Abstract

GREEN A. E. (1997) Exclusion, unemployment and non-employment, Reg. Studies 31, 505-520. This paper provides an overview of selected issues pertinent to an examination of comparative experiences of exclusion, with foremost emphasis on the labour market dimension of exclusion - notably unemployment and non-employment. The way in which 'losers' and 'winners' emerge as a result of changes in the socio-economic environment is outlined, with particular attention paid to identification of who the losers are, and where they are located. Specific remarks and empirical details of the UK experience are used for illustrative purposes, but much of the discussion relates to the situation in European Union countries more generally. Drawing on this review, some of the issues surrounding the identification and measurement of the unemployed and non-employed are explored, and the need for a range of alternative indicators and methodological perspectives on labour market exclusion is discussed. Finally, some of the issues relevant to the formulation of successful policies to combat unemployment and nonemployment are outlined. GREEN A. E. (1997) L'exclusion, le chomage et l'inactivite, Reg. Studies 31, 505-520. Cet article fournit une vue d'ensemble de certaines questions relatives a un examen des experiences comparees de l'exclusion, soulignant en tout premier lieu l'exclusion dans le contexte du marche du travail - notamment le chomage et l'inactivite. On esquisse la facon dont apparaissent les 'gagnants' et les 'perdants' suite a l'evolution du milieu social et economique, faisant une attention particuliere a l'identitedes 'perdants' et de leur lieu de residence. A titre d'exemple, on se sert des observations specifiques et des details empiriques relatifs a ce qui s'est passe au Royaume-Uni, mais la discussion se rapporte largement a la situation generale dans les pays membres de l'Union europeenne. Puisant dans cette vue d'ensemble, quelquesunes des questions relatives a l'identification et a la mesure du chomage et de l'inactivite sont examinees, et le besoin d'une gamme plus large d'indicateurs alternatifs et de perspectives methodologiques traitant de l'exclusion du marche du travail sont discutes. Pour conclure, quelques-unes des questions pertinentes a la mise au point des politiques qui ont du succes et qui visent la maitrise du chomage et de l'inactivite sont esquissees. GREEN A. E. (1997) Ausgeschlossensein, Erwerbslosigkeit und Nichtbescha¨ftigung, Reg. Studies 31, 505-520. Dieser Aufsatz vermittelt einen U¨berblick u¨ber ausgewa¨hlte Themen, die sich auf eine Untersuchung vergleichbarer Erfahrungen des Ausgeschlossenseins beziehen, wobei die Hauptbetonung auf der Arbeitsmarktdimension des Ausgeschlossenseins liegt, vorallem der Erwerbslosigkeit und des Nichtbescha¨ftigtseins. Es wird die Art und Weise umrissen, in der Wandlungen im sozio-o¨konomischen Klima Verlierer und Gewinner hervobringen, wobei die Aufmerksamkeit sich besonders darauf richtet, festzustellen, wer und wo die Verlierer sind. Es werden zwar spezifische Anmerkungen und empirische Einzelheiten von Erfahrungen im Vereinigten Ko¨nigreich zum Zwecke der Erla¨uterung benutzt, doch der Hauptteil der Diskussion bescha¨ftigt sich mit der Situation in den La¨ndern in der Europa¨ischen Union im allgemeinen. Fragen der Identifizierung und Messung der Erwerbslosen und Nichtbescha¨ftigten werden sodann auf der Grundlage dieses U¨berblicks untersucht, und die Notwendigkeit einer Palette alternativer Indikatoren und methodologischer Ansa¨tze betreff Ausgeschlossensein vom Arbeitsmarkt besprochen. Abschliessend werden einige Themen im Umriss hervorgehoben, die sich auf die Formulierung erfolgversprechender Bestrebungen zur Beka¨mpfung der Erwerbslosigkeit und Nichtbescha¨ftigung beziehen.
