A key
role for the private sector is the creation of jobs, particularly for
local people. “Many of the projects constitute a force of attraction for
smaller developers and above all help in the creation of new jobs. The
private sector is a main economy generator at both local and national
level.” (Malta) “Creates jobs – new businesses; relocates because the
area is seen as “on the up” (Glasgow) “…The building contractor made a
special agreement with the municipality giving the possibility for
several local inhabitants to be temporary employed…A private company
carrying out a hotel in the area, and guarantee some jobs for local
inhabitants..” (Lisbon)
(see
appendix 4, Cities’ case studies)
While
the private sector is the employer, the public sector’s role in the
employment partnerships is often about job search, training and skill
development. |
