The State at Work, Volume 2

Edited by Hans-Ulrich Derlien and B. Guy Peters

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Representing the most extensive research on public employment, this volume explores the radical changes that have taken place in the configuration of national public services due to a general expansion of public employment that was followed by stagnation and decreases. Part-time employment and the involvement of women also increased as a component of the public sector and were linked to the most important growth areas such as the educational, health care and personal social services sectors. The two volumes that make up this study shed important insight on these changes.
