Brings together the analysis of older, mostly local welfare
policies (including their legal framings and their change over
time) with the history of social policy developed by the state and
operated at a national level. Explores also the interaction of
various layers of and actors in welfare policy, i.e. of poor
relief, social reform policies and the unfolding welfare state over
time, including often neglected elements of these policies such as
for instance protective policies at the work place, housing policy,
child protection, and prostitution policies. Making innovative use
of legal, quantitative, and other material, the author describes
how policies of inclusion into and exclusion from access to social
insurance coverage shaped social relations within and beyond the
world of work. The study demonstrates how definitions of what
constituted need have served historically to produce divergent
visions and treatment of male and female poverty, and how these
historical biases have continued to shape and biased the conceptual
apparatus of research into the history of welfare and social
policies.
