Download or read book Droit au travail et politiques d activation des personnes sans emploi written by Elise Dermine and published by Emile Bruylant. This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis le début des années 1990, les pays industrialisés cherchent à promouvoir le retour au travail des allocataires sociaux et multiplient les réformes visant à les "activer". On observe une tendance lourde au renforcement des obligations liées au travail, pouvant aller jusqu'à l'instauration de programmes de travail obligatoires. L'activation peut également passer par le développement d'aides à la recherche d'emploi, de formations ou de stages professionnels. L'ouvrage propose une analyse inédite de l'ensemble de ces mesures sous le prisme des droits humains, plus particulièrement du droit au travail. Ces mesures favorisent-elles la réalisation du droit au travail ou constituent-elles une restriction à la liberté de choisir son emploi ? Pour répondre à cette question, l'auteure procède à une analyse systématique et rigoureuse de la jurisprudence internationale relative au droit au travail. Ce corpus jurisprudentiel, rarement exploité et peu connu des praticiens, se révèle particulièrement fécond, notamment parce que le droit au travail comprend le libre choix de l'emploi et l'interdiction du travail forcé. L'auteure mène parallèlement une réflexion théorique sur le rôle et le pouvoir d'action des droits humains. Le recours aux droits sociaux se meut, pour l'essentiel, dans une logique défensive des acquis du modèle social. Face à la crise de l'Etat-providence, l'auteure propose de se détacher de cette approche et de mobiliser les droits humains comme cadre de discussion, d'apprentissage et de recomposition progressive des politiques sociales. Elle combine les apports de deux théories contemporaines, l'expérimentalisme démocratique de Michael Dorf et Charles Sabel et l'approche par les capacités d'Amartya Sen, pour proposer une théorie pratique de la fonction jurisprudentielle, qui reconnecte les droits et le politique, en vue d'assurer une transformation démocratique du modèle social sous l'égide des droits.

Download or read book Labour Law Utopias written by Nicolas Bueno and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour Law Utopias: Post-Growth & Post-Productive Work Approaches engages with new socioeconomic ideas that look beyond the current growth-driven competitive market economy. Building on analysis of economic growth, as well as the limits of the logic of human productivity and competitivity for workers and the environment, it explores alternative approaches and what those will mean for work in general, and labour law in particular. The concept of 'post-growth' is used to rethink the purpose of the economy by looking beyond merely increasing wealth, consumption, and production, considering what this means for the position of work in society as well as the individual worker. The post-productive work approach is used to question the centrality of economically productive work and its regulation in labour laws. The chapters in this book take a progressive approach and discuss whether and how labour law can contribute to the emancipation of work from the constraints of growth and productivity by revisiting the value, organization, and impact of work. With these utopian ideas for labour law, the contributions in this book present inspirational 'dots on the horizon' that could guide the direction of changes in labour law as it navigates issues such as the implementation of digital and green solutions, the energy crisis, migration, rising inequality, and precariousness.

Book excerpt: Epdf available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence In our society, a wealthy minority flourish, while around one-fifth experience chronic poverty and many people on middle incomes fear for their futures. Social policy has failed to find answers to these problems and there is now a demand for a new narrative to enable us to escape from the crisis in our society. With the aim of ending poverty, this book argues that we need to start with the society we want, rather than framing poverty as a problem to be solved. It calls for a bold forward-looking social policy that addresses continuing aust.
Download or read book Le retour des demandeurs d emploi indemnis s sur le march du travail written by Ludivine Epiard and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 1064 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La constitutionnalisation du droit au travail a permis la reconnaissance de la responsabilité de l'État envers les personnes sans emploi, et donné un fondement au système d'indemnisation du chômage. Mais, en 1958 avec le premier régime d'assurance chômage obligatoire, cette responsabilité a été transférée en partie vers les partenaires sociaux. Cependant, dès les années 80, le régime a fait l'objet de critiques portant sur ses effets désincitatifs au retour à l'emploi. Sous l'influence de l'OCDE et de l'UE prônant une activation des dépenses passives de l'assurance chômage, le régime français d'assurance chômage a progressivement été réformé et l'aide au retour l'emploi est devenue une mission fondamentale. Cette mutation a entraîné au sein du droit du chômage, la pénétration d'une logique de contrepartie et la mise en exergue du devoir de travailler. Comme le démontrent les textes conventionnels et légaux, elle a engendré une responsabilisation des chômeurs indemnisés face au risque chômage. Conformément aux expériences menées dans certains pays de l'UE, cela s'est notamment traduit par une obligation implicite de moyens portant sur le retour vers l'emploi, comme l'illustrent le durcissement des conditions légales d'indemnisation, la contractualisation des liens unissant les chômeurs au service public de l'emploi ou les mesures de reclassement destinées à mettre en adéquation l'offre et la demande d'emploi. Cette réforme de l'assurance chômage soulève par conséquent diverses questions d'ordre juridique, relatives à l'impact de la politique d'incitation au retour à l'emploi, tant sur le régime d'assurance chômage que sur le statut des demandeurs d'emploi indemnisés.
