2016 Meeting of the Research on Welfare and Labour Market Policies | Linnaeus University, Växjö, Sweden, 7-9 décembre 2016Date limite d'envoi des propositions : 15 avril 2016The aim of the conference is to bring two important research fields together, social welfare and labour market policies.

Labour markets and welfare states have perhaps been the social structures most impacted by economic and political changes and they are also the institutions that, in combination, are central to citizen’s actions and security in daily life. It is important to ask whether the assumptions guiding social welfare policies are keeping pace with rapid changes to work, care and labour patterns. New risks and responsibilities are reconfiguring the state-citizen relation in this time of change. The demand for sustainable welfare development in response to the climate change challenge is also presenting political demands for greater policy synergy across economic, social and environmental fields.

These and related issues will set the agenda for the conference. (...)Lire la suite : RAPSE2016 Call for papers
