Book Synopsis Work Incentives in the Danish Welfare State by : Gunnar Viby Mogensen
Download or read book Work Incentives in the Danish Welfare State written by Gunnar Viby Mogensen and published by Aarhus University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Denmark, as in other Nordic countries, the period since the 1950s has witnessed the development of a modern welfare state with comprehensive public responsibility for the social well-being of the population. But how does this very fine-meshed safety net affect the labour supply - both on the market for legally registered, taxed labour, and on the market for undeclared 'black' labour? Does the welfare state provide too few incentives for the unemployed to seek work, and for those who are employed to work longer hours? And is it the case that the incentive structure encourages do-it-yourself activities? With the support of the Rockwool Foundation, an extensive research project has been carried out, which methodically combines the results of a representative survey with register data. The results, which are presented in this volume, provide a detailed insight into the links between the tax system and the social legislation of the welfare state on the one hand, and the actual behaviour of the Danish labour force on the other.

Book Synopsis Immigration and Welfare State Cash Benefits by : Peder J. Pedersen
Download or read book Immigration and Welfare State Cash Benefits written by Peder J. Pedersen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper summarizes the existing evidence on welfare dependence among immigrants in Denmark, focusing on immigrants from non-Western countries. The paper contains an overview of the background regarding immigration in recent decades, followed by a survey of relevant benefit programs in the Danish welfare state. The evidence focuses on: macro analyses of the overall impact from immigration on the public sector budget, micro-oriented studies on specific welfare programs, the importance for welfare dependence of demographic variables, the big variation between countries of origin, and the importance of cyclical factors at the time of entry and during the first years in the new country. Evidence from the most recent years reinforce the importance of aggregate low unemployment, in contrast to fairly small effects found from policy changes intending to influence the economic incentives between welfare and a job for immigrants.

Book Synopsis The Question of Integration by : Karen Fog Olwig
Download or read book The Question of Integration written by Karen Fog Olwig and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of integration has become an important concern as many societies are experiencing a growing influx of people from abroad. But what does integration really mean? What does it take for a person to be integrated in a society? Through a number of ethnographic case studies, this book explores varying meanings and practices of integration in Denmark. This welfare society, characterized by a liberal life style and strong notions of social equality, is experiencing an upsurge of nationalist sentiment. The authors show that integration is not just a neutral term referring to the incorporation of newcomers into society. It is, more fundamentally, an ideologically loaded concept revolving around the redefining of notions of community and welfare in a society undergoing rapid social and economic changes in the face of globalization. The ethnographic analyses are authored by anthropologists who wish to engage, as scholars and citizens living and working in Denmark, in one of the most contentious issues of our time. The Danish perspectives on integration are discussed from a broader international perspective in three epilogues by non-Danish anthropologists.

Atkinson and Gunnar Viby Mogensen, have assembled a series of chapters which together provide a unified comparative study of the microeconomic process whereby high taxes and high benefits act as disincentives to work.

Book Synopsis Migration and Social Protection in Europe and Beyond (Volume 1) by : Jean-Michel Lafleur
Download or read book Migration and Social Protection in Europe and Beyond (Volume 1) written by Jean-Michel Lafleur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first open access book in a series of three volumes provides an in-depth analysis of social protection policies that EU Member States make accessible to resident nationals, non-resident nationals and non-national residents. In doing so, it discusses different scenarios in which the interplay between nationality and residence could lead to inequalities of access to welfare. Each chapter maps the eligibility conditions for accessing social benefits, by paying particular attention to the social entitlements that migrants can claim in host countries and/or export from home countries. The book also identifies and compares recent trends of access to welfare entitlements across five policy areas: health care, unemployment, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. As such this book is a valuable read to researchers, policy makers, government employees and NGO’s.
Book Synopsis Low-Wage Work in Denmark by : Niels Westergaard-Nielsen
Download or read book Low-Wage Work in Denmark written by Niels Westergaard-Nielsen and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2008-04-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Danish economy offers a dose of American labor market flexibility inside a European welfare state. The Danish government allows employers a relatively high level of freedom to dismiss workers, but also provides generous unemployment insurance. Widespread union coverage and an active system of collective bargaining help regulate working conditions in the absence of strong government regulation. Denmark's rate of low-wage work—8.5 percent—is the lowest of the five countries under analysis. In Low-Wage Work in Denmark, a team of Danish researchers combines comprehensive national registry data with detailed case studies of five industries to explore why low-end jobs are so different in Denmark. Some jobs that are low-paying in the United States, including hotel maids and meat processors, though still demanding, are much more highly compensated in Denmark. And Danes, unlike American workers, do not stay in low-wage jobs for long. Many go on to higher paying jobs, while a significant minority ends up relying temporarily on income support and benefits sustained by one of the highest tax rates in the world. Low-Wage Work in Denmark provides an insightful look at the particularities of the Danish labor market and the lessons it holds for both the United States and the rest of Europe.

Book Synopsis Racism in Danish Welfare Work with Refugees by : Marta Padovan-Özdemir
Download or read book Racism in Danish Welfare Work with Refugees written by Marta Padovan-Özdemir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores contemporary Danish relations of colonial complicity in welfare work with newly arrived refugees (1978-2016) as recursive histories that reveal new shapes and shades of racism. Focussing on super- and subordination in helping relations of postcoloniality, the book displays the durability of coloniality and the workings of raceless racism in welfare work with refugees. Its main contribution is the excavation of stock stories of colour-blindness, potentialising and compassion, which help welfare workers invest in burying that which keeps haunting welfare work with refugees, i.e., modern ghosts of difference, docility and dignity. The book dismantles the global myth of the Danish benevolent, universalistic welfare state and it is of interest to every scholar and student, who wants to make inquiries about Danish exceptionalism and the hidden interaction between past and present, the visible and invisible in Danish welfare work with refugees.
Book Synopsis The Survival of the European Welfare State by : Stein Kuhnle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Crisis'. 'Breakdown'. 'Dismantlement.' Since the 1970's, these have become the catchphrases used to describe the condition of the welfare states in Europe, in academic and media analyses alike.

An essential resource for students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in the welfare state.
Book Synopsis Work and the Welfare State by : Evelyn Z. Brodkin
Download or read book Work and the Welfare State written by Evelyn Z. Brodkin and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work and the Welfare State places street-level organizations at the analytic center of welfare-state politics, policy, and management. This volume offers a critical examination of efforts to change the welfare state to a workfare state by looking at on-the-ground issues in six countries: the US, UK, Australia, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. An international group of scholars contribute organizational studies that shed new light on old debates about policies of workfare and activation. Peeling back the political rhetoric and technical policy jargon, these studies investigate what really goes on in the name of workfare and activation policies and what that means for the poor, unemployed, and marginalized populations subject to these policies. By adopting a street-level approach to welfare state research, Work and the Welfare State reveals the critical, yet largely hidden, role of governance and management reforms in the evolution of the global workfare project. It shows how these reforms have altered organizational arrangements and practices to emphasize workfare’s harsher regulatory features and undermine its potentially enabling ones. As a major contribution to expanding the conceptualization of how organizations matter to policy and political transformation, this book will be of special interest to all public management and public policy scholars and students.
