520    This monograph provides strategies to increase private-
       sector employment, including ways to reemploy civil-
       service workers in the private sector, in the Kurdistan 
       Region - Iraq. Prepared for and at the request of the 
       Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), this monograph is 
       based on a variety of research methods and analyses. These
       include a review of the existing literature, analyses of 
       survey data, analysis of Kurdistan regional and Iraqi 
       national documents and laws, and a qualitative assessment 
       of numerous conversations with government officials and 
       private-sector employers. The KRG can develop its private 
       sector by removing obstacles to starting or expanding a 
       business, by identifying sectors for which conditions are 
       particularly favorable for private-sector growth and 
       supporting them, and by outsourcing and privatizing some 
       functions that the KRG currently performs. However, 
       private-sector growth does not guarantee that civil-
       service workers will leave for private-sector employment. 
       Civil-service workers will need the qualifications 
       necessary for private-sector jobs and will have to expect 
       that the benefits of private-sector employment outweigh 
       the benefits of civil-service employment. At the same time,
       as the KRG devises methods for encouraging civil-service 
       workers to leave for the private sector, a key challenge 
       will be to ensure that the most productive employees stay 
       with the KRG in order to ensure the proper functioning of 
       government.
