In Workfare: Why Good Social Policy Ideas Go Bad, Maeve Quaid delves into the definition and history of workfare, and then continues with a critical and comparative analysis of workfare programs in six jurisdictions: three American (California, Wisconsin, New York) and three Canadian (Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick). Drawing from these case studies, Quaid develops an analytic model that illustrates how workfare falls prey to a series of hazards whereby good social policy ideas fail. Their demise, argues Quaid, begins with politicians with a zest for big ideas but little interest in implementation, continues with short-sighted policy makers, resistant bureaucrats, cynical recipients, flawed evaluations, and is completed by fleeting and fickle public attention for these news stories. Quaid's identification and analysis of these hazards is especially valuable because the hazards can also be applied to innovation in any area of social policy, such as health-care, education, pension plans, child-care, and unemployment insurance. 606 $aWelfare recipients$xEmployment$zCanada 606 $aWelfare recipients$xEmployment$zUnited States 606 $aPublic welfare administration$zCanada 606 $aPublic welfare administration$zUnited States 607 $aUSA$2swd 607 $aKanada$2gnd 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWelfare recipients$xEmployment 615 0$aWelfare recipients$xEmployment 615 0$aPublic welfare administration 615 0$aPublic welfare administration 676 $a362.5/8/0971 700 $aQuaid$b Maeve$01463773 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780535903321 996 $aWorkfare$93673188 997 $aUNINA
