Public-private partnerships do not always lead to lower user prices.
Public-private partnerships can improve public services and quality of life. The study looked at examples from different countries and found that private sector involvement doesn't always lead to better use of resources or lower prices. Instead, user prices are more closely linked to organizational costs. This challenges the idea that private sector involvement always improves public services. In the future, balancing budgets and improving job opportunities will require a focus on the public sector.
