- description:
- A social impact assessment, which was co-financed by this and another project, was carried out to assess the effects of the Zambian mining industry on workers' rights and sustainable business practices. It addressed the spheres of compliance with international and national labour standards, protection of workers' rights (including freedom of association, collective bargaining and occupational safety and health [OSH]) and the effective exercise of social dialogue. The assessment documented a number of negative impacts of some prevalent business practices in the mining industry in Zambia. These included significant differences in salary and other benefits for employees doing the same or similar work depending on whether they worked for the principal enterprise or a sub-contractor, poor standards of occupational safety and health in some mines, and unequal pay for equal work favouring expatriate workers. The study highlighted two distinct business models that are commonly practiced in the sector in Zambia and how the problems that were identified link with these models. The study also discussed issues affecting the efficacy of labour inspection and the trade union movement in the mining sector.
