In Bezug auf die Gleichstellung im Management gehören die mittel- und osteuropäischen Länder zu den Vorzeigebeispielen. Dieser Umstand wird oft dem sozialistischen Erbe dieser Länder zugeschrieben, die die Einbindung aller Geschlechter in den Arbeitsprozess propagierten. Inzwischen ist bekannt, dass diese vordergründige Gleichstellung gleichzeitig von konservativen Rollenverteilungen konterkariert wurde. Wie sich das Erbe des Sozialismus in der heutigen Wirtschafts- und Organisationswelt Mittel- und Osteuropas darstellt, ist jedoch nur selten Gegenstand von Wissenschaft und Forschung. Dieser Band präsentiert sieben Studien und eine Forschungsnotiz zu diesem Thema. Die darin enthaltenen...

This first open access book in a series of three volumes provides an in-depth analysis of social protection policies that EU Member States make accessible to resident nationals, non-resident nationals and non-national residents. In doing so, it discusses different scenarios in which the interplay between nationality and residence could lead to inequalities of access to welfare. Each chapter maps the eligibility conditions for accessing social benefits, by paying particular attention to the social entitlements that migrants can claim in host countries and/or export from home countries. The book also identifies and compares recent trends of access to welfare entitlements across five policy areas: health care, unemployment, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. As such this book is a valuable read to researchers, policy makers, government employees and NGO’s.
Contrary to what is suggested in media and popular discourses, Europe is neither a monolithic entity nor simply a collection of nation states. It is, rather, a union of millions of individuals who differ from one another in a variety of ways while also sharing many characteristics associated with their ethnic, social, political, economic, religious or national characteristics. This book explores differences and similarities that exist in attitudes, beliefs and opinions on a range of issues across Europe. Drawing on the extensive data of the European Social Survey, it presents insightful analyses of social attitudes, organised around the themes of religious identity, political identity, family identity and social identity, together with a section on methodological issues. A collection of rigorously analysed studies on national, comparative and pan-European levels, Values and Identities in Europe offers insight into the heart and soul of Europe at a time of unprecedented change. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in social attitudes, social change in Europe, demographics and survey methods.
This comprehensive and innovative book demonstrates the dynamics of welfare policies in different socioeconomic settings by providing comparative analyses of the Baltic and Nordic welfare state systems.
