Abstract Based on an ethnographic survey conducted in services for the homeless in French-speaking Switzerland, this paper examines street-level social workers’ struggles between the implementation of official policies and their direct work with people. Beyond their common condition of homelessness, people looking for shelter are a very heterogeneous group: undocumented migrants and foreign workers rub shoulders with poor, local pensioners, or with persons suffering from drug addiction or mental illness. Guided by national and international residence and labour legislation, local authorities and institutions have their own policies – more or less strict in their exclusion of poor migrants – regarding the legitimate beneficiaries of a place in the emergency accommodation system. In this article, we analyse the encounters of street-level social workers with homeless people and examine the practical, value-based and ethical dilemmas they face, as well the use of their discretionary power in making more - or less - appropriate shelter available for destitute migrants.
摘要基于一项在瑞士法语区为无家可归者提供服务的民族志调查,本文考察了街头社会工作者在执行官方政策和直接与人民合作之间的斗争。除了无家可归的常见状况外,寻求庇护的人是一个非常异质的群体:无证移民和外国工人与当地的穷人、养老金领取者或吸毒或精神疾病患者并肩作战。在国家和国际居留和劳工立法的指导下,地方当局和机构有自己的政策——或多或少严格地将贫困移民排除在外——关于紧急住宿系统中的合法受益人。在这篇文章中,我们分析了街头社会工作者与无家可归者的遭遇,并考察了他们面临的实际、基于价值和道德的困境,以及他们在为贫困移民提供或多或少合适的住所方面的自由裁量权的使用。

At the intersection of immigration and welfare governance in the United States: State, county and frontline levels and clients’ perspectives 在美国移民和福利治理的交叉点:州,县和一线层面和客户的观点

Abstract The U.S welfare reform of 1996 restricted the eligibility of immigrants and introduced a punitive and devolved workfare system. While previous studies explained state variation in the welfare eligibility rules for immigrants, few studies have examined the intersection of immigration and welfare governance within a state. We choose the Californian welfare-to-work (WTW) program as a case, most likely to be inclusive to immigrants. Analyzing statistics, documents, and interviews at the state, county, and frontline levels, however, we also reveal multiple exclusionary mechanisms at various policy levels, such as complicated processes and insufficient translations. Our analysis of immigrant clients’ interviews helps to understand why many immigrants decide not to apply for welfare and how even WTW participants with an immigration background experience fear and are especially vulnerable to unfair treatments. Thus, the implementation of the punitive workfare regime along with the restrictive immigration regime can contradict the aim of WTW-policy to lead families in poverty to selfsufficiency.
美国1996年的福利改革限制了移民的资格,并引入了惩罚性和下放的工作福利制度。虽然以前的研究解释了移民福利资格规则的州差异,但很少有研究考察了一个州内移民和福利治理的交集。我们选择加州的工作福利计划(WTW)作为案例,它最有可能包容移民。然而,通过分析州、县和一线层面的统计数据、文件和访谈,我们也发现了不同政策层面的多重排斥机制,如流程复杂和翻译不足。我们对移民客户访谈的分析有助于理解为什么许多移民决定不申请福利,以及即使是具有移民背景的WTW参与者也会感到恐惧,并且特别容易受到不公平待遇。因此,惩罚性工作福利制度与限制性移民制度的实施可能与世界贸易组织政策旨在引导贫困家庭实现自给自足的目标相矛盾。

Governing Young Poor in Switzerland and Reinforcing Their Work Ethics 瑞士青年贫困人口治理与职业道德建设
Pub Date : 2020-12-01 DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2020-0020

