Abstract: The recent reform of the Danish governance system in the field of active employment policy has been subject to fierce criticism, as many commentators fear that it is the beginning of the end of the Danish Model of active stakeholder involvement. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data, this study aims to analyse the impact of the governance reform by assessing the initial experiences with the Local Employment Councils (LECs). The analysis shows that the LECs are relatively well-functioning and contri… Show more

“…As already discussed, collaborative welfare ties-in previously disparate programs (as for instance income support and welfare services), and forms bonds between government (at various levels), non-government agencies (for-profit or not-for-profit) and civil society elements of family or volunteers. This pattern of welfare is quite common overseas (Hemerijck 2009: 89;Damgaard & Torfing, 2010) and we have already seen some of the ways such conditional welfare is coming to the fore in Australia under the banner of the NT Intervention (quarantining) and place-based welfare. However, under such arrangements it may no longer be acceptable (or viable) to confine review and accountability advice to one segment or node in that interlocked welfare and services matrix, such as by isolating review of social security issues from the associated issues of access to or quality of welfare services (such as the supply of child care places, or accessible transport, arguably so essential to any viable targeting of groups such as teenage mothers).…”

“…But the genuine devolution/ localisation of social security and welfare usually associated with social inclusion programs has rarely been attempted in Australia so far (Carson & Kerr 2010), unlike Europe, where properly decentralised job-services have received generally favourable report cards (Lindsay & McQuaid 2009;Damgaard & Torfing 2010).
