Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Workplace Education and Training
  • Sustainable Development

Background:

  • Work-related research, education, and training (WRET) is undervalued in developing countries (DCs) for sustainable workplace improvement.
  • Significant obstacles hinder participation in WRET, including cost-effectiveness issues for advanced studies and training abroad.
  • The link between WRET and demonstrable workplace improvement is difficult to establish in diverse DC contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To stimulate critical discussion and opinion on the importance of WRET.
  • To advocate for WRET to be a national priority in DCs.
  • To highlight the role of WRET in enhancing industrial production and social progress, particularly concerning workplace health and safety.

Main Methods:

  • This paper presents a critical review and discussion of the current state of WRET in DCs.
  • It synthesizes existing challenges and barriers to WRET implementation and recognition.
  • The study uses a qualitative approach, focusing on generating debate and highlighting under-recognized issues.

    • Main Results:

    • WRET is widely neglected in DCs despite its potential for sustainable workplace improvement.
    • Barriers such as cost and difficulty in demonstrating ROI impede WRET adoption.
    • Poor health and safety conditions in workplaces underscore the urgent need for WRET.

    Conclusions:

    • WRET must be recognized as a vital component of national development strategies in DCs.
    • Addressing the obstacles to WRET is crucial for improving workplace conditions and productivity.
    • Elevating WRET on the national agenda is imperative for industrial production and social progress.
