'For the modern welfare state support' for those who are out of
work through no fault of their own remains a foundation stone. Now,
however, under pressure form market-driven ideology focused on
business performance, its composition and the way support is
delivered is in a state of flux. With the avowed objective of
minimizing dependence on social benefits and increasing labour
market efficiency, many national policies with varying degrees of
thoroughness are shifting from a bureaucratic approach to some form
of contract arrangement that demands a higher level of personal
responsibility from the unemployed worker. The contractualisation
process is usually administered through a 'reintegration service'
that may be partly or wholly privatised. This remarkable book is
the first comparative in-depth study of the process of
contractualisation. It offers seventeen penetrating analyses, by
leading labour market and labour law authorities, of recent policy
initiatives to activate employment by contract and the implications
of these initiatives from both legal and a socioeconomic
perspective. Among the issue explored are the following:
motivation, mobility, and flexibility in the labour market; effect
of contractualisation on public accountability and responsibility;
effect on the individual's statutory relationship under social
security; whether and to what extent the conditions on which one
country successfully introduces contractualisation apply to other
countries; and, the unemployed individual as 'contract partner':
What conditions can he or she set? The analyses focus on experience
with contracts as service deliverance in the labour markets of
eight countries: Australia, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands,
Belgium, France, Germany, and Finland. Because a certain measure of
experience has already been built up by governments, providers, and
clients, now is the time to try and learn form good as well as bad
practices in order to build coherent institutional frameworks to
help the unemployed. This book is sure to bring insight and
effectiveness to the work of professionals, officials, and
politicians in this policy field, and will be of special practical
value to labour law practitioners, academic researchers and
libraries, trade unions, policymakers, and corporate counsel.
