- Title
The Job Creation Programme: Administrative Problems of Implementation.
- Authors
Ridley, F. F.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the administrative problems encountered in the implementation of the job creation program (JCP) of Manpower Services Commission in Great Britain. The JCP was launched to provide temporary employment for people and managed by local authorities and voluntary bodies, who devised schemes and rules for the program. The budget allocated for the program amounted to 30 million pounds and by the end of 1977 it had reached 166 million pounds accounting for 120,000 temporary jobs; but by the end of 1978 the funding for the program stopped and the program ceased its operation. F. F. Ridley, JCP chairman, viewed that unclear definitions of the basic program principles such as temporary employment, benefits to employees and community are some of the problems in the implementation.
