No major reform of the public sector is expected before the resumption of a functioning government. As the number of public sector employment opportunities declines, the expectation is that workers will be absorbed by the private sector, which is unlikely unless it significantly expands. At the same time, public sector workers will need retraining to develop the skills required by private sector employers or to start their ow'n businesses. An educated and skilled labour force is critical for developing the private sector, entrepreneurship and SMEs.
