Industrial Development and the Social Fabric
In this timely collection of essays, leading American and German
scholars analyse immigrant incorporation into the welfare state
from a comparative economic, social, and political viewpoint by
applying data from the 1980s and 1990s. New insights are revealed
into how ethnic stratification and socioeconomic integration is
promoted by specific programs and other institutionalized policies
in education, labour markets, and welfare. This volume will be an
important resource not only to scholars and students in economics
and the social and political sciences, but also for professionals
in education, social work, journalism, politics, and community
groups.
The contributions of this collected volume are the result of a call
for papers. The authors met and discussed their drafts at the
workshop "Inequality in Europe," organized by the editors. The
workshop was sponsored by the "Population Economics" section of the
German Association for Demography ("Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer
Bevoelkerungs wissenschafl" - DGBw) and by the
"Josef-Popper-Naehrpflicht" Foundation. The aim of this foundation,
located at the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-University of Frankfurt am
Main, is to support research dealing with problems of achieving a
"reasonable" standard of living. Originally the aim of the
foundation was to further the notion of a guaranteed minimum income
("allgemeine Naehrpjlicht"). The publication of this book is also
sponsored by this foundation. The workshop was held at the
"Evangelische Akademie Arnoldshain," near Frankfurt am Main. The
helpful discussions during the workshop benefitted greatly from the
friendly atmosphere of the academy. Some of the articles were
financially supported by the "Panel Comparability" Project (PACO),
located at CEPS (Centre d'Etudes de Populations, de Pauvrete et de
Politiques Socio-Economiques) in Luxembourg. PACO is a joint
activity of the German Institute for Economic Research (DrW) in
Berlin, CEPS and some other institutions in European countries. It
is sponsored by grant No. ERBCHRX-CT92- 0037 ("European Network on
Longitudinal Household Panel Studies Meeting Technology Requirement
for Comparative Research") of the "Human Capital and Mobility"
program of the Commission of the European Community."
In der Offentlichkeit wird der Erwerbstatigkeit von Frauen die
Schuld an den sehr niedrigen Geburtenhaufigkeiten in der
Bundesrepublik gegeben. Der vorliegende Band legt eine Reihe von
soziologischen und okonomischen Aufsatzen vor, die dieser popularen
These widersprechen. Insbesondere wird gezeigt, dass eine
Familienpolitik, die nur die Mutterrolle (finanziell) unterstutzt,
zum Scheitern verurteilt ist. Fur viele Frauen ist Erwerbstatigkeit
unverzichtbar geworden. Gleichzeitig gibt es aber Kinderwunsche.
Deswegen ist eine Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik, insbesondere eine
Arbeitspolitik, die die Vereinbarkeit von Erwerbstatigkeit und
Kindererziehung erleichtert, die beste Familienpolitik.
