Informal work – family care, voluntary work, and undeclared or unregulated work – is a critical form of labor in today’s economy, yet remains underanalyzed and examined. This volume develops a comprehensive conceptual framework of informal work and analyses systematically the relationship of formal and informal work. Using a coherent theoretical and methodological approach, this volume explores informal and formal work in six countries and contributes to our empirical knowledge of informal work and its different interrelations with formal work in various societies. A landmark study in the analysis of work, the book demonstrates how the relationship of formal and informal work is developing, how this can be explained in the specific context of the arrangement of work and welfare, and in which ways informal work possibly contributes to social integration and social cohesion.

‘Active ageing’ has become a key phrase in discourses about challenges and remedies for demographic ageing and the enrolment of older adults into voluntary work is an important dimension of it. The pattern and factors conditioning volunteering among older people has so far been an under-researched topic in Europe and this is the first book to study volunteering among older people comparatively and comprehensively.In this topical book older people’s volunteering is studied in eight European countries at the structural, macro, meso and micro levels. Overall it highlights how different interactions between the levels facilitate or hinder older people’s inclusion in voluntary work and makes policy suggestions for an integrated strategy.This book provides important new insights for academics and students interested in ageing societies, active ageing and voluntary work. It will also be of great value for policy makers and practitioners in third sector and voluntary organisations.

Rapidly Increasing Retirement Ages

Changing Employment Practices for Older Workers

This prescient book provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of retirement practices in Denmark, Germany and the UK. Per H. Jensen interrogates the factors behind rapidly increasing retirement ages in these countries between 2000 and 2018. Drawing on the age arrangement approach, Rapidly Increasing Retirement Ages considers the position of older workers in the context of changing norms and ideals, discourses, welfare states, labour markets, and families as well as the changing characteristics of older workers themselves. Jensen uses statistical data to highlight how the developing practices of older workers are prompted by societal transitions from an early to late exit age arrangement. This includes transitions from early to late exit discourses, from welfare states to enabling states, from closed to open labour markets, from male breadwinner to dual breadwinner family models, and from low to high levels of work ability among older workers. In addition Jensen shows how the different dimensions of change are connected and interrelated. Intersectional in its scope, this book posits an illuminating, comprehensive and much-needed response to this growing societal issue. This book is a vital read for academics, researchers and students of sociology, social policy, economics, welfare policy and political science. Providing a thorough examination of older workers in modern society, this book is also of benefit to practitioners and policymakers working in business management, public policy and social welfare.

Changing labour markets, welfare policies and citizenship readdresses the question of how full citizenship may be preserved and developed in the face of enduring labour market pressures. It:clarifies the relationship between changing labour markets, welfare policies and citizenship;discusses possible ways in which the spill-over effect from labour market marginality to loss of citizenship can be prevented;specifies this problem in relation to the young, older people, men and women and immigrants;offers theoretical and conceptual definitions of citizenship as a new, alternative approach to empirical analyses of labour market marginalisation and its consequences;highlights the lessons to be learned from differing approaches in European countries.

There have been major shifts in the framework of social policy and welfare across Europe. Adopting a multi-level, comparative and interdisciplinary approach, this book develops a critical analysis of policy change and welfare reform in Europe.The book applies a dynamic and change oriented perspective to shed light on policy changes that are often poorly understood in the welfare literature, and contributes to a further development of the theoretical and conceptual frameworks for understanding social change.Using citizenship as a focus, several dimensions of change are analysed simultaneously: changes in the discipline of social policy itself; the changing character of social problems; changes in social policy and citizenship; and the emergence of new forms of social integration. The book also speculates on how different dimensions of change are interlinked.

Migration och tillhörighet : inklusions- och exklusionsprocesser i Skandinavien

Invandring börjar alltid med utvandring. Migranter lämnar inte utan vidare sina hemländer och blir ett med invandringsländerna. I stället äger deras liv rum i spänningsfältet mellan ut- och invandringsländerna, och därigenom utmanar de frågan om tillhörighet. Forskarna i denna bok -- etnologer, sociologer, pedagoger, socialantropologer, historiker, ekonomhistoriker och religionsvetare från Danmark, Norge och Sverige -- presenterar en rad aktuella teoretiska och analytiska ingångar till studiet av migration. Som två centrala aspekter av migration utforskar artiklarna bland annat hur migranters ofta mångtydiga tillhörighet produceras och tar form, samt hur invandringsländerna hanterar den ökade samhälleliga komplexitet som hänger samman med migration. Författarna sätter med olika begrepp fokus på produktion av och villkor för inklusion och exklusion. Genom sina olika teoretiska infallsvinklar bryter bokens författare med den oft a dominerande uppmärksamheten på invandrarnas påstådda brister, och sätter i dess ställe en forskning som undersöker relationerna mellan migration och tillhörighet som komplexa processer. Samtidigt prövas forskningens möjligheter att omspänna just dessa komplexiteter. Artiklarna är huvudsakligen baserade på kvalitativa studier inom utbildning, arbetsmarknadsrelationer, den politisk-administrativa organiseringen av integrationsfältet och unga sekulära muslimers omvärldsförståelse i Skandinavien. Således tecknar boken också konturerna av forskningsfältets empiriska bredd och komplexitet.

Soon, Cities of Power: The Urban, the National, the Popular, and the Global by Göran Therborn will be on the market. In between Science, Class and Society (1976) and The Killing Fields of Inequality (2013, Swedish translation: Ojämlikhet dödar, 2016) Göran has consistently challenged received wisdom in politics and the social sciences. His Between Sex and Power (2004) is the current global map of family relations and gender equality. With the 1968 article "From Petrograd to Saigon" he laid the foundation for his worldwide reputation as an innovative public intellectual. His critique of the Frankfurt School had repercussions around Europe. Today his work is spread across six continents, Latin America in particular, and has been translated into more than twenty languages.

This book is a critical appraisal of the themes Göran Therborn has pursued up till now, and is introduced by Robin Blackburn, for almost twenty years his editor at New Left Review.

"Göran's continual alertness to different paths to or through modernity, and to varieties of capitalism, will very soon be tested in a dramatic way." - Ian Gough, London School of Economics

"This is a very important project and Göran richly deserves it." - Michael Burawoy, UC Berkeley
