This book compares workfare policies in the United States and
'active labor policies' in Western Europe that are aimed primarily
at the long-term unemployed, unemployed youth, lone parents,
immigrants and other vulnerable groups often referred to
collectively as the 'socially excluded'. The Europeans maintain
that workfare is the best method of bringing the socially excluded
back into mainstream society. Although there are differences in
terms of ideology and practice, Joel F. Handler argues that there
are also significant similarities, especially field-level practices
that serve to exclude those who are the least employable or lack
other qualifications that agencies favor. The author also examines
strategies for reform, including protective labor legislation, the
Open Method of Coordination, the reform of social and employment
services, and concludes with an argument for a basic income
guarantee, which would not only alleviate poverty but also provide
clients with an exit option.
