This volume deals with the construction of categorizations of health at work on the basis of individuals’ perceptions and analyses of the psychosocial health effects at their work. The volume approaches the subject from the point of view of those who have experienced psychosocial risks at work, either by being under constraints themselves or by being witness to such constraints. Each chapter sheds light on their representations by examining how the individuals label these constraints. The book compares official categorizations of psychosocial health effects of work to unofficial categorizations, built or expressed. It shows how taking into account subjective narratives may reinforce existing strategies. By giving a central place to language in the analysis of the representations of psychosocial health at work, the volume provides additional information about the various prevention and coping strategies that can be used for dealing with the issue. Beyond some international comparisons, the book covers various national case studies, including in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chechnya, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and Russia.

Avec l'expérience et le recul d'une carrière continue dans l'administration sociale et, notamment, à la tête de l'Inspection générale des Affaires sociales, l'auteur nous donne une version renouvelée - et actualisée - de cet ouvrage classique, pour mieux rendre compte : - d'un environnement très évolutif sur les plans institutionnel (la décentralisation, l'Europe sociale, l'emprise croissante de l'État avec l'entrée en jeu, en 1997, du Parlement...), socio-économique (le chômage, la pauvreté et la dégradation des comptes) et technique (le progrès médical affronté à l'éthique, mais aussi à de nouveaux défis, dont la maladie de la vache folle est la plus récente illust...
The essays in this book describe the situation of the elderly today, taking into account the major political, economic, and social variations of service provided in a variety of countries. Although the welfare state exists in all developed and developing countries, its content and administration varies substantially. The editors first develop a framework of concepts and perspectives that establish links between eldercare, distributive justice, and the welfare state. This is followed by analyses of the services provided to the elderly in selected countries. Finally, the editors show how and in what ways the concepts developed earlier in the introduction—equity, uniformity, public accountability, individualism, collectivism, institutional or residual welfare state orientation, "high" or "low" wage economy—apply to and explain the differences in care of the elderly.
