Title: What do you mean?
Description: "Efficiency and equity are priorities in the social policies of both industrial and developing countries. However, policy studies use efficiency and equity objectives in a general way, while in practice they may refer to specific concepts. This study looks at the political dimension of the economic problem - different value judgments lead to different concepts of efficiency and equity. The design of social policies depends on the interpretation - rarely explicit - of policymakers.

What Do You Mean? shows how conceptual clarity can improve social services delivery."--BOOK JACKET.
