and during this period the parents are even paid maintenance. The intensive support

The »production house« has the function of integrating into the work process unemployed
persons who cannot be placed due to cultural or linguistic handicaps.
Language courses and courses preparing people for work using in-house production
facilities in collaboration with cooperative businesses have eventually resulted
in an integration rate of 85 per cent of the persons involved in the scheme.
In order to prepare itself for the increasing number of senior citizens Farum has in
recent years provided a wide range of accommodation suitable for elderly people.
This range includes appropriate flats within new housing developments as well as
senior citizens’ homes providing a varied supply of integrated external services.
Delegation of Responsibility
Facilities in Farum have largely been granted budgetary freedom. The determination
of the budget estimates is usually output-oriented. The facilities may transfer
budget funds not spent to the following year and shift them among the various
types of expenditure. They are not permitted, however, to employ additional staff
or pay higher remunerations.
Certain functions in Farum have been fully transferred to private operators. This
includes the extension and operation of the local sewage treatment plant.
Staff Potentials
The reduction of the central administrative organization and the extensive delegation
of decision-making to local facilities has resulted in a generally flat hierarchy
in Farum.
Manpower reduction was accompanied by individual job guarantees for the existing
staff. All remaining staff in central administration were given special training.
