内容説明

The countries of the European Community are building a Single Market to go beyond economic integration and embody a social dimension. This, in turn, embraces three key ideas: first, that the fruits of economic progress must be of early and direct benefit to the living and working conditions of the ordinary citizen; second, that there must be specific compensation for the social dislocations which an accelerated pace of economic change will produce and finally, that in a labour market which will become Community-wide, there must be a concomitant "Europeanisation" of workers' rights of industrial citizenship. These developments have been, and will continue to be, the subject of much heated political debate. This series, which brings together academic contributions to these debates, is likely to be of interest to social policy academics, students and policy-makers. The study from which this book has developed was sponsored by the Commission of the European Communities and was undertaken during the Spring of 1987. The study dealt with the debates about new poverty which are taking place in the countries of the community; the availability of statistics on the new poor; and the measures taken recently by governments in direct response to the problem of new poverty. For each country of the community, a consultant provided a report on these topics, within a common framework, and a synthesis report was submitted to the commission for its interal use. With the encouragement of the Commission, an enlarged version of this study has now been prepared to publication, in the name of those who contributed to the original study. However, as well as drawing upon the original new poverty reports, it also makes reference to a range of other research materials which have been completed under the auspices of the commission during 1987-88. The data available for the poorer countries in the south of Europe - Greece, Spain and Portugal - is much more limited than for the north. This limits the analysis. More generally, the data available for comparative poverty research remain rathers limited. The Commission's efforts to develop improved systems for harmonized data collection are therefore of considerable potential importance.
