Changing Labour Markets, Welfare Policies and Citizenship

By: Per H. Jenson

Changing labour markets, welfare policies and citizenship readdresses the question of how full citizenship may be preserved and developed in the face of enduring labour market pressures. It:

clarifies the relationship between changing labour markets, welfare policies and citizenship;

discusses possible ways in which the spill-over effect from labour market marginality to loss of citizenship can be prevented;

specifies this problem in relation to the young, older people, men and women and immigrants;

offers theoretical and conceptual definitions of citizenship as a new, alternative approach to empirical analyses of labour market marginalisation and its consequences;

highlights the lessons to be learned from differing approaches in European countries.
