Student employment, wellbeing and employee capital
Students in the United Kingdom are increasingly engaging in paid term-time employment, raising concerns about its negative impact on academic performance and wellbeing. When effectively balanced with academic studies, supportive employment can be theorised as increasing employee resources and wellbeing. Students who work can develop graduate capital and have reported increased satisfaction and an improved university experience. This research expl…
Get Britain Working? Continuity and Change in Labour’s Post-2024 Welfare and Employment Strategy
From manifesto pledges to election victory in 2024, the Labour Party has positioned ‘spiralling economic inactivity’ as the central employment and welfare challenge. This article critically examines Labour’s first year in power, with a focus on employment policies at the intersection of in-work poverty, economic insecurity, and inactivity. We begin by outlining the current labour market context, questioning the narrative underpinning Labour’s wel…
In Search of a Connection
Governments in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States have increasingly utilised public procurement—their power to purchase goods and services—to assist disadvantaged groups in accessing better‐quality jobs. This approach is part of a broader effort to create ‘good jobs’. However, it is necessary to examine whether this represents a new strategy for addressing persistent issues of inequality in labour markets. This …
“Fleshing Out” the Benefits of Adopting a Vegetarian Diet
Spectrum, trajectory and the role of the state in workers' self-management
This article examines self-management in the wider context of political economy and the role of the state. Most literature focuses either on labour process analysis or on social movement aspects of the phenomenon. Most importantly, there appears less emphasis on understanding the role of the state in shaping or reshaping practice, or the state is even eschewed as an inevitably conservative and bureaucratic independent agent. In developing our und…
New corporate elites and the erosion of the Keynesian social compact
The role of corporate elites - notably financial elites - has been at the forefront of political debates in Western capitalist societies since the start of the Great Recession in 2008. The major structural unbalances that had accumulated in Anglo-American economies over the last quarter of the 20th century played a key role in the build up to the financial crisis. Taking advantage of the mobility of capital, business elites promoted a model of sh…
US Social Policy in the 21st Century
In Western Europe, political commentators have been surprised by the apparent inability of President Barack Obama to implement comprehensive social policy reform, with the exception of health care legislation. Hopes that President Obama could become a new Roosevelt have been disappointed, precisely at a time when the ‘Great Recession’ (2007–09) has laid bare the challenge of economic insecurity and poverty in contemporary America. Paradoxically, …
Antipoverty Programmes in Venezuela
This article analyses Venezuelan antipoverty programmes under the presidency of Hugo Chávez, the leader of the 'Bolivarian Revolution' (1998-present). Support for poor people has become the government's trademark since the creation in 2002-03 of a series of emergency social programmes, the Missions. These programmes attend to the basic needs of low-income individuals in terms of nutrition, health and education. The Missions are characterised by a…
Les programmes de lutte contre la pauvreté au Venezuela
Since 2002-2003, Hugo Chavez has made support for the most impoverished a spearhead of his policy by creating the Missions, social programs aiming to respond to the needs of the poorest segment of the population in the areas of health, education and nutrition. The Missions are characterized by their practice of systematically bypassing institutions as well as by an anarchic proliferation which renders their institutionalization particularly diffi…
Les grossesses adolescentes en France et en Grande-Bretagne
Le nombre de grossesses adolescentes chez les jeunes filles âgées de 15 à 19 ans tend à se réduire dans les pays occidentaux. Pourtant, la perception qu’en ont les pouvoirs publics s’aiguise. L’article examine la façon dont les maternités précoces sont perçues et traitées par les pouvoirs publics dans deux pays : la Grande-Bretagne et la France. Dans le premier, la sexualité est perçue de manière largement négative. Dans le second s’applique un «…
The Second Phase of US Welfare Reform, 2000–2006
This article examines the evolution of the programme Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) since 1996. In 1996, the transformation of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) marked a watershed in American social policy. AFDC was the main US public assistance programme for single parents. By the mid‐1990s, it was also the most unpopular social programme in the United States, which explained why Bill Clinton promised to ‘end welfare…
Whose problem? Addressing child trafficking in France and Britain
This article analyses policy responses to child trafficking in France and Britain in the early 2000s. Although the issue of child trafficking has been a growing public concern worldwide and within the European Union, the phenomenon remains extremely difficult to quantify, due to the lack of an internationalised agreed definition and related problems of data collection (Terre des Hommes 2004, Kelly 2005
Active Labour Market Policies and Welfare Reform
Examining recent policy responses to social exclusion in the US, France, Denmark, the UK, and at the EU level since 1997, Daguerre argues that the development of active labour market policies is not t
Les politiques de retour à l'emploi aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et en France
Return-to-Work Policies in the United States, Great Britain and France This article analyses the political origins of the second wave of welfare reform includes policies designed and implemented in the early 2000s. The reforms investigated are the reform of the Minimum Insertion Income (Revenu Minimum d’Insertion) in France (2003); the White House ‘Working Towards Independence’ proposal, which strengthens current work requirements for welfare rec…
Murder by Numbers
In January 2004, a French Internet petition entitled ‘Let's Save Research’ (Sauvons la Recherche) became a tremendous success : as of March 2004, 72,000 French researchers had signed the text (Alberganti and Foucart, 2004). The protest focuses on the transformation of 550 permanent research posts into temporary positions. Whilst representatives of the ‘hard sciences’ dominate this protest movement, those working in the humanities are playing a mu…
Neglecting Europe
Britain’s New Labour Government has placed welfare reform at the top of its political agenda. New Labour has endorsed a radical ‘workfare’ agenda in relation to labour market policies. The government no longer aims to secure full employment through direct job creation or Keynesian demand management. Instead, it promotes the notion of equal opportunities for all based on a contract between benefit claimants and the employment service. The New Deal…
Importing Workfare
Britain's New Labour government has put welfare reform at the top of its political agenda. It has followed a radical “workfare” agenda in relation to labour and social market policies and no longer aims to secure full employment mainly through direct job creation or Keynesian demand management. Instead, it promotes equal opportunity for all based on a contract between benefits claimants and the employment service. The New Deal is at the heart of …
Adaptation to Labour Market Change in France and the UK
France and the UK are markedly different welfare states, both in terms of regime type and in terms of the varying degree of state responsibility for reconciling work and family life. One recent theoretical strand suggests that welfare states will tend to grow more similar since they face broadly similar pressures. This paper discusses the policy responses in France and the UK to labour market pressures resulting from enhanced international compet…
Policy networks in England and France
This article examines the evolution of public policy-making in the field of child care in England and France from 1980 to 1989 by using the policy network model. One of the main assumptions of the model is that networks affect policy outcomes. In particular, Marsh and Rhodes (Marsh and Rhodes 1992b, 1995) argue that policy communities foster incremental change. The article aims to challenge these assumptions in light of the results of the compara…
