When virtuous paedophiles meet online
On the online forum Virtuous Paedophiles, experiences of being sexually attracted to children are discussed based on the belief that ‘adult-child sex’ is wrong. Having explored the forum’s culture of support, advice, and negotiations, we find that the stigmatised paedophile character limits both the understanding of being a paedophile and the ability to remain virtuous. Additionally, ideas about the paedophile character allow the formation of a c…
Are benefit reductions an effective activation strategy? The case of the lowest benefit recipients in Denmark
Decades of commitment to the basic principles of the Danish welfare state have been discarded with a new social policy reducing the benefits for people already at the bottom of the income ladder. The political intention is to increase job search via economic incentives that increase the gap between benefit income and market income. Using a panel dataset with benefit recipients, we show that the intended job search effect did not materialise to an…
Parents on Low Benefits - Coping with Poverty
We analyze coping strategies emerging as responses to relative poverty in families with children who receive the lowest benefits in Denmark. We use complementary theoretical perspectives, including Bourdieu’s theory of practice, Archer’s perspective on reflectivity as inner conversations, and Lazarus’ psychological views on coping. We focus on two very different families coping with poverty and show how the parents’ dispositions, the structured s…
Danish Welfare State
The Danish Welfare State
The Danish Welfare State analyzes a broad range of areas, such as globalization, labor marked, family life, health and social exclusion, the book demonstrates that life in a modern welfare state is changing rapidly, creating both challenges and possibilities for future management.
The Socioeconomic and Ethnic Segregation of Living Conditions in Copenhagen
The aim of this article is to analyze the discrepancies between certain aspects of living conditions of ethnic Danes and immigrants in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is quite prosperous and fares well in the globalized economy but is at the same time experiencing increasing poverty and ethnic segregation. Differences in income have increased spatial segregation in Copenhagen in terms of housing and education. This segregation is most visible in relation …
Social exclusion or poverty individualisation? An empirical test of two recent and competing poverty theories
In recent years, two new theoretical perspectives on poverty in modern welfare societies have emerged: the perspective of ‘cumulative disadvantage’ and poverty individualisation. Both perspectives challenge traditional class-based poverty definitions. This article notes certain limitations that pertain to the relatively few empirical tests that have been performed to support these theories. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate that the re…
Fattigdom og overlevelsesstrategier
Reduktionen af sociale ydelser til de i forvejen dårligst stillede i Danmark i perioden 2002 til 2011 bevirkede, at mange mennesker uventet blev kastet ud i dyb fattigdom. Individer og familier måtte planlægge og udvikle strategier for, hvordan den pludselig opståede mangelsituation skulle håndteres. I forskningsprojektet ”Konsekvenser af at have de laveste sociale ydelser som forsørgelsesgrundlag” har vi ud over at undersøge modtagernes økonomis…

Fattigdommens årsager
Fattigdom har fået fornyet aktualitet, fordi andelen af fattige i Danmark er steget kraftigt siden 2001. Denne stigning falder tidsmæssigt sammen med indførelsen af de såkaldte ”fattigdomsydelser”. Det har gjort spørgsmålet om årsagerne til fattigdom påtrængende, fordi det er blevet hævdet, dels at det lave ydelsesniveau ville øge incitamentet til lønarbejde og således reducere fattigdommen, dels at det netop ville skabe fattigdom. Derfor forsøge…
Unemployed citizen or ‘at risk’ client? Classification systems and employment services in Denmark and Australia
The paper explores recent developments in Australian and Danish unemployment policies with a special focus on the technologies used to classify and categorize unemployed people on government benefits. Using governmentality as our theoretical framework, we consider the implications of reducing complex social problems to statistical scores and differentiated categories — forms of knowledge that diminish the capacity to think about unemployment as a…
The exclusion and marginalisation of immigrants in the Danish welfare society
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss and theorise the links and possible dilemmas posed by the politics of redistribution and the politics of recognition taking the case of Denmark as the point of departure. Design/methodology/approach The empirical observations in this paper consist of the political and discursive climate around legislation on ethnic minority matters, information from the Danish Statistical Bureau, the “Danish Level o…

Fattigdom, social eksklusion og boligforhold
Formålet med artiklen er primært at belyse, hvordan boligforholdene for fattige og socialt ekskluderede i Danmark har udviklet sig i perioden fra 1976 til 2000. Artiklen viser, at boligforholdene udgør en helt afgørende markør på socioøkonomiske uligheder i det danske samfund. Dem, der er fattige, socialt ekskluderede og som har et dårligt helbred, har langt ringere boligforhold end andre, og der er en klar intersektionalitet mellem forskellige, …
The active society and activation policy
This chapter focuses on the role of activation policy in the active society, and especially on the employment and social integration effects of the Danish active line in labour-market and social policy. First, it examines the concepts of the active society and activation. Second, the chapter shows how the idea of the active society and activation is put into practice in different ways depending on particular ideological and institutional settings…
Gender, poverty and empowerment
This article discusses the 'feminization of poverty' and the hypothesis that women in Danish society are at greater risk of experiencing relative poverty (lack of resources) than men, while social disintegration and dis empowerment—social exclusion—are increasingly problems for men. On the social and personal level, women are often more capable than men of developing new life strategies, and women have created a number of 'empowerment bases' in t…
Unemployment and Poverty in the Contemporary Welfare States
All over Western Europe unemployment has for a considerable number of years been at a very high level, thus presenting social policy with increasing difficulties in securing satisfactory living conditions tor the long-term unem ployed Austerity programmes have generally reduced public financial trans fers to the unemployed. while at the same time the average duration of unemployment has increased sharply Therefore. the long-term unemployed experi…
Project Labour Movement and the Welfare State
In August 1982 we started out on a comparative research project entitled 'Labour Movement and the Welfare State labour movements, occupational safety regulations, unemployment insurance and pension schemes in four West European countries since 1945'. The project is being carried out at the Sociological Institute of the University of Copenhagen, and is being partly financed by the Danish Social Science Research Council for a period of two years.
