The Welfare State and Life Transitions
The Welfare State and Life Transitions uses the lens of key life stages to highlight changes in these transitions and in available resources for citizen support within nine European welfare states. This timely book reveals that new life courses are found to require more, and not less welfare support, but only Sweden has developed an active life course approach and only three more could be considered supportive, in at least some life stages. For the remainder, policies were at best limited or, in Italy.s case, passive. The contributors reveal that the neglect of changing needs is leading to greater reliance on the family and the labour market, just as these support structures are becoming more unpredictable and moreunequal. They argue that alongside these new class inequalities, new forms of intergenerational inequality are also emerging, particularly in pension provision.
Labour Market Transitions and Time Adjustment Over the Life Course
More people are active in the labor market than ever before, but work is no longer their major focus in life. Many are working part-time, combining paid work with educational opportunities, or are looking for additional leisure time. The transitional labor market approach in science and policy-making looks at the way people make transitions between different areas of their lives. These transitions create questions: Which arrangements help women return to the labor market after spending years raising their children? Is part-time retirement preferable to full-time retirement? Who benefits from leave and other life course arrangements? This books helps answer these and many other questions related to labor market issues
Patterns of Labour Market Integration in Europe - A Life Course Perspective on Time Policies
This article examines the patterns of labour market integration over the life course of men and women in seven European countries. We select a range of household categories coinciding with different phases in the life course and use the European Community Household Panel survey to identify four broad national models, which are associated with different state regimes with regards to 'time policy'. These are the Nordic 'universal breadwinner' model (Sweden) of high participation involving long part-time or full-time hours and high employment continuity for both sexes over the life course; the 'modified breadwinner' model (France) where family formation and motherhood are still associated with ...
Work Patterns and Capital Utilisation
Edmond Malinvaud This book provides a most welcome survey of what statisticians and economists know about an aspect of production that is difficult to precisely characterize but matters a lot for both its importance on economic performance and its social implications. That such a survey is timely cannot be overemphasized; the point is well argued in the introduction to the book, which shows how discussions of the last decades stressed the importance of capital operating time as an economic variable in a series of distinct but interrelated topics, from growth theory to employment policies. Nowadays still more than ever in the past, production not only requires capital as well as labour but al...