Abstract The present research deals with the policies directed at young adults on social assistance (YAS) without vocational training and the way implementers themselves as well as the YAS perceive policy implementation. In Switzerland, a currently on-going strategic shift in the policy field of welfare and youth policies has renewed emphasis on vocational education and training (VET) as a first and primary integration step. This policy shift has implications for the socio-political alignment of the cantonal administration. As a guideline, the renewed emphasis on “education first” dictates an approach that follows an economic and paternalistic logic. Building on collected data within cantonal administrations (Basel-City and Geneva) and encounters with YAS, this paper discusses the underlying narratives of these policies and their moral justification patterns.
摘要本研究探讨了未受过职业培训的青年社会救助政策,以及政策执行者和青年对政策实施的看法。在瑞士,目前正在进行的福利和青年政策领域的战略转变重新强调职业教育和培训(VET)作为第一个和主要的一体化步骤。这一政策转变对州政府的社会政治结盟产生了影响。作为指导方针,重新强调的“教育第一”指示了一种遵循经济和家长式逻辑的方法。基于在各州政府(巴塞尔市和日内瓦)收集的数据以及与YAS的接触,本文讨论了这些政策的基本叙述及其道德辩护模式。

Risk Privatisation and Social Investment – Self-Employment in the United Kingdom 风险私有化和社会投资——英国的自营职业
Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2020-0012

Abstract With increasing numbers of self-employed persons in the United Kingdom (UK) struggling to protect themselves via personal savings or private insurance against work-related social risks (an issue that has gained further importance in light of the Covid-19 pandemic), this article first discusses self-employment as a type of work that implies intrinsically privatised forms of risk management. Secondly, current social policy interventions towards vulnerable self-employed persons in the United Kingdom (UK) are analysed to identify the mix of instruments used for, on the one hand, investment and support and, on the other hand, conditionality, coercion and activation. Finally, we explore how responsibilities for risk management manifest themselves and argue that the expansion of activation and conditionality increases pressures upon self-employed workers with insufficient incomes and thus indicates a far-reaching risk privatisation, while undermining the idea of a meaningful social investment approach.
摘要随着英国越来越多的自营职业者努力通过个人储蓄或私人保险来保护自己免受与工作相关的社会风险(鉴于新冠肺炎大流行,这一问题变得更加重要),本文首先讨论了自营职业作为一种隐含着本质上私有化的风险管理形式的工作。其次,分析了联合王国(英国)目前针对弱势个体经营者的社会政策干预措施,以确定一方面用于投资和支持,另一方面用于附加条件、胁迫和激活的工具组合。最后,我们探讨了风险管理的责任是如何表现出来的,并认为激活和附加条件的扩大增加了收入不足的自营职业者的压力,从而表明了影响深远的风险私有化,同时破坏了有意义的社会投资方法的理念。

The Role of Private Insurance in Governing Work-Related Risks: A Law and Economics Perspective 私人保险在治理工作风险中的作用:法律与经济学视角
Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2020-0013

Abstract This contribution focuses on the governance of industrial accidents and occupational diseases. Prevention of work-related accidents and diseases and compensation of employee-victims can be the subject of public regulation, such as OHS regulation and social security. However, also private actors may be involved in the regulation of work-related accidents, especially when compensation of damage caused by work-related risks is not (sufficiently) covered by public regulation. These private actors include representatives of employers and employees, but may also include private insurers. In some jurisdictions liability insurers provide supplementary cover for OHS risks and policy-makers often expect that the monitoring by liability insurers will increase safety at work. The main research question addressed in this paper is whether insurers (and more particularly insurers of employers’ liability) are indeed able to contribute to safety at work. Taking a law and economics perspective, we expect that this depends crucially on the possibilities insurers have to control moral hazard and adverse selection. However, the extent to which liability insurers have a financial interest in combatting these phenomena plays an important role. That may crucially depend upon the generosity of the public compensation scheme. First, we recapitulate the economic theory of insurance to the extent that it relates to work-related risks. Second, we address the question whether in some jurisdictions insurers have actually made use of these instruments, based on a literature survey. Third, we examine information on insurance policies offered by insurers in The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, to analyse to what extent theory matches practice.
摘要这篇文章的重点是工伤事故和职业病的治理。预防工伤事故和疾病以及对员工受害者的赔偿可以是公共法规的主题,如职业健康安全法规和社会保障。然而,私人行为者也可能参与工伤事故的监管,特别是当公共监管没有(充分)涵盖工伤风险造成的损害赔偿时。这些私人行为者包括雇主和雇员的代表,但也可能包括私人保险公司。在一些司法管辖区,责任保险公司为职业健康安全风险提供补充保险,决策者通常预计责任保险公司的监督将提高工作安全。本文讨论的主要研究问题是保险公司(尤其是雇主责任保险公司)是否真的能够为工作安全做出贡献。从法律和经济学的角度来看,我们预计这在很大程度上取决于保险公司控制道德风险和逆向选择的可能性。然而,责任保险公司在打击这些现象方面的经济利益在多大程度上起着重要作用。这可能在很大程度上取决于公共补偿计划的慷慨程度。首先,我们重述了与工作相关风险的保险经济理论。其次,根据文献调查,我们讨论了在一些司法管辖区,保险公司是否真的使用了这些工具的问题。第三,我们研究了荷兰和英国保险公司提供的保险单信息,以分析理论与实践的匹配程度。

