Answer:
Public policies are primarily involuntary and compulsory actions while private actions are voluntary.
Explanation:
The difference between a public policy and private action is that public policies are primarily involuntary and compulsory actions while private actions are voluntary.
As we know public policies are made by the government, therefore, they are mandatory actions that every organization, individuals, firms, etc. should adhere to. On the other hand, private actions pertain only to those group of interested organization, individuals, firms, etc.
For example, when a public policy that establishes that every private enterprise must provide medical reimbursement to its employees, it becomes mandatory for all private enterprise to adhere to it.
However, in case of a private action, there are no such collective establishments/rules that every organization, individuals, firms, etc.must adhere. Every action undertaken by a private party are voluntary and only those interested follow them.
