Answer 1

Human resource development is an important field for any country's development. Some of the important factors that a country should look under its ministry of human development are

Social security of the workers

Trade union activities

Skill development

Occupational health and security

Technological advancement

Subsidies etc.

Here we will discuss the first two factors that are social security and trade union activities in a country. In a developing country, with the development of the state social security of human resource has to be considered as one of the most important factors in the industrial front as well as all the sections of the society. Social security is the security that gyards the interest of the workers against certain risks and contingencies to which a member is exposed., here it becomes the duty of the state to provide social security where a support is provided to the workers where they are not being able to work n make profitable activities, as well as restore their work force or human resource. To promote social activities that benefit the work force and make sure it is provided when required.

The second criteria is to manage trade unions in a country. Some of the problems that needs to be managed under this category are unions that can make it harder to promote and terminate workers, by this we can say hiring and firing of ununionized workers are not very easily done. Unions can also drive up the cost for an organisation for instance unions come with some higher compensations in regarding of unionized members resulting in overall rise in production resulting in rise of cost for the country. Labour unions also discourage individuality where individuals have to abide by the laws of the union. Unions in a country could either be the reason for its overall growth or fall, so its very important to always analyze the performance of human resources in context of unions.
