Mutual trust: an alternative to
mutual obligation in overseas aid
Also available: abridged version
of this paper
AusAID's current review of Australia's aid program
and the government's announcement to double its development assistance
level by 2010 are both potentially positive steps toward a fairer
arrangement for developing countries. However, as the government
considers the recommendations in AusAID's interim report in light
of its new commitment, it should resist the temptation to import
'mutual obligation' to its development assistance program.

Training for work is more effective
than working for the dole
This paper investigates Australia's 'mutual obligation'
policies for the unemployed, and makes a comparison with the US,
the UK and Denmark. The focus of this investigation is whether 'work
first' strategies or labour market training programs are more effective
at reducing long-term unemployment. The findings of this paper suggest
that policies that encourage greater social investment in the long-term
unemployed, within an activity requirement framework, are the most
effective at reducing persistent unemployment.

CDEP: 'Mutual obligation' that
works
Author: Valentin Di Sisto (Uniya). Date:
March 2006
With its emphasis on correlative responsibilities or obligations
in return for pay, the Community Development Employment Project
(CDEP) is often said to encompass elements of the principle of 'mutual
obligation', even though the scheme preceded the concept by two
decades.