Explaining Employer-Provided Training 解释雇主提供的培训
Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2020-0011
F. Koster, L. Benda
Abstract The present study aims at investigating employer’s investments in the employability of employees. To do so, human capital theory and the employee-organization relationships approach (which rests on social exchange theory) is used to build three testable hypotheses, namely to argue that the kind of training employees need, the type of contract they have, and their behavior in the organization each matter for understanding employer behavior regarding training investments. These hypotheses are tested using a vignette study – which is a semi-experimental approach – to test decisions regarding training investments among 519 representatives of organizations in the Netherlands. Since each respondent scores three vignettes, the total number of responses is 1,557. The results show that, instead of exclusionary hypotheses, the hypotheses examined complement each other in such a way that a layered model consisting of the individual, the contractual, and the employment relationship can explain employer’s training decisions.
摘要本研究旨在调查雇主对雇员就业能力的投资。为此,人力资本理论和员工-组织关系方法(基于社会交换理论)被用来建立三个可测试的假设,即认为员工需要的培训类型,他们拥有的合同类型以及他们在组织中的行为对于理解雇主关于培训投资的行为都很重要。这些假设是通过一项小短片研究来检验的——这是一种半实验的方法——在荷兰的519个组织代表中测试有关培训投资的决定。由于每个应答者得分为三个小插曲,因此应答总数为1557个。研究结果表明,所检验的假设不是排他性的假设,而是相互补充的假设,这样一个由个人、合同和雇佣关系组成的分层模型可以解释雇主的培训决策。

Distributive Consequences of Risk Privatization: The Case of the Swedish Unemployment Insurance System 风险私有化的分配后果:以瑞典失业保险制度为例
Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2020-0010

Abstract The public unemployment insurance program in Sweden has retrenched in terms of its benefit generosity in the last three decades. As a response to this trend, in which an ever-smaller proportion of the previous income of unemployed persons is compensated by public unemployment insurance benefit, complementary income insurance schemes provided by unions have expanded rapidly in the last 15 years, currently covering one half of the working population. What does this change mean for people who need income protection upon unemployment and are more likely to find themselves unemployed or underemployed? By analyzing survey-based benefit recipiency data among retail workers who were unemployed in 2014, this article explores the outcomes of the multi-pillarized unemployment benefit provision system in Sweden. While public unemployment insurance benefit does not fully compensate for the income loss for the majority of retail workers, the promise of a complementary income insurance scheme seems to be illusory for many individuals as they repeatedly oscillate between precarious work and benefits, accompanied by the burden of navigating a complex system.
瑞典的公共失业保险计划在过去的三十年里,其福利慷慨程度有所下降。作为对这一趋势的反应,即由公共失业保险津贴补偿失业者以前收入的比例越来越小,工会提供的补充收入保险计划在过去15年中迅速扩大,目前覆盖了一半的工作人口。对于那些失业时需要收入保障、更有可能发现自己失业或就业不足的人来说,这一变化意味着什么?本文通过对2014年瑞典零售业失业人员领取失业救济金的调查数据进行分析,探讨瑞典多层次失业救济金发放制度的实施效果。虽然公共失业保险福利并不能完全补偿大多数零售工人的收入损失,但对许多人来说,补充收入保险计划的承诺似乎是虚幻的,因为他们反复在不稳定的工作和福利之间摇摆,同时还要承担在复杂系统中工作的负担。

