ACTIVE SOCIAL POLICIES IN THE EU
Inclusion through participation?
Edited by Rik van Berkel, Faculty of Social Sciences, Utrecht
University, the Netherlands and Iver Hornemann Moller, Centre for
Social Integration and Differentiation, Denmark
There is an increasing emphasis on activation and participation in
European social welfare policy. This book challenges the underlying
presupposition that regular employment is the royal road to inclusion.
Drawing on original empirical research, it investigates the
inclusionary and exclusionary potentials of different types of work,
including activation programmes.
