The presentation deals with the concept of “flexicurity” from the perspective of individuals’ labour market participation. To begin with, differing notions of “flexicurity” from selected European countries are being discussed. The presentation then extends the analysis of flexicurity to take account of the life-course perspective; in the international flexicurity debate such an approach has so far not been systematically taken. Based on own empirical research, the presentation focuses on different aspects of labour market integration over the life-course in different European welfare state regimes. In the second half the presentation deals with the question of what options will be needed for time allocation in different phases of life and over the whole life of an individual, and what financial resources could be combined to finance those phases. The first section discusses methodological and conceptual issues related to flexicurity and the life course. The second and main section of the second part deals with policy implications. Five crucial objectives of a flexicurity policy based on a life-course approach are identified, and a range of options to improve flexibility and security over the lifetime are being discussed. These options include e.g. measures to increase time sovereignty, subsidised part-time schemes for care and lifelong learning, the use of accumulated pension savings to finance other activities during the course of working life, and the role of minimum provision in social security schemes.

Bringing together international case studies, this book offers theoretical and empirical insights into the interaction between social work and social policy. Moving beyond existing studies on policy practice, the book employs the policy cycle as a core analytical frame and focuses on the influence of social work(ers) in the problem definition, agenda setting, policy formulation and implementation of social policy. Twenty-three contributors offer examples of policy making from seven different countries and demonstrate how social work practitioners can become political actors, while also encouraging policy makers to become aware of the potential of social work for the social policy-making process.

Welches Wissen haben Professorinnen und Professoren über Gender- und Gleichstellungsfragen und wie setzen sie Gleichstellung in ihren wesentlichen Handlungsfeldern - als Führungskräfte in Forschung, Lehre und akademischer Selbstverwaltung - um? Ziel des Bandes ist es, das Zusammenwirken von Wissen und Haltungen von Professor*innen auf der einen Seite und ihren Handlungsorientierungen im Hinblick auf Gleichstellung auf der anderen Seite zu beleuchten. What do professors know about gender and equality issues, and how do they implement equality in their main fields of action - research, teaching and academic self-administration? The aim of this volume is to shed light on the nexus of professors' knowledge and attitudes on the one hand and on action orientations with regard to gender equality on the other.
