Getting welfare to work : street-level governance in Australia, the UK, and the Netherlands / Mark Considine, Jenny M. Lewis, Siobhan O'Sullivan, and Els Sol. - First edition. - 1 online resource

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This volume traces the radical reform of the Australian, UK, and Dutch public employment services systems. Starting with major changes from 1998, the book examines how each national system has moved from traditional public services towards more privately provided and market-based methods. Each of these three countries developed innovative forms of contracting-out and complex incentive regimes to motivate welfare clients and to control the agencies charged with helping them.
