Welfare-to-work or activation policies refer to programmes aimed at
promoting the employability, labour-market and social participation
of benefit recipients of working age. Frontline workers delivering
these policies are conceived of as policy implementers, as policy
makers, and as actors mediating politics in an arena where
conflicting interests are at stake. Frontline work plays a crucial
role in determining what welfare-to-work practically means and how
it affects the lives of the people it targets. Yet few books have
deliberatively focused on comparing what happens when frontline
workers, some of whom are professional social workers, meet
clients. Pioneering the provision of scholarly reflections on both
theoretical and policy relevance of studying frontline practices of
delivering activation, internationally renowned researchers present
the first comparative analysis of how activation policies are
actually delivered by frontline staff in selected EU countries and
in the United States. In trying to understand and interpret
frontline practices in activation, each contribution provides
insights into what 'activation in practice' looks like, what
services are provided and how they are enacted. This involves
examining processes of client selection, monitoring, sanctioning
and motivating, as well as the role of external service providers.
This book is an important acquisition for scholars and researchers
of social policy, public administration, public management, social
work and policy implementation.
