| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the influences of an ‘activation policy’ which has been deeply connected with labour market and social security schemes on the European welfare states reforms using a Dutch case study. Dutch welfare state reform in the 1990 introduced an activation policy which was different from the traditional social security scheme of depending on cash benefit. The policy was based on the view that participation in the labour market could solve the problems related to poverty and social exclusion. However, the policy actually increased number of‘flexible’(unstable) workers, and expanded ‘working poor’ households. Thus, this study focuses on the Dutch welfare reforms based on the activation policy, with the elements of neo-liberalism, and makes some suggestions for Japanese policy.
