abstract: 'New welfare has been prominent in recent European social policy debates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It involves mobilising more people into paid work, improving human
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
capital and ensuring fairer access to opportunities. This programme is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attractive to business (more workers, better human capital and reduced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social conflict to enhance productivity and profitability) and to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
citizens (more widely accessible job-opportunities with better rewards):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a relatively low-cost approach to the difficulties governments face in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maintaining support and meeting social goals as inequalities widen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The generalmove towards `newwelfare'' gathered momentum during the past
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
two decades, given extra impetus by the 2007-09 recession and subsequent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stagnation. While employment rates rose during the prosperous years
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
before the crisis, there was no commensurate reduction in poverty. Over
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the same period the share of economic growth returned to labour fell,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour markets were increasingly de-regulated and inequality increased.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This raises the question of whether new welfare''s economic goals (higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment, improved human capital) and social goals (better job quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and incomes) may come into conflict.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This paper examines data for seventeen European countries over the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
period 2001 to 2007. It shows that new welfare is much more successful
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at achieving higher employment than at reducing poverty, even during
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prosperity, and that the approach pays insufficient attention to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structural factors, such as the falling wage share, and to institutional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
issues, such as labour market deregulation.'
