abstract: 'Labour market reforms implemented in recent years in a number of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries have aimed to increase participation rates among single
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents in order to reduce the disproportionately high poverty rate and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
share of benefit recipients among them. However, our quantitative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyses based on EU-LFS and EU-SILC indicate that paid work has to some
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extent become dissociated from material security. Although participation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rates among single parents rose in the five years before the financial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and economic crisis, their risk of being in poverty remained the same or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
actually increased. This finding holds true for different types of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
welfare state, as the comparison between Germany, France, Sweden and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UK shows. The potential poverty-reducing effects of increasing labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market participation are clearly being weakened by certain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
counter-trends. Possible explanations, which apply to varying extents in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the four countries, are declining market wages and reductions in social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transfers. Moreover, previously latent material risks of lone parenting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unfold with the modernisation of gender roles and the erosion of lone
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers `avant-garde'' role as working parents. This is a common
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
challenge across countries which has so far not been addressed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sufficiently by social and labour market policies.'