Editorial: The Privatization of Work-Related Risk Control 社论:与工作相关的风险控制的私有化
Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2020-0009
P. Mascini, R. Veen
Abstract This introduction starts by linking the privatization of work-related risk control to a political context in which social investment policies are prominent. Subsequently, a short overview of different forms of privatization is given. Finally, the different contributions to this special issue are introduced by either relating them to the governance or the consequences of privatization. Based on the contributions to the special issue, it is concluded first that the governance of privatized risk control poses difficult challenges of finding the right balance between public objectives and the involvement of private interests. Secondly, it is concluded that, by excluding or marginalizing the most vulnerable group, the privatization of risk control does not always achieve the equality of opportunities that social investment policies aim for. These risks of exclusion and marginalization seem to be particularly salient when the privatization of social investment policies is embedded in a context of retrenchment or a dualization of the labor market.
本文首先将与工作相关的风险控制私有化与社会投资政策突出的政治背景联系起来。随后,简要概述了不同形式的私有化。最后,介绍了对这一特殊问题的不同贡献,将它们与治理或私有化的后果联系起来。根据对这一专题的贡献,首先得出结论,私有化风险控制的治理在公共目标和私人利益的参与之间找到正确的平衡带来了困难。第二,得出的结论是,通过排除或边缘化最弱势群体,风险控制的私有化并不总是实现社会投资政策所追求的机会平等。当社会投资政策私有化嵌入劳动力市场紧缩或二元化的背景下时,这些被排斥和边缘化的风险似乎尤为突出。

Unemployment in the Affective Economy: Exploring the Affective Governing of Young Unemployed People in the Danish Welfare State 情感经济中的失业:探索丹麦福利国家对年轻失业者的情感治理
Pub Date : 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2020-0015

Abstract This case study investigates the affective governing of young unemployed people, and it concludes that getting money in the Danish welfare state comes with an “affective price”. In the quest for a job, unemployed people have been increasingly responsibilized in order to live up to the ideal of the active jobseeker. Consequently, when faced with unemployment, they are encouraged to work harder on themselves and their motivation. Based on an interview study with young unemployed people (N=39) and field observations made at employment fund agencies in Denmark (2014–15), I explore how young unemployed people are governed by and through their emotions. By supplementing governmentality studies (Foucault et al. 1988, 2010) with the concept of “affective economy” from Ahmed (2014), I discuss how young unemployed people who receive money from the Danish state are placed in a situation of debt. The paper unfolds how this debt becomes visible as the unemployed people often describe feeling under suspicion for not doing enough, for not being motivated enough. Through an abundance of (pro) activity, they have to prove the suspicion of being lazy wrong, and through managing themselves as active jobseekers, they earn the right to get money from the state. Here motivation, passion and empowerment are key currencies. I discuss the intricate interplay between monetary and affective currencies as well as political implications in the context of the Danish welfare. The article contributes by making visible the importance of taking affective matters into account when investigating the complex relationship between politics and psychology.
本案例研究考察了青年失业人员的情感控制,并得出结论:在丹麦的福利国家中获得资金是有“情感价格”的。在找工作的过程中,失业的人越来越有责任感,以达到积极求职者的理想。因此,当面临失业时,他们被鼓励更加努力地工作。基于对青年失业人员的访谈研究(N=39)和在丹麦就业基金机构的实地观察(2014-15),我探讨了青年失业人员是如何被他们的情绪所支配和通过他们的情绪。通过用Ahmed(2014)的“情感经济”概念补充治理学研究(Foucault et al. 1988, 2010),我讨论了从丹麦国家获得资金的年轻失业人员是如何处于债务状态的。这篇论文揭示了这种债务是如何变得明显的,因为失业者经常描述自己感到被怀疑做得不够,没有足够的动力。通过大量的(亲)活动,他们必须证明懒惰的怀疑是错误的,并通过管理自己作为积极的求职者,他们获得了从国家获得资金的权利。在这里,动力、激情和授权是关键货币。我讨论了货币和情感货币之间错综复杂的相互作用,以及丹麦福利背景下的政治影响。这篇文章的贡献在于表明,在研究政治与心理之间的复杂关系时,考虑情感问题的重要性。
