- Synopsis
- Social equity - While a pillar of the field alongside efficiency, economy, and effectiveness, it is one of the least understood concepts in public administration. It refers to the need for public services to be fair for all in terms of access, processes, quality, and outcomes. Whether in classrooms or in the field, we often ask "What does fairness mean in X circumstance?" or "Who decides what is fair?" or "Beyond understanding problems of social equity, what are promising solutions?" This book's purpose is to teach public service professionals how to address these questions. The book provides foundational knowledge for the institutionalization of social equity in all aspects of public service endeavors. Prepared for instructors who want to provide coverage of social equity in their courses, it is written for students who care about public service and want to learn how to apply a social equity lens throughout their careers.
