Abstract
The growth and reliance on employment services (ES) is
generally attributed to market forces demands,which
requires an employer to focus on its core functions.
Basically, ES provides the unemployed with information
about job vacancies and employers with information about
availability of prospective employees. The ES system
comprises of national institutions, which are commonly
referred to as public employment services (PES) and private
agencies, which are referred to as private employment
services (PrES). Currently, in many jurisdictions ES is
provided in a form of Labour Outsourcing (LO) and
Temporary Employment Services (TES). However, LO
and TES are perceived with suspicion in Tanzania and
South Africa. They are often criticized for compromising
employment, which are and widely claimed to be
exploitative. In that context, this article provides an
appraisal of the legal framework for the provision of LO
and TES in Tanzania and recommends reforms based on
experiences from South Africa.
