Investing in work
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the impact of two social investment strategies (labour activation and governance coordination) targeted to social assistance clients within three different welfare-system coordination cases, with focus on social and economic inclusion. Design/methodology/approach The authors focus on the impact of reform at micro (individually experienced impact), meso (impact across settings) and macro (socio-struc…
Subsidiarity and social citizenship
Previous research has emphasised that conditionality impinges on social citizenship. However, a systematic assessment examining the impact of functional and territorial subsidiarity has been overlooked. Developing seven operational criteria – rights, means testing, conditionality, voice and choice, discretion, benefit's adequacy and supplementary system – we determined levels of subsidiarity and social citizenship in social assistance schemes. An…
The challenge of superdiversity for the identity of the social work profession
This article examines the challenges that superdiversity and complexity pose for social workers. Taking an ethnographic approach, we focus on the ‘knowledge-in-action’ of social workers in a small service organization in Belgium in order to access their experiences of being professionals in superdiverse contexts. The reflections of the social workers reveal the prominence of three inter-related issues: the social vulnerability of clients, the ten…
Redefining Empowerment Interventions of Migrants Experiencing Poverty
This qualitative research examines the strategies migrants experiencing poverty develop to access social rights and services. We conducted thirty-five in-depth interviews with Moroccan and Turkish migrants experiencing poverty in the city of Antwerp, Belgium. These interviews resulted in a typology of migrants in poverty based on the methods they use to empower themselves and influence their environment. The determining factors that influence the…
To Work or Not to Work? The Role of the Organisational Context for Social Workers' Perceptions on Activation
Social-work theory and practice have always been closely related to the ideology and social context of the welfare state. A recent shift that has important consequences for European social work is the growing emphasis on the activation of people in poverty. For European countries, social work is challenged when confronted with the need to ‘activate’ people falling through the cracks of the labour market. In this article, we investigate the percep…
How can we study the integration of networks among human service organizations? Some lessons from organizational sociology
Since the 1970s, the concept of social networks became very popular in the sociological literature on organizations. This is especially the case when focusing on human service organizations. We follow Provan and Milward in defining the networks among human service organizations as 'service delivery vehicles' providing value to a population confronted with varying needs, in ways that could not have been achieved by a single organization. An import…
Two birds of a feather? Collaboration in social work research in Europe
Social work research, what's in a name? Definitely, it is not as carefree as it might seem at first glance. Questions are being asked on how this research should be conducted and what kind of resea
