This study reviews changes in the organisation and regulation of public and private employment services in four selected European countries. It was commissioned by the Director General of the Korea Labour Institute (KLI) and the findings have been used to inform a major Korean-language report on 'Change in the Employment Service in Korea: Past, Present and the Future' published in March 2016. The KLI and the Learning and Work Institute recognised that the research could be of value to policy makers and researchers in other countries and have given permission for this revised English-language publication of the full findings from the four selected case study countries.

The report finds that: • In other countries, the devolution of welfare to work spurred local actors to integrate the delivery of employment, training and other services and to improve performance. • Devolution of the Work Programme (WP) and other welfare to work services should be tailored to local governance capacity and should be an explicit aim of City and Growth Deals, rather than a tacit local objective. • There should be further devolution of the working relationship between Jobcentres and local government and more coherent partnership agreements to help facilitate integrated service delivery. • Central accountability and greater local control can be aligned through negotiated agreements, performance reporting systems, and the incentives and sanctions embedded in conditional central funding such as block grants and black box contracts. • Variation in service delivery should be accommodated but welfare to work devolution must be underpinned by transparent national minimum standards, especially where participation is mandatory. • Performance requirements should help shape devolution in ways that are likely to contribute to poverty reduction, and future welfare to work provision should reward job

In its first part, the text examines the evolution of research on demographic dynamics and environmental change in Brazil. While concern for the deforestation of the Amazon region was an important starting point for the concerns of demographers, the first systematic studies dealt with the "brown agenda." It was a question of urban environmental quality which motivated specialists to enter this field. In the second part, the text presents a preliminary analysis of demographic dynamics in the principal ecological formations of Brazil, with considerations on the relationships between processes of population distribution and environmental sustainability.
