Public sector reform under EMU (resumé)

As part of the research project on the social implications of EMU, the Foundation commissioned a literature review which would focus on the relationship between EMU and reforms in the public sector. The study provides an overview of the policies and structure of the public sector in 10 Member States. The investigation, whose main findings are presented in this leaflet, looks at the impact of EMU on changes in the scope of the public sector, on financial and budgetary frameworks, and on industrial relations in the public sector.
