Groundbreaking economic policies ''could drive European public sector''

Groundbreaking economic policies ''could drive European public sector''More needs to be done in Europe to modernise and improve the region's public sector, it has been claimed.

A new report by the Government of the Future Centre advocates a range of strategies that it claims would substantially increase economic growth and job creation if implemented.

These include pressing ahead with measures that will catalyse innovation, enhancing social progress, adopting technology to boost interactions and overhauling procurement processes.

Adopting such approaches across Europe could generate 15 million jobs by 2020 and push up economic growth over the next ten years to eight per cent.

The organisation advises that adopting a policy of continuous improvement across the public sector would see it outstrip current estimates through reforms such as improved health and social care delivery or reducing waste.

"The creation of a culture of innovation within governments can become the stimulus for operating models which are both more effective and more efficient," College of Europe director of political and administrative studies Professor Jorg Monar said.

A recent study by Deloitte suggested Britain's public sector should do more to deliver services online in order to offer support and information more efficiently.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800546516-ADNFCR
