内容説明

Social protection systems and labour markets have undergone major changes since the 1970s. Welfare states are being reformed, scaled back and modernized; labour markets are more precarious, more feminized, in some countries more unequal, and throughout the OECD area, older. Understanding the interaction between the two systems is crucial to addressing the challenges of economic growth, social equity and sustainable safety nets. This text presents the work of an interdisciplinary team of leading experts, labour economists, sociologists and political scientists, who examine the links between employment and social protection systems to women's career patterns and the development of social protection that promotes employment. Including selected case studies and comparative chapters, it indicates successful outcomes in matching social protection reforms with labour market changes and the opportunites and risks that underpin them. With practical policy guides and recommendations, this text should be of interest to policy-makers, social actors and academics.

内容説明

Social protection systems and labour markets have undergone major changes in the past two decades. Welfare states are being reformed, scaled back and modernised; labour markets, at the same time, are more precarious, more feminised, more unequal, and throughout the OECD area, older. The interaction between labour markets and social protection has become increasingly crucial to the social and economic policy mix concerning unemployment, the transformation of work, the new poverty, and even demographics. Against this background, an interdisciplinary team of leading labour market and social protection experts from various OECD countries examine the multifaceted aspects of the changing relationship between social protection systems and labour markets. They identify and analyse key emerging issues, such as the link between employment and social protection financing, the adaptation of social protection systems to women's career patterns, and the development of new forms of social protection that aim at promoting employment. With practical policy guides and recommendations using case studies and comparative chapters, this will be engaging reading for policy-makers, social actors and academics alike.
