The Importance of the Equity Concept in the Allocation of Public Services Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The public service delivery process is largely shaped by two related sets of decisions. Allocation decisions determine who gets what; distribution decisions dictate when, where, and how services will be delivered. These decisions are substantially influenced by the concept or standard of equity employed by decision-makers. This article explores alternative concepts of equity and their implications regarding the allocation and marketing of public services.
