Evaluation of Active Labour Market Policies Measures, Public Private Partnerships And Benchmarking

This book argues that active labour market policies are necessary to improve the position of the unemployed but have so far performed relatively poorly. The contributing authors seek ways to improve active labour market policy and consider three means of doing so improving the quality by better targeting and by better-designed measures, more efficient implementation and delivery, and better performance by benchmarking the various implementation agencies involved. The book also contains detailed descriptions of the new delivery systems in Australia and the Netherlands. These are countries that have privatized a considerable part of theimplementation reintegration services for the unemployed and therefore can provide valuable lessons. The Evaluation of Active Labour Market Policies will appeal to a wide audience including researchers and scholars of labour economics, sociology and political science. Policymakers within ministries and other public organizations and NGO's dealing withlabour market issues and partners, will also find much to engage them within the book.De Koning, Jaap is the author of 'Evaluation of Active Labour Market Policies Measures, Public Private Partnerships And Benchmarking', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845428464 and ISBN 1845428463.
