DOWNLOAD EBOOKFew programs in the United States are as controversial as those that constitute the country s safety net, which in the past few decades have been broadly transformed and substantially increased in size and scope. Many of these programs were discussed in the popular NBER book, "Means-Tested Transfer Programs in the United States," published in 2003. This new book sheds light on changes in programs and the results of new research since the first volume. Each volume of "Economics of Means-Tested Transfer Programs in the United States" explores four programs in particular. This second volume looks into the less standard or newer transfer programs, which include Supplemental Security Income, Low-Income Housing Policy, Employment and Training Programs, and Early Childhood Education. Both volumes of "Means-Tested Transfer Programs in the United States "will constitute a unique, single-source reference containing analysis of the origins, successes, failures, and developments in the most important recent means-tested transfer programs in the United States."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book makes the startling case that North Americans were getting on the "information highway" as early as the 1700's, and have been using it as a critical building block of their social, economic, and political world ever since. From the beginning North Americans were willing to invest in the infrastructure to make such connectivity possible. This book explores what the deployment of these technologies says about American society. The editors assembled a group of contributors who are experts in their particular fields and worked with them to create a book that is fully integrated and cross-referenced.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book analyses the employment effects of job creation schemes for participating individuals in Germany. Programs provide subsidized jobs that are additional in nature and of value for society. International evidence on their effectiveness suggests that programs should be targeted to the needs of the unemployed and should be offered early in the period of unemployment. Both questions are studied for job creation schemes in Germany.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Bureaucratic Manoeuvres, John Grundy examines profound transformations in the governance of unemployment in Canada. While policy makers previously approached unemployment as a social and economic problem to be addressed through macroeconomic policies, recent labour market policy reforms have placed much more emphasis on the supposedly deficient employability of the unemployed themselves, a troubling shift that deserves close, critical attention. Tracing a behind-the-scenes history of public employment services in Canada, Bureaucratic Manoeuvres shows just how difficult it has been for administrators and frontline staff to govern unemployment as a problem of individual employability. Drawing on untapped government records, it sheds much-needed light on internal bureaucratic struggles over the direction of labour market policy in Canada and makes a key contribution to Canadian political science, economics, public administration, and sociology.
