Document Summary
Chapter 19: globalization, precarious work and the food bank. At modern welfare states developed during the post-war years the prime focus was on reducing the dependency of male breadwinners and their families on the uncertainties of markets. Both individually and collectively, these transformations have created a range of new social risks such as precarious employment and social exclusion. As a result of these transformations, traditional social safety systems have been subjected to increased pressures and challenges, both internally within individual societies and externally within a global competitive international economy. In the field of welfare reform, there has been a general transformation from passive programs of entitlement based on need, to active labour market policies with an explicit- welfare-to-work orientation. The priority is on the first entry into the labour market-any job is a good job-as welfare recipients are believed to stand as better chance of moving out of poverty and into.
