Research On Establishing Labor Norms In The Management And Operation Of Irrigation Infrastructure Managed By Hung Yen Irrigation One-Member Limited Liability Company

Abstract

Labor norms are among the essential technical-economic standards crucial in the management, exploitation, and protection of irrigation infrastructure. These norms form the basis for units to arrange labor use effectively and serve as a foundation for management levels to plan and approve public utility tasks assigned. According to the Irrigation Law and its guiding documents, establishing these norms is indeed necessary. However, currently, only a few provinces nationwide have developed these norms for grassroots irrigation organizations, including labor norms. In this paper, the authors present approaches, methods, and research results in developing labor norms for managing and operating irrigation facilities under the grassroots organizations in Hung Yen province, thereby drawing lessons for the practical deployment of this task. The research outcomes serve as lessons for the development and application of normative tools in management to enhance the effectiveness of managing irrigation facilities.
