Beyond `employability' - 2000 - p.729-49 - Nov
Concentrating on British welfare-to-work policy, the paper presents a critique of `employability-based' approaches to supply-side intervention in the labour market. It is argued that the likely macroeconomic impacts of the Blair Government's `New Deal' programme are being exaggerated, and that a more realistic appreciation of the limits and possibilities of such supply-side interventions is required. Some suggestions for a reformed approach to welfare-to-work policy - based on a client-centred and developmental ethos, an enlarged concept of `employment' (embracing the social economy) and active social redistribution - are proposed. - Reproduced