Download or read book L aide au conditionnel written by Pascale Dufour and published by PUM. This book was released on 2003 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les politiques de soutien qui visent les sans-emploi sont de plus en plus souvent assorties de conditions que l'on regroupe sous le terme de contrepartie. Ces politiques dites « actives » font appel à la responsabilité des personnes et imposent des conditions plus ou moins contraignantes. Parallèlement, l'aide tend à devenir moins généreuse. Ce livre étudie la transformation de ces politiques dans six pays : le Canada, les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni, la France, l'Allemagne et le Danemark. Cette étude comparative transversale fait ressortir les relations entre les sans-emploi et l'État, le marché du travail et l'environnement social. La contrepartie témoigne de la transformation de l'action sociale des États. La situation varie beaucoup d'un pays à l'autre, et ces différences sont révélatrices de tendances plus larges à l'oeuvre dans les politiques sociales. On trouve d'un côté des pays qui organisent le traitement des sans-emploi sous un mode plutôt collectif et de l'autre, des pays où l'individu et la sanction du marché constituent la référence première. Par ailleurs, si l'intervention de l'État passe de plus en plus par un soutien aux familles, celui-ci varie beaucoup au point d'apparaître comme la dimension la plus discriminante des nouvelles politiques sociales. Ce livre propose une analyse systématique des logiques d'intervention qui façonnent ces nouvelles formes de protection sociale. Il s'adresse non seulement aux chercheurs, mais aussi aux professionnels qui interviennent auprès des personnes sans emploi et aux décideurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jamais une proposition n'a été avancée pour éradiquer en totalité le chômage et l'exclusion. En quinze ans, quatre-vingts mesures ont été expérimentées sans succès. Comment combattre cette angoissante question ? Dans ce livre, l'auteur expose une idée originale et efficace, résultant d'une approche nouvelle du problème. Le but est d'éliminer complètement l'exclusion. Après une étude détaillée de la situation actuelle dans notre pays et à l'étranger sur les résultats des mesures appliquées et sur l'évolution probable, il met en évidence l'impossibilité, pour notre pays, de continuer à accepter que des millions de personnes passent une grande partie de leur vie à chercher vainement un travail. Il faut inventer autre chose. Partant que l'idée que le travail est un droit au même titre que le droit à l'enseignement ou à la santé, la conclusion est qu'un travail minimum peut et doit être garanti à tous les citoyens désireux de travailler. Il est possible de réaliser cette réforme ambitieuse et, nécessaire. Ce livre le prouve.
Download or read book Frontline Delivery of Welfare to Work Policies in Europe written by Rik van Berkel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Cette thèse a pour objectif de saisir les modalités d'intervention de Pôle emploi sur le marché du travail, depuis sa naissance en 2009. Au sein de l'opérateur public de placement, les interactions entre le travail des gestionnaires et celui des conseillers constituent le cœur de cette recherche. Testant l'hypothèse selon laquelle les réformes successives des administrations auraient modifié le statut du chiffre dans l'action publique, l'auteur étudie les mécanismes par lesquels l'Etat s'autorise à objectiver les résultats de son intervention sur le marché du travail. Fondé sur une observation du travail d'accompagnement et sur des entretiens avec les cadres de Pôle Emploi, ce travail éclaire les pratiques quotidiennes de mesure de l'efficacité de l'Etat. Deux pressions s'exercent sur les agents de Pôle emploi : l'une provient des objectifs imposés par les tutelles et l'autre de l'augmentation du nombre de demandeurs d'emploi. L'enquête analyse les bricolages élaborés par les agents pour résoudre ces tensions. L'activité des conseillers à l'emploi apparaît, sous cet angle, comme un travail de catégorisation visant à valoriser chacun des 5,5 millions d'inscrits dans trois langages distincts : celui du marché, celui des prestations d'aide à la recherche d'emploi et celui du droit du travail. Les conseillers éprouvent alors la contradiction entre l'individualisation des politiques d'activation des dépenses de chômage et le caractère collectif du sous-emploi actuel. Cette thèse rend ainsi intelligible le décalage entre le volontarisme politique en matière de lutte contre le chômage et le sentiment d'impuissance des agents de l'Etat mandatés pour mener cette lutte.

