industrial societies. This short communication and review examined and analyzed the problems and prospects of HRD in Pakistan and come up with the conclusions that Pakistan must devise long term human resource development strategy to have far-reaching impact on Pakistan's sustained development. Likewise, developing managerial orthodoxy now posits the need of re-engineering of the organizations towards ‘flat’ hierarchical structures, an enlargement of job tasks and job autonomy, ideally centered on work teams.
