Across the traditional welfare states of Europe, Australia, New
Zealand and Canada there has been increasing emphasis on
'activation' by the unemployed as a tool for fighting unemployment.
The core idea of activation programmes is the integration and
empowerment of jobseekers through active work-related measures
rather than passive income support. However, the empirical evidence
of the efficacy of activation programmes is far from conclusive and
there have been no systematic studies of the effects of activation
programmes on the lives of the unemployed people who come into
contact with them. This book is based on a detailed ethnographic
study of the highly praised Swedish rehabilitation organization
Samhall. The result is a key volume for those working and studying
within welfare, poverty, disability and special needs.
