Disability disclosure strategies among job seekers with cerebral palsy
This study investigates the disability disclosure experiences of 23 job seekers with cerebral palsy (CP). Drawing on Campbell’s framework of ableism and Goffman’s theory of stigma, the article examines when (disclosure moment), why (disclosure reason), and how (disclosure strategies) individuals disclose a disability during job seeking. Job seekers with disabilities face a disclosure dilemma: if they withhold disability information in their job a…
Attitudes and behaviour of employers to recruiting persons with disabilities
1.IntroductionDespite more than two decades of strategies and policies to promote equal employment opportunities and avoid discrimination against persons with disabilities, major employment and participation gaps still remain. Persons with disabilities have significantly lower employment rates, and higher inactivity and unemployment rates than persons without disabilities. If they do work, they are less likely to be in full-time employment and mo…
Employer Preferences Towards Recruitment of Refugees – A Danish Vignette Study
Refugees have higher unemployment rates, lower employment rates and are more often in precarious employment compared to native Danes. In fact, the employment rate of people with a refugee background never reaches that of those born in Denmark. In this article, we examine the preferences of Danish employers in recruiting jobseekers with a refugee background and test how different country backgrounds impact recruitment preferences. We use a vignett…
Relationships Matter – The Impact of Working Alliances in Employment Services
A central assumption in social policy research and practice is that a strong working alliance between caseworkers and clients produces the best outcomes. There is, however, limited empirical evidence to support this assumption. This is especially the case within Active Labour Market Policies, where existing research focuses on programme effects rather than relationship effects. In this article, we examine whether strong working alliances produce …
Farewell flexicurity? Danish flexicurity and the crisis
Before the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008, flexicurity topped the European labour market and social policy agenda. It was acclaimed for combining the flexibility of liberal labour markets with the security of social welfare states, thereby offering a viable formula for success in the new global economy. Nowhere was this better exemplified than in Denmark, with the Danish system repeatedly highlighted as a good example of flexicurity…
Employers and Active Labour Market Policies
Among scholars and practitioners, there is a growing recognition of the important role of employers in the success of active labour market policies in Europe. However, there is a lack of systematic evidence about why and how employers engage in active labour market policies. In this article, the preferences and behaviour of employers towards active labour market policies are untangled. A typology of four types of employers is constructed for anal…
Employers and the Implementation of Active Labor Market Policies
Active labor market policies (ALMPs) are an important instrument for governments in dealing with the new challenges of globalization, flexibilization, and individualization of labor markets. Politics and research has focused on the supply-side of the labor market, that is, regulating the rights and obligations of the target groups of ALMPs (mainly unemployed and inactive persons). The role and behavior of employers is under-researched and under-t…
Evaluating What Works for Whom in Active Labour Market Policies
In order to make informed and legitimate decisions in labour market policies, European and national policy makers need better knowledge of what type of interventions works for whom. The European Commission and many Member States have high hopes that ‘experimental evaluation’ techniques (such as randomised controlled experiments, systematic meta-analysis and econometric outcome evaluations) will deliver solid and clear evidence to inform the devel…
Quasi-Markets in Employment Policy
This article focuses on the contracting-out of Public Employments Services. Quasi-markets promise to deliver more efficient, effective and de-bureaucratised employment services. By comparing experiences from Holland, Australia and Denmark we investigate whether quasi-markets deliver on promises. Quasi-market models have difficulties in living up to the preconditions for a well-functioning market and political expectations. Efficiency gains and co…
Flexicurity
Flexicurity – the contraction of flexibility and security – has in a short time become a political celebrity. In this article we trace back the genealogy of this celebrity. We begin by analysing the reasons behind the current celebration of flexicurity by the European Commission, and describe the European evolution of the concept. Then we take one step backwards and describe the conceptualisation and development of the Danish case of flexicurity,…
Implementing public employment policy
Purpose The purpose of the article is to analyse the interconnections between formal policy reforms and operational policies, specifically between new governance and employment policy. The main question is what happens to public employment policies when they are contracted out to non‐public (for‐profit and not‐for‐profit) agencies? Design/methodology/approach The case is the contracting out of the public employment services in Australia, Holland,…
Opportunities and challenges for flexicurity - The Danish example
The contraction of two previously opposed concepts, ‘flexibility’ and ‘security’, into that of flexicurity has become one of the most popular labour market concepts in recent years, and one that seems to cross European borders relatively easily. Seen in an international perspective, Denmark is characterised by a relatively flexible labour market and an extensive social security system. It is widely assumed that these favourable results are due to…
