11 URBAN TRANSPORT SCENARIO Latin American situation (source: Latin American Office) The labour market in Latin America is very informal, this is reflected on public transport sector, but on a much smaller proportion than in other sectors.

12 URBAN TRANSPORT SCENARIO The triple challenge for PT companies worldwide Recruit in large number Higher qualified staff Motivate and retain staff This triple challenge puts into question the attractiveness of the PT sector as an employer, the business culture and the HR managerial practices. 12

14 THE TRIPLE CHALLENGE RAISES THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE PT SECTOR AS AN EMPLOYER In Latin America, there are different realities between the rail and the bus sector: The rail industry historically has formal jobs through its origin in public enterprises. Staff generally have higher qualifications and a more professionalised structure. The bus sector is often made of small family businesses and is in a slow process to formalize.

15 THE TRIPLE CHALLENGE RAISES THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE PT SECTOR AS AN EMPLOYER Attracting young talent often difficult in Latin America because young people (engineers) may not know the opportunities in PT sector Need for more promotion of the PT sector as an employer Need to develop technical and academic programmes (training, qualifications, education, diplomas specific to the Transport sector) Lack of drivers: sometimes because cargo sector is more attractive in terms of salary, PT driver can be seen as stressful because of customer interaction.
