Document Summary
Globalization, precarious work, and the food bank by e. s. Structures of social risk have shifted dramatically over recent decades as a result of economic and social. Both individually and collectively, these transformations have created a range of new social risks such as precarious employment and social exclusion. Highly divergent countries have all prioritized access to employment as the best way to deal with these new risks and to secure the sustainability of welfare systems. Among the liberal states, such as the united states and canada, a convention solidified around work-first approaches with an emphasis on rapid labour force attachment through compulsory participations. The development of the global economy, characterized by intensification of international economic exchange, represents one of the key challenges to contemporary welfare states. The need to compete in the globalized economy exerts a powerful influence over the policy choices available for welfare state reforms and increases the likelihood of restructuring.
