About the Book
Alban Knecht analyses the changes in political discourses and social-political measures with regards to employment promotion for disadvantaged young people in Austria.Book Synopsis
How can employment policies support young people entering the labour market? Alban Knecht analyses the changes in political discourses and social-political measures with regards to employment promotion for disadvantaged young people in Austria. Against the background of his resource theory, he discusses measures such as inter-company apprenticeships, youth guarantee, and compulsory training and illustrates the impact that the social investment paradigm as well as capability-orientated, neoliberal, and right-wing populist approaches may have on the practical work of professionals and on the young people concerned.Review Quotes
Social Work in the Changing Welfare State is a well-organized book . . . [for] readers who may like to dig into the labyrinths of welfare quagmire in a polarized world doomed to become a victim of its own success.--Brij Mohan and Shweta Singh "Social Development Issues"
