Description

Explore the shifting landscape of social security through this comparative study of France and the United States. Since the late 1980s, welfare policies in both nations have moved toward a model that prioritizes work obligations and independence over traditional income maintenance entitlements. This volume provides a detailed look at how advanced industrialized nations are implementing work-oriented measures to reshape their social safety nets. Readers will find an analysis of various reform strategies, including financial incentives, training programs, insertion contracts, and specific requirements for job searches and acceptance. While the specific implementation details differ between the French and American systems, the evidence presented shows that these two nations share more commonalities in their approach to welfare reform than is typically recognized. This book is an essential resource for understanding the modern evolution of social policy and the global trend toward work-based welfare models.
