Contract Employment -- What are the Alternatives.
Abstract
Military contractual employment is viewed from two aspects. Firstly, attitudes, survey results, and previous studies are examined to determine individual attitudes to contractual terms. Secondly, models of contractual terms are examined to determine effectiveness matched against cost. The study also acknowledges other elements that affect contractual employment, such as vocational choice, legal environment and social norms previaling. The study concluded that although there are strong arguments for reducing or eliminating contracts (for enlistment/reenlistment incentives), the necessity to recoup training and equipping costs remains an overriding consideration. To this end a minimum term of initial enlistment remains necessary. (Author)
