Privatization Of Public Services

Combating for public reform in the areas of taxation and policies for the wealthy will make positive difference in the economy. Income inequality has been increasing since 1970 (Hatch). One way to battle this issue is to vote to increase taxes among the wealthy. Though, this will not in a sense create income equality however, it would promote additional income and income distribution to lower income households. Through this method the standard income requirements to be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) could be lowered, this provides a tax credit to qualified working family units. The EITC helps to reduce inequality among some working families, as this is common example redistribution of our nation’s wealth (Hatch).

Through my online class, I got the chance to learn about socialism, communism and capitalism. They are all different from each other even though there are some similar stuff between them there is a little thing that distinguishes each one from each other.

This essay will provide an analysis of the public sector in public relations, identifying its key concepts, challenges and an example of an organisation which follows its structure. The public sector PR is described as “driven by the need for transparency in how an organisation carries out its public duties, accountability to the public, on how money from taxes is spent and increasingly, public consultation and involvement in the services provided” (Tench & Yeomans 2009). Public sector organisations are those which are publicly funded - usually through taxes. This includes local government, NHS, Police, Fire stations, and Ambulance service. Public relations in the public sector widely focus on government and political communications which can be local, regional or central. The audience within this public sector is essentially the public - those who pay taxes in order to fund these public organisations as all of these services are paid for through either local or national taxes.

Economists employed by the government are involved in implementing policies, which were especially established to meet government 's objectives that are very often multidimensional. There are four very fundamental objectives for viable economy, including decreasing the unemployment rates in certain regions, lower or stabilise the inflation, constant economic growth and a satisfactory balance of payments position. The UK economy continues to suffer from a number of underlying structural weaknesses. The government is now set on providing the economic framework, which will enhance the opportunity to raise a sustainable rate of economy growth, (Anderton, 2006).

The privatizing of urban transportation can work with timely public planning. A lot of the issues to be considered are due to poor maintenance, slow expansion of streets, urban highways and excessive congestion in many cities. Public and private partnerships can be used to improve the timing of investments and ensure adequate maintenance of highways. Because of the lack of funding and political “red tape” at both the local and federal levels, privatized funding can help with the development of roadways, create jobs and complete the task at hand. Although privatization terms and conditions of contracted developers of urban planning can create an inflexed rate in the use of tolls for many road ways and highways it can reduce the congestion in many cities.

Since the 1980s, transnational actors have disseminated ideas of education privatization throughout Latin America. Although by similar means, these policy ideas arrived at different historical moments at Chile and Argentina. Privatization ideas made its way in Chile carried by the influential Chicago boys, during the critical juncture of the authoritarian regime. The market-based reform served the interests of the military regime, and faced very little resistance given the repression and dismantling of the teacher union, and the penetration of the economic logic in the Ministry of Education. Timing, carriers and weak opposition allowed a complete replacement of the domestic education policy. Later in democracy, state-oriented education bureaucrats were not able to reverse the policy change. Although they tried to build on the inherited model and use the state as a way to correct the failures of the education market, the inconsistency between their goals and their means ended up reproducing and strengthening the privatized model.

The question is not why the public sector can’t continue to administer the SIR program, it is how the private sector can do it better. The public sector

In recent years government services such as health, sanitation and education have been particularly target for privatisation in many countries.

Privatization may have advantages on some business, but it also brings out some problems in another categories. Firstly, it actually reduces government revenue in long run. The government originally owned some shopping centres and carparks before the privatization of them to The Link, these shops actually make profit. Operating them require operation cost but the revenue generated by selling the products to people and renting spaces for shop owners can cover the cost. Profit could be made if they operate well. All revenues and expenditures will be taken charge by Link REIT after the privatization. In short run, the cost and expenditure of running the shopping centres and carparks are reduced so it can save government’s money. But in long run, the government will lose the profit generated by these shopping malls that could be originally earned by it if it does not privatize these centres to The Link.

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) practice has been increasingly prevalent in modern infrastructure delivery and public service provision, such as in transportation, electric power, waste management, health care, and other industries (Broadbent and Iaughlin, 2004; Essig and Batran, 2005; Hodge and Greve, 2007; Wang, 2015; Zhang et al., 2015). Popularity of PPPs is mainly attributed to some inherent efficiency advantages (Grimsey and Lewis, 2007; Hart, 2003; Yang and Wang, 2013). Unlike conventional public procurement, PPP takes an integration of financing, construction, operation and maintenance that granted to private sector. This internalizes previous stage’s external effect to subsequent one, since the private is responsible for the additional

The rapid interest in privatization stroked when all the levels of government economies were persistently challenging in running their operations during last two to three decades of twentieth century (Shirley, 1992). Since then, privatization of public sectors has been a key factor of structural reform programs in both developed and developing countries (Sheshinski & Lopez-Calva, 2003). The process of transferring ownership of public services from the public sector (the part which is controlled by government) to private sectors (the part which is owned and controlled by private party) is called privatization (Investopia, 2013). According to Sarah E. Gollust and Peter D. Jacobson, “privatization is the transfer of decision-making authority,

The term public service can be conceptualized in two ways. First it refers to the body of officials that are involved in the administration of the agencies, services, programmes and policies of the public sector. That is, the public servants that manage the entirety of public services. In the second sense, the concept refers to the organizations, agencies, structures, departments and units which are charged with and involved in public or governmental tasks, activities and functions. These include the Civil Service, Commissions, Boards, Directorates, Parastatals, etc that are publicly owned, funded and directed (Ikelegbe, 1995). The public service as established by

Public administration focuses its resources for the operations which purpose is the creation and enforcement of public policy. The strength of public administration is the formulation of policies, thus conjoining the discipline or study a form of the political process. Inherently, public administration branched from Social Science then into own identity from Political Science. Public administration would not exist without its major contributors, and although, there is a large list of those who contributed to Public Administration the focus of most significant philanthropists are Woodrow Wilson, Frederick Taylor, and Max Weber.

However, the application of public administration government bureaucracies differs from levels and as well in education, which also has an unique format. However, public administration distinguish itself from private administration through several forms of functions.
