Bringing the Jobless into Work? : Experiences with Activation Schemes in Europe and the US

edited by Werner Eichhorst, Otto Kaufmann, Regina Konle-Seidl

This volume provides an up-to-date overview of activation strategies in unemployment benefit systems and social assistance in selected European countries and the United States. A particular focus lies on the development of activation schemes, governance and implementation as well as on the outcomes of activation in terms of labor market and social integration. The volume is the first to address these issues both from a socio-economic and a legal perspective.
