Nevertheless, the main separating line lies between western and eastern German countries with huge differences in employment and unemployment rates, but also in the need for structural adaptation and change.
As far as the overall governance of employment policies is concerned, more or less the same type of structures apply in the different Länder, as e.g. the Employment Service is a Federal agency and regional alliances for work were structured after the example of the national Alliance for Jobs. Nevertheless, esp. the integration of social partners varies. Moreover, the Federal Employment Service as well as unemployment and social benefit are co-financed by the Länder at the regional and local level. Thus, the Länder partly set up programmes on ‘Work instead of social benefit’ in order to minimizes expenditure in this area.
The most important actors involved at the Länder level are the ministries for labour and social affairs, the ministries for economy and education, local authorities and the employment services.
Regional data on employment policies
Supply data that documents employment policies: concentrate on expenditure and the number of participants affected by these policies, but also report other relevant information that bears on cohesion.
(Note that, in addition to national sources, useful summary information can be found in OECD, ‘Employment Outlook’ and European Commission, Employment and social affairs, ‘Employment policies in the EU and in Member States’ for national data).
