abstract: 'The social investment approach emerged as a new welfare paradigm, aimed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at reconciling the traditional functions of the welfare supply with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
productive social agenda, designed at preparing people to confront the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`new social risks'', whether they be related to the problem of balancing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid work and family responsibilities, upgrading the skills, preventing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities and promoting the availability of in-kind services. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
order to achieve these objectives, especially those related to care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
needs and work-life balance, the adoption of social investment-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strategies necessarily implies an expansion of the jobs related to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health and social care services. In more recent years, many studies have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysed the limitations of the social investment policies because of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their different redistributive impacts on social groups. Several studies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have found a higher use of these policies for high-income families.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another source of criticism on social investment is that spending on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these policies would seem to crowd out more traditional passive social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expenditures. In this article, we examine another question related to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the widespread of this approach: what are the effects of the social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investment policies in terms of direct job creation? In fact, one of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more controversial issues, related to social investment policies, is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their direct contribution to the labour market in terms of both quantity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and quality of work within welfare services. The article analyses these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
issues focusing on Germany and Italy, two countries that represent not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
only two different care regimes but also two distinct models regarding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
job creation strategies in the care sector. In doing so, particular
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attention will be paid to long-term care policies, as they represent one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the pivotal areas of the social investment approach, both in terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social services, to address new social risks, and new jobs related to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
welfare services'
