Abstract

This chapter contains case analyses of governance of key social services in the Czech Republic. It highlights the restructuring and changes in the public/private mix in this country in last few years with a focus on the impact on employment. National data are used to supplement comparative data from the EU and OECD. There is a focus on social services especially (child care, elderly care and employment services).
