Guidelines for Policy analysis paper
Critically analyse the following social policies:
• Youth allowance
Use the structure and guidelines below for your assignment.
1. Outline the historical development of the policy including other linked policies (eg Youth Allowance and Work for the Dole ) highlighting key changes (600 words).
You should provide a succinct background to your chosen policy highlighting key changes over time (especially over the past 10-15 years) and very briefly outline the connections/links between your chosen policy and others. You should use a wide range of sources especially from government departments/agencies.
2. Critically discuss key issues and issue drivers identified within the policy and government literature in relation to relevant commentary and scholarly literature. In particular critically examine the core values, beliefs and assumptions underpinning the policy (1,000 words).
Here you need to outline the issues, and issue drivers, that the policy is responding to. You need to research the scholarly literature (including journals) to gain insights into these issues and issue constructions and most importantly the critiques and analyses of the policy by researchers, peak bodies, and other stakeholders.
3. Discuss key findings from evaluation of the policy – including government and non-government evaluations – highlighting strengths and weakness (600 words).

General comments
It is likely that most of you will locate and use a large number and variety of sources – for example, government agency fact sheets and policy statements; media releases; scholarly journal articles and books; reports and evaluation from research groups/centres, and so on. I would expect your reference list to number between 20 – 30 sources however, some sources like fact sheets will be very brief often only a page long.
You must include quality scholarly sources, for example, refereed journal articles and books, typically 6 – 10 sources.

Topic: Final report

Summary: Your final project — your report — is based on your proposal. Because of this, and because this course is required for future teachers, engineers, scientists, and others, each of your reports will be unique. While the specific formats and subjects may vary, all successful projects must be complete, coherent, accurate, well organized, relatively error free, and well formatted.

The length of the BODY of the report should be 8 to 12 pages single spaced. This is a suggested number of pages; fewer pages is not acceptable, but if your work is longer, that is fine. [Note: Front matter is not included in the length requirement for the body of the report. Back matter is no included in the length request unless: 1. It is substantial work, such as lengthy appendix, and 2. You created it.]

Your final project must contain the following:

Letter of Transmittal (this is not the same letter you wrote for your proposal, though the basic format is the same). Do not include it in your Table of Contents.

Front matter:
1.Title page
2.Abstract (on separate page, single spaced). Each term I get last minute emails from students asking what an abstract is. It\’s a kind of summary, but examples are easy to find online, or in journals.
3.Table of Contents with page numbers
4.List of illustrations or figures.

Body: The report proper. This should reflect the book\’s suggestions for formatting and style, and should include graphics that add substance to the paper and don\’t just add space.

Back Matter:
1.Glossary (if needed)
2.Appendix (if needed)

Work Cited Page (MLA format) Do not put it in an appendix.

Most of the above sections of the report are discussed and explained in the book; refer to it for how to do each of these, but email me with any questions you may have.

Your final report should have the appearance of a professional document; part of the grade will be assessed on its appearance. Also, all information that comes from a source, whether is summarized, paraphrased, or quoted, must be cited within the text using MLA citations. There is a link on Blackboard to the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) that shows you how to do that. The book also contains a section on MLA formatting.

Length: The letter of transmittal is one to two pages, the body of the report is eight to twelve pages, and the front and back matter vary but usually add about another six to eight pages.

Format: Again, follow the format discussed in the book for formal reports, and use the example in the book and the one available through the Assignments page as guides. The front and back matter each have their own format, which is also explained in the book. The body of the report should be single-spaced, with one-inch margins. As noted earlier in the term, page lengths are based on Times New Roman 12 point font or on 11 point font for any other font you choose (most fonts are naturally bigger than Times New Roman and are simply too big in 12 point font).

Both musicals were heralded by critics as breakthroughs in the form as well as milestones in connecting current musical trends.

Hair, produced in 1969, and Rent, in 1996, are both rock musicals that used current musical trends to bring in younger audiences to the musical form. Understanding that each show is a relic of its time, which is superior?

Avoid any opinion that incorporates personal experience (example I saw \”Rent\” or the revival of \”Hair\”) simply listen to the recordings of each as a capsule of its era, and then offer an opinion
