Taylor & Francis Ltd Housing Change in East and Central Europe
Book SynopsisTen years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, patterns of change to the former communist nations of Europe are now discernible in a way that was impossible to see in the initial years. This insightful book focuses on the case of changes in housing based on evidence collected from across the Central and Eastern European region. The volume adopts a conceptual framework and provides cross-regional analysis, amongst which is situated a series of more focused case studies. Issues examined include the consequences of the rapid privatization of state rental housing including the emergence of ''super-owner-occupied'' countries, dramatic changes in urban structure and evidence that housing, having been the shock absorber against which wider economic restructuring has occurred, now faces a whole series of deferred problems. The enthusiasm with which the market economy was initially embraced must now be tempered by a more sober assessment of what in reality has happened.Trade Review’...this volume provides sobering lessons in what to do and not do in transforming any state-directed housing system into a market-based system. The volume should be on the shelf of all housing analysts and policy-makers in both the developed and developing worlds and in international agencies dealing with housing programmes.’ Professor Larry S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Welfare to Work in Practice Social Security and
Book SynopsisWelfare to Work in Practice brings together some of the leading international social security experts to discuss the rationale for welfare to work policies, their limitations and problems encountered in practice. Contributors include Jane Millar, Neil Gilbert, Martin Werding, Jonathan Bradshaw and Einar Overbye, who address topics ranging from the linkages between social security and the labour market to how the welfare to work agenda is responding to the needs of special groups such as lone parents, the long-term unemployed and those with a disability. The book puts the arguments and ideas that underlie the new welfare reform agenda under the microscope and explains how it is being implemented in an international context. Several new data sets are analyzed in a collection that covers developments in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Norway, the UK and the US, as well as several comparative studies. In doing so, this volume helps to bridge the gap between research and poliTrade Review’This book deals with one of the great themes in modern social policy that goes under a variety of names such as workfare, welfare to work or activation. We know too little about an idea that now powerfully informs welfare reform. This book represents a stock-take of existing knowledge and then adds importantly to the pool of knowledge. It is highly recommended...The twenty-two authors draw on welfare reform experience in the USA, Britain, Australia, the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Belgium, Estonia and elsewhere. The book combines country studies and broad international comparative analyses, using a variety of economic and sociological approaches and types of data.’ Professor Stein Ringen, University of Oxford, UK ’This book gives a well balanced and thought provoking insight into the most important reforms of welfare systems worldwide in recent years...If one [wishes] to learn about recent reforms of welfare systems worldwide - and future challenges for these systems - then this is the book to read.’ Niels Ploug, The Danish National Institute of Social Research, DenmarkTable of ContentsContents: Welfare to work in practice: introduction and overview, Peter Saunders; Protection to activation: the apotheosis of work, Neil Gilbert; Work as welfare? Lone mothers, social security and employment, Jane Millar; Bridging the welfare to work divide: economic and social participation among income support recipients in Australia, Peter Saunders; The role of workfare in the Scandinavian model of social security: soft work incentives, skill upgrading or quality of life improvement for the disadvantaged?
