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."--Provided by publisher.International studies on social security.Social security beneficiariesEmploymentWelfare recipientsEmploymentSocial security beneficiariesEmployment.Welfare recipientsEmployment.362.5/84Saunders Peter1948-FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910796658703321Welfare to work in practice3811200UNINA
