The decollectivizing impacts of Fiji's post-1990 economic reforms upon
its labour market institutions have aggravated its economic vulnerabi
lities. Accelerated internationalization of its economy has meant that
the market coordinating capabilities of labour market institutions ha
ve been eroded. Weakened labour market institutions have harmed state
capacity to deal with social exclusion and economic marginalization. I
t has also inhibited its ability to direct small-to medium-scale enter
prises towards competitive growth.
