Items related to Welfare Regimes and the Experience of Unemployment...
The is the first major study to examine the implications of different welfare regimes for the experience of unemployment in Europe. It addresses three central questions. How far do such regimes protect unemployed people from poverty and financial hardship? Do they reduce or accentuate the tendencies for progressive marginalization from employment that may arise from motivational change, skill loss or the growth of discriminatory barriers? Finally, to what extent do they affect the social integration of unemployed people, in particular with respect to their social networks and psychological well-being?
The book is based on a major cross-cultural research programme funded by the European Union. In addition to systematic comparison of national data, it uses a new important data source - the European Community Household Panel - which provides directly comparable information for most of the EU countries.
The study shows that institutional and cultural differences have vital implications for the experience of unemployment. While welfare policies affect in an important way the pervasiveness of poverty, it is above all the patterns of family structure and the culture of sociability in a society that affect vulnerability to social isolation. The book concludes by developing a new perspective for understanding the risk of social exclusion.

Review:
This book is a comprehensive study of unemployment experiences in Europe, both in terms of its thematic variety and the number of countries included. The results are based on representative micro data comparable between all countries studied. The authors make efficient use of this information using state of the art statistical methodology. There is no doubt that this study advances our understanding of the social regulation of unemployment (European Sociological Review 18/06/2002)
About the Author:
