The Political Failure of Employment Policy, 1945–1982
Author: Gary MucciaroniPublisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822991608
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This political history analyzes the failure of the United States to adopt viable employment policies, follows U.S. manpower training and employment policy from the 1946 Employment Act to the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982. Between these two landmarks of legislation in the War on Poverty, were attempts to create public service employment (PSE), the abortive Humphrey-Hawkins Act, and the beleaguered Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA).Mucciaroni's traces the impact of economic ideas and opinions on federal employment policy. Efforts at reform, he believes, are frustrated by the tension between economic liberty and social equality that restricts the role of government and holds workers themselves accountable for success or failure. Professional economists, especially Keynesians, have shaped the content and timing of policy innovations in such ways as to limit employment programs to a social welfare mission, rather than broader, positive economic objectives. As a result, neither labor nor management has been centrally involved in making policy, and employment programs have lacked a stable and organized constituency committed to their success. Finally, because of the fragmentation of U.S. political institutions, employment programs are not integrated with economic policy, are hampered by conflicting objectives, and are difficult to carry out effectively. As chronic unemployment and the United States' difficulties in the world marketplace continue to demand attention, the importance of Mucciaroni's subject will grow. For political scientists, economists, journalists, and activists, this book will be a rich resource in the ongoing debate about the deficiencies of liberalism and the best means of addressing one of the nation's most pressing social and political problems. Mucciaroni's provocative theoretical analysis is buttressed by several years' research at the U.S. Department of Labor, access to congressional hearings, reports, and debates, and interviews with policy makers and their staffs. It will interest all concerned with the history of liberal social policy in the postwar period.

The Politics and Development of Employment and Training

Book Description
Several social objectives influence government sponsorship of employment programs: (1) training for mobility to reduce disruptions caused by change; and (2) increasing skill levels to increase productivity. Evaluation of program effectiveness considers whether the program served its target groups, what activities were provided, and what the outcomes were. The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) targeted disadvantaged groups and provided classroom training, work experience, on-the-job training, and job placement. Wide fluctuations in estimates of CETA's net impact make it difficult to determine participant outcomes and cost-effectiveness. CETA's restructuring as the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) added performance standards and decentralization, which may have limited the extent of services to mandated populations. Reviews of JTPA Titles II and III found some net gains, although those in most need are not always likely to receive assistance. Special youth programs such as the Summer Training and Education Program and JOBSTART have had modest positive outcomes. In general, the more effective programs for youth and disadvantaged adults are the more expensive ones. Government employment programs have served only a small proportion of their eligible population. Policy questions for future programs remain: Should they continue the same mix with more funds and participants? Serve fewer people more intensively or more people less intensively? or Should more attention be paid to matching individuals to the most appropriate programs and activities?
