Developing countries are characterized by growing populations. Because of this and the initial low level of development, there is a need for infrastructures to support these populations. The industry that is most important in the developMent of the infrastructure (highways, utilities, industrial plants, etc.) is the construction industry. The construction industry in developing countries is characterized by a large pool of untrained, unskilled labour, and is unable to access its manpower needs. Therefore, a diagnostic manpower planning model for the construction industry has been developed.
