Activation Strategies and the Performance of Employment Services in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
Strategies to 'activate' the unemployed with the help of high-quality employment services have
continuously gained importance in the policy debate. The purpose of this report is to examine how
activation strategies and the performance of employment services are addressed in three countries which
have undertaken considerable reforms in recent years, namely Germany, the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom. All three review countries have implemented a 'mutual obligations' approach.