Download or read book From Manual Workers to Wage Laborers written by Robert Castel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this monumental book, sociologist Robert Castel reconstructs the history of what he calls "the social question," or the ways in which both labor and social welfare have been organized from the Middle Ages onward to contemporary industrial society. Throughout, the author identifies two constants bearing directly on the question of who is entitled to relief and who can be excluded: the degree of embeddedness in any given community and the ability to work. Along this dual axis the author locates virtually the entire history of social welfare in early-modern and contemporary Europe.This work is a systematic defense of the meaningfulness of the category of "the social," written in the tradition of Foucault, Durkheim, and Marx. Castel imaginatively builds on Durkheim's insight into the essentially social basis of work and welfare. Castel populates his sociological framework with vivid characterizations of the transient lives of the "disaffiliated": those colorful itinerants whose very existence proved such a threat to the social fabric of early-modern Europe. Not surprisingly, he discovers that the cruel and punitive measures often directed against these marginal figures are deeply implicated in the techniques and institutions of power and social control.The author also treats the flipside of the problem of social assistance: namely, matters of work and wage-labor. Castel brilliantly reveals how the seemingly objective line of demarcation between able-bodied beggars those who are capable of work but who chose not to do so and those who are truly disabled becomes stretched in modernity to make room for the category of the "working poor." It is the novel crisis posed by those masses of population who are unable to maintain themselves by their labor alone that most deeply challenges modern societies and forges recognizably modern policies of social assistance.The author's gloss on the social question also offers us valuable perspectives on contempo
Download or read book Achieving Social Cohesion in a Multicultural Europe written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from considering the integration problems faced by migrants to be the result of alleged «cultural incompatibility, the articles and conversations in this volume reflect on the combined effects of exclusion stemming from social policy and policy on immigration, employment and nationality. Furthermore, as «intercultural competencies developed in certain hospitals and schools have clearly shown, there are other, much more effective strategies for treating differences in a favourable light which make social rights more accessible to all. These alternative approaches can effectively help to foster social cohesion only if migrants themselves are committed to them, in particular as recognised political players in the European public arena.
Download or read book Active social policies in the EU written by van Berkel, Rik and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2002-09-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the underlying presupposition that regular employment is the royal road to inclusion. Drawing on original empirical research, it investigates the inclusionary and exclusionary potentials of different types of work, including activation programmes. Active social policies in the EU makes an important contribution to the debates in this area by: reporting on original international comparative research; reflecting on and critically assessing current activating policies; evaluating the consequences of these policies, as well as challenging the premises they are based on; including the perspectives of service users in its analyses; offering recommendations for the future design of activating policies. The book will be invaluable for students, lecturers and researchers of social and labour market policies and policy makers. It is essential reading for those interested in issues of inclusion, activation and the role of types of work in promoting inclusion.
Download or read book Resisting Marginalization written by Duncan Gallie and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book breaks new ground by bringing together recent research into the determinants of marginalization risks for the unemployed and research into new social policies for combating marginalization. It examines the major controversies about how far entrapment in unemployment is due to resource constraints, motivational problems, or skill deficiency. It examines the forms that new policies have taken, the way they vary between EU countries, and the effects they have had on the life experiences of the unemployed. Its central concern is how far the new policies developed in the 1990s, in particular the spread of activation and welfare-to-work policies, address the major sources of vulnerability of the unemployed. The chapters draw on the results of a number of major comparative research programmes funded by the European Commission. These provide for the first time rigorous comparative data across a range of different countries. They bring together the insights of researchers from different disciplines: economists, jurists, social-psychologists, and social policy analysts. The book shows that while the new policy initiatives helped to mitigate the severity of the experience of unemployment, they were far from providing an adequate response to the underlying factors that put people at risk of marginalization. These were primarily due to skill deficiencies that were rooted in disadvantages that people experienced when they were young and in the persisting inequalities in training opportunities during people's work careers. The case is made for a major new policy initiative to improve the quality of working life of the low-skilled and their opportunities for skill development.
