Innovation in Social Services: The Public-Private Mix in Service Provision, Fiscal Policy and Employment. Edited by Toms Sirovtka and Bent Greve

By Bent Greve and Tomas Sirovatka

Through exploring patterns in the recent development of financing and governance of social services and developments of social services and employment in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany and the UK, this volume provides readers with new knowledge and evidence of the options regarding social innovation in social services. Furthermore, it provides a comparative European perspective on how the interplay between a public and private mix of social service on the one hand might help in creating jobs, and, on the other, be a way of coping with the needs and expectations of higher level of services in the core areas of the welfare state.
