This book examines the impact of contracting-out public employment services in Ireland on welfare-to-work, using a case study approach and extensive research with frontline staff, policy officials, and jobseekers. It highlights the role of market governance in intensifying regulatory and conditional welfare models.

Publisher: Bristol University Press

This book assesses how the practice of contracting-out public employment services via competitive tendering and Payment-by-Results is transforming welfare-to-work in Ireland. It offers Ireland's introduction of a welfare-to-work market as a case study that speaks to wider international debates in social and public policy about the role of market governance in intensifying the turn towards more regulatory and conditional welfare models on the ground. It draws on unprecedented access to, and extensive survey and interview research with, frontline employment services staff, combined with in-depth interviews with policy officials, organisational managers and jobseekers participating in activation.
