From conflict to cooperation examines the rhetoric and evidence concerning labour market rigidities in Nepal. The study provides a comprehensive review of the Nepalese labour market over the last twenty years, looking at the impact of historical, political and employment relations developments on the working environment. It presents both objective evidence concerning the relationship between labour market developments and broad economic trends as well as the subjective views of employers, workers and trade union leaders on labour legislation and the functioning of the labour market. The key labour market constraint to increased investment and faster growth in Nepal appears to be the adversarial nature of employment relations and the propensity of both employers and trade unions to adopt a winner-takes-all approach when in a position of power; the study thus calls for critical revision and reinforcement of the institutions that govern industrial relations.
