The role of the Non Custodial Parent (NCP) in the life of a child has been and continues to be a challenging social dilemma. For over a century, the United States government has struggled with how to insure the welfare of children when one of the parents is absent from that child's life. A continually evolving social policy, Child Support Enforcement (CSE) was strengthened in 1996 to enforce the absent parents financial responsibility for the child, offsetting the expense of public assistance. This project explored the employment strategies that would promote the capacity of absent fathers to support their children. A qualitative thematic synthesis was conducted using four national demonstration projects that explored strategies to promote employment, improved relationship with the child and an increased participation in Child Support Enforcement services. Final reports of each of the projects was reviewed, coded for service tasks and then analyzed to develop themes from which to draw conclusions on best practice strategies to support NCP's. Findings indicated that case management services and peer support through content focused education groups provided value to the struggles of NCP's. Participants reported becoming better parents, CSE offices showed improved participation and employment/ personal income increased for the most challenged NCP's. This research can be used as a guide to improve local child support work to promote the better welfare of children.

The relevance of the research topic is explained by the negative impact of integration agreements, in particular the free trade ones, on the list of instruments that the state can use to implement its economic policy in the field of foreign economic activity, in particular - on the list of customs instruments. There is a steady global increase in international trade, coupled with the tendency to gradually reduce trade barriers by most countries. Strengthening integration processes negatively influence the breadth of influence and the list of customs instruments of economic regulation. Given the socio-economic and environmental risks that arise in the absence or lack of state regulation of economic processes, it is important to ensure the effectiveness of those instruments that may still be used under the terms of integration agreements. Additionally, the attention to the customs instruments is increasing in the context of the «economic patriotism» that is becoming popular in USA, Europe and other countries, together with the criticism of the neoliberalism. The coverage of the issue in the works of domestic and foreign scholars is sporadic in nature and is usually tied to the problem of a particular market or industry in a particular agreement. In the last years before the ratification of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, as well as in the first years after, T. Ostashko studied the potential effects of that agreement on the instruments of regulation of certain sectors of the economy of Ukraine. From the point of view of generalization of the practice of state regulation of economy in the European integration processes, it is possible to mention V. Olefir and O. Mitchenok which covers the experience of Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Africa, America and the Middle East. The above studies do not consider separate institutes of state regulation of the economy, in particular customs instruments, at a deeper level, focusing on the direct economic processes and the impact of increasing the freedom of trade turnover on national production. The research objective is to analyse the essence and impact of international economic processes on customs instruments for the implementation of the state economic policy in order to develop proposals for the effective use of these instruments. The theoretical and empirical methods of cognition in their dialectical combination are used in this work. In the analysis of existing integration processes, statistical and economic methods, in particular, comparisons, graphic constructions, as well as methods of descriptive and comparative statistics are used. Comparative methods, methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, and also the system method are used to determine the ways of efficient use of customs instruments. system method is used. The dynamics of the development of integration processes and the influence of their various types on the customs instruments both in general and in separate branches are revealed in the framework of this research. The international experience of using customs instruments in these conditions is investigated and the most effective ones are highlighted. The results of this research can be applied in the process of formulating the state economic policies, in particular in the context of international economic activities, food security, protection of the national agri-food market and its elements, support of the national manufacturers. The research has demonstrated that in the framework of the WTO effective applied tariffs may be effectively utilized by approximation to the bound tariffs. Within the framework of bilateral and multilateral agreements, the institute of tariff quote is an effective tool, due to flexibility and potential directions of application, Increasing the country's participation in regional and bilateral trade agreements, albeit with the risk of creating a complicated regulatory «stew» and trade intervention, leaves a sufficient number of customs tools for effective implementation of the state regulation of economy.

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a highly effective model of employment support for individuals with severe mental health conditions. Its potential modification for new settings and larger cohorts is of keen interest across advanced economies given shared health-related (un)employment challenges. Despite mushrooming policy interest and activity around modified IPS a significant barrier and risk at present is the absence of a well-considered analytical framework to enable structured critical reflection about the effective translation of IPS principles and fidelity into modified IPS services. This article fills this void through the presentation for the first time in the literature of such an analytical framework, unpacking as it does so a set of key original analytical distinctions that are unhelpfully homogenised in current literature and policy thinking and highlighting the wider potential of IPS principles and models to the nature of good employment support for other individuals with health conditions and disabilities.

El escenario surgido tras la crisis ha generado la necesidad de reflexionar sobre las diferentes estrategias de orientación laboral y las variables relacionadas con la búsqueda de empleo. Este análisis debe también contar con la percepción que el propio usuario de la orientación laboral tiene acerca de la utilidad de esta política de empleo. Este trabajo analiza las expectativas que tiene la persona desempleada cuando acude a un servicio de orientación laboral, y en qué medida estas expectativas se ven realizadas al finalizar el proceso de orientación. Por último, se trata de poner en relación estas dimensiones con la propia satisfacción de los usuarios con la orientación recibida. La investigación se llevó a cabo en una muestra de personas desempleadas que acudían a recibir orientación laboral al Servicio Público de Empleo de Andalucía. ; Krisiaren ostean sortutako agertokiak lana aurkitzeko aldagaien eta laneko orientabide estrategia desberdinen gaineko hausnarketaren beharra ekarri du. Azterketa horrek, laneko orientabidearen erabiltzaileak enplegu politika horren erabilgarritasunaren gainean duen pertzepzioa ere eduki behar du. Lan honek langabezian dagoen pertsonak laneko orientabide zerbitzu batera jotzen duenean espero duena aztertzen du. Orientazio prozesua bukatzean espero duena zenbateraino betetzen den ere aztertzen du. Azkenik, erabiltzaileak berak jasotako orientabidearekiko duen gogobetetzea dimentsio horiekin erlazionatzeko ahalegina egiten da. Ikerketa Andaluziako Enpleguaren Zerbitzu Publikora orientazio bila joaten zen langabeen lagin batean burutu zen. ; The scenario after the crisis has generated the need to reflect on the different strategies of job guidance, and on the variables related to job search. This analysis should also need to take into account the user perception about the usefulness of this job creation policy. This is the main objective of the paper, as well as to analyze the expectations that unemployed have when they go to a job guidance service, and to what extent these expectations are met at the end of the guidance process. Finally, we compare connect these dimensions with users self-satisfaction about guidance service. The research was conducted on a sample of unemployed people who came to receive career guidance to the Public Employment Service of Andalusia.
