Active Labour Market Policies and Welfare Reform

Explore the thought-provoking insights of Active Labour Market Policies and Welfare Reform by A. Daguerre, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2007. This compelling 191-page paperback delves into the recent policy responses to social exclusion across the US, France, Denmark, the UK, and the EU since 1997. Daguerre critically examines the effectiveness of active labour market policies, arguing that they may not be the solution to social issues and highlighting a concerning shift towards conditional welfare. Drawing on in-depth interviews with key policymakers, this book provides a unique perspective on the challenges and implications of welfare reform. Whether you are a student, researcher, or policy enthusiast, this first edition is an essential addition to your library.
