  1. Standard work: an anachronism?

    Standard work: an anachronism?

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Jan Buelens, John A. Pearson
    This book investigates whether one of the basic norms underlying contemporary labour law in the EU - standard work - has been subject to drastic changes. Standard work, usually defined as fulltime, permanent employment for a single employer, has traditionally been the most common form of work structure, and various legal obligations and protections are strongly associated with it. However, standard work seems to have increasingly come under attack in recent years.

  3. Cross-Border Welfare State

    Cross-Border Welfare State

    Immigration, social security & integration
    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Gijsbert Vonk
    The position of non-EU migrants in social security is problematic. Many European states reduce access to social benefits for categories of migrants whose presence is not desired. At the same time the scope of application of the national systems is becoming more confined to the national borders, as, for example, countries take measures to reduce the exportability of benefits. These two trends of exclusion and retrenchment particularly affect irregular immigrants and persons moving between Europe and developing countries who are not protected by any bilateral social security agreements.

  4. Social Inclusion and Social Protection in the EU: Interactions between Law and Policy

    Social Inclusion and Social Protection in the EU: Interactions between Law and Policy

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | United Kingdom | Bea Cantillon, Herwig Verschueren, Paula Ploscar
    The interaction between legal instruments and policy coordination in the field of social inclusion and social protection constitutes the theme of this book. The contributions essentially inquire whether there is any interaction at all, or if the two realms of law and policy of the EU function in parallel. If there is any sort of interchange between the two, in what areas is it taking place, and what does it result into?

  5. The social security position of irregular migrant workers

    The social security position of irregular migrant workers

    New insights from national social security law and international law
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Klaus Kapuy
    How should a State treat an irregular migrant worker who is confronted with the realisation of a social risk such as becoming incapacitated for work due to a labour accident? Should he be treated like any other worker and qualify for income replacement benefits, medical benefits and labour-market reintegration measures? Or should he be denied these benefits? This book addresses these questions and sets out proposals on how irregular migrant workers should be treated in national social security law.

  6. International Social Security Standards in the European Union

    International Social Security Standards in the European Union

    The Cases of the Czech Republic and Estonia
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Tineke Dijkhoff
    Within the European Union, social security basically remains a national field of competence. The lack of common norms has paved the way for a large disparity in social protection between EU Member States, which is not conducive to the European single market. Moreover, it may lead to an increase in poverty and social exclusion and intensify economic competition between Member States. At the same time, almost all EU Member States are bound by one or more international social security instruments developed by the ILO and by the Council of Europe. This book analyses the international standards, followed by the case studies of the Czech Republic and Estonia.

    Social Federalism: The Creation of a Layered Welfare State

    The Belgian case
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Bea Cantillon, Ninke Mussche, Patricia Popelier
    The authors of this book critically assess the current stage of social federalism in Belgium and ask how against the background of the major challenge of an ageing population an effective social policy can be shaped. The book considers at which level the bulk of an effective social policy is best situated, what the role of the sub-national entities can be, and which limitations are imposed by the constitutional and European framework. The various forms of power allocation are considered for social federalism in Belgium.

    Our social security systems face many challenges. Economic crises, the ageing of the population and changing employment patterns call for a reorientation of policies.

  12. Social Protection for a Post-Industrial World

    Social Protection for a Post-Industrial World

    Book | 1st edition 2010 | Europe | Peter Kemp
    In recent years, many academics and policymakers have argued that the welfare state needs to be modernized. It is claimed that social protection systems still largely reflect the ‘old social risks’ created under industrial capitalism and that they need to be adapted to the ‘new social risks’ that have developed with the transition to post-industrial society. This book addresses some of the challenges for social protection posed by these demographic, social and economic transformations.

    Collective Action and Fundamental Freedoms in Europe

    Striking the Balance
    Book | 1st edition 2010 | Europe | Edoardo Ales, Tonia Novitz
    Recent cases decided by the European Court of Justice have raised crucial issues regarding the scope for collective action in Europe. In this context, this collection of essays investigates treatment of the right to strike in seven Member States of the European Union: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Each national report examines how legal regulation seeks to address conflicting interests, namely those of employers, workers and the public at large. Each report also outlines the potential impact of EU jurisprudence in that country.
