| Résumé : | Is it possible to find labor-intensive methods of road construction that are technically efficient? Is the adoption of such methods socially desirable? If so, how can private contractors be encouraged to use the socially optimal method? What factors affect the large-scale implementation of efficient labour-intensive methods? These and other related questions are answered in this volume, the third in a series of ILO case studies on road construction in various parts of the world in this case, the Philippines. The implications of using labour- intensive methods are set against their economic background; but this is much more than a theoretical study, since the detailed ex-ante cost and productivity estimates worked out for a pilot road project in the Philippines are compared with the results of actual experiments carried out on the spot, in which the labour intensive methods devised by the IL0 engineers were tested under field conditions. This practical investigation confirms that, at least in the Philippines, labour-intensive methods of road construction are generally feasible. |
