Welfare to Work in Practice : Social Security and Participation in Economic and Social Life, Paperback / softback Book

Welfare to Work in Practice : Social Security and Participation in Economic and Social Life Paperback / softback

Edited by Peter Saunders

Part of the International Studies on Social Security FISS series

Paperback / softback

Description

Welfare to Work in Practice brings together some of the leading international social security experts to discuss the rationale for welfare to work policies, their limitations and problems encountered in practice.

Contributors include Jane Millar, Neil Gilbert, Martin Werding, Jonathan Bradshaw and Einar Overbye, who address topics ranging from the linkages between social security and the labour market to how the welfare to work agenda is responding to the needs of special groups such as lone parents, the long-term unemployed and those with a disability.

The book puts the arguments and ideas that underlie the new welfare reform agenda under the microscope and explains how it is being implemented in an international context.

Several new data sets are analyzed in a collection that covers developments in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Norway, the UK and the US, as well as several comparative studies.

In doing so, this volume helps to bridge the gap between research and policy and demonstrates how policy can respond to the challenges it faces.
