Roland Djieufack: Workers in Insolvency Proceedings in Cameroon, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The primary concern of this book is to promote conducive employment relations in Cameroon. Cameroon is an economic giant in sub-Saharan Africa, home to a large number of enterprises. Shedding light on underexplored areas of insolvency proceedings in Cameroon has become a hallmark of the authors. This book makes a timely contribution by addressing pertinent cases of violation of the legal rights of workers and employees in Cameroon during insolvency proceedings. Drawing on the OHADA Uniform Act Organizing Collective Proceedings for Clearing of Debts - which regulates insolvency proceedings in Cameroon - as well as other national legal instruments, this study finds that existing regulatory frameworks are beset by significant weaknesses and challenges that undermine the effective protection of employees. From this premise, the book recommends, inter alia, the establishment of an effective employee protection guarantee scheme funded by the government, as well as mechanisms to support redundant employees in re-entering the job market, including retraining programmes and job-search initiatives.
