First sentence: The use of contracting as an instrument of policy implementation is spreading rapidly in employment services, a domain that for decades has been tightly linked to government provision, at least in Europe.
Description: "This book is the first comparative in-depth study of the process of contractualisation. It offers seventeen penetrating analyses, by leading labour market and labour law authorities, of recent policy initiatives to activate employment by contract and of the implications of these initiatives from both a legal and a socioeconomic perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
