"Beyond the Workfare State" explores equality, discrimination and
human rights in relation to employability and 'welfare-to-work'
policies. It draws extensively on new research from the SEQUAL
Project, undertaken for the European Social Fund, which
investigated seven dimensions of discrimination in a labour market
that is in theory 'open to all'. The book provides an overall
analysis of policy shifts and presents a wide and distinctive range
of illustrative studies that give voice to a variety of potentially
marginalised groups. Chapters deal with obstacles to labour-market
access around each of the following themes: gender and class;
disability; race and ethnicity; geographical exclusion; sexual
orientation; the problems of old and young people; and refugees.
The authors draw attention to localised examples of promising
practice, but also connect these to a broader 'human rights'
agenda, linking them to changing legislative and governance
frameworks. Its scope covers the whole of Great Britain and it
shows how devolution in Scotland and Wales, and at the regional
level in England, is creating new possibilities for mainstreaming
good practice in this key area. The book will be of great interest
to academics and students in social policy and related fields. It
will also be valuable for professionals, policy makers and
practitioners in the regeneration, community development and
anti-discrimination fields, particularly in the UK but also in
Europe and beyond.
