Abstract: The Job Network has attracted international attention as a radical development in the marketisation of employment services. Since its inception in 1998 the Job Network has been controversial and has also had to be adjusted in the light of some major failings. To date the effectiveness of the Job Network has been subject to extensive analysis and debate. At the heart of the Job Network is the purchaser-provider model of service delivery. This article reviews and evaluates the model, highlights its limitations and points out possible developments in the application of the model to the Job Network.
