2011-2015: LEED to contribute to creating more and better quality jobs
18-Dec-2009
The LEED governing board recently adopted a new mandate which feeds directly into the OECD strategic objectives following the global crisis. In the recovery, economic prosperity and social cohesion will depend on the ability of our economies to generate sufficient employment, with possibilities for progression and accessibility for all. An integrated, cross-sector approach involving both labour market policy and economic development at the local level will be crucial to building better quality jobs in the recovery.

A variety of LEED studies have determined that more flexibility in the management of programmes is required for labour market policy to contribute fully to local strategies for economic growth and social inclusion. The LEED is implementing this new study on “Managing accountability and flexibility” to build on these findings and explore ways of allowing policy makers to inject greater flexibility into the management of employment policy at the local level while ensuring full accountability in relation to meeting national policy goals.

This project supports local development organisations in strengthening their information systems. It provides guidance on data collection, analysis and use in policy making, customised to conditions in each participating area. It helps policy makers to build evidence on: What makes your local economy work? What drives it forward, what holds it back? Where and how policy should intervene? Is policy bringing results?
