This chapter examines the research literature on the inclusionary and exclusionary potentials of various forms of work. It provides a review on studies addressing the effects of active social policies in terms of inclusion and exclusion. It explores the participation in ‘standard’ work, part-time work and flexi-work, employment programmes and training, unpaid work and informal paid work. It evaluates the issues that should be the focus of research on the inclusionary and exclusionary potentials of forms of work, as well as the social policies promoting them.Less

This chapter discusses Amartya Sen and his advocacy of a general ethical ‘theory’ of human rights. A general theory is shown to provide a view of the constitutive characteristics of human rights and aims to provide the general discipline of human rights. The chapter states that the ‘Theory’ undoubtedly offers a work in progress, which implicates the notion of ‘work’. Out of the three forms of work — dream work, work of analysis, and work of becoming conscious — the ‘Theory’ attends to the work of analysis of human rights.Less

The German model of industrial relations has come under increasing pressure from a variety of sources in recent years, including reunification, market liberalization, and privatization, changes in employment structures and the growth of new economic sectors, as well as recession and rising unemployment. This chapter examines the effects of these pressures on the role of employee participation and collective bargaining across the German private sector, particularly in relation to the emergence of a newer, unorganized system—based on emerging sectors and new forms of working—alongside the traditional organized system of industrial relations. Much in the future depends on the interpenetration of the ‘layers’ of institutional development, that is, whether the traditional layers of employment will tend towards the emerging layers based on individualized forms of working. Successful union responses will prove critically important if further fragmentation is to be counteredLess
