Abstract: 본 과제는 노동부 국제협상팀에서 제112차 경제협력개발기구(OECD) 고용노동사회위원회(ILSAC) 정례회의 참석을 요청해 옴에 따라 회의의 주요 의제 자료인 ‘Sickness, Disability and Work : Breaking the Barriers, Vol. 2 호주, 룩셈부르크, 스페인, 영국’의 국가사례들을 요약 정리한 것이다. OECD의 분석에 따르면 최근 노동시장의 재구조화가 이루어지면서 핵심 일자리가 축소되고 노동 불안정성이 증가되는 부정적인 변화가 일어나고 있다고 한다. 이러한 변화는 ‘틈새직종(niche jobs)’의 상실과 엄격해진 근로조건, 근로 압력으로 인한 건강손상과 스트레스 증가, 병으로 인한 결근 휴직(sickness absence)의 증가 등의 2가지 경로를 통해 장애인구에 영향을 미친다고 한다.. 이러한 문제는 노동시장의 문제를 의료적인 관점으로 환원하는 ‘medicalization of labor market problems’라는 새로운 현상을 야기시키고 있다. 즉 평균적인 건강 상태는 더욱 향상되고 있다고 보고되나 왜 더 많은 생산가능 인구들이 노동시장을 떠나 건강과 관련한 소득 보장에 의존하는가하는 문제에 직면시키고 있다 하는데, 이에 대해 호주, 룩셈부르크, 스페인, 영국의 장애보상체계와 고용정책을 면밀히 분석하여 비교 분석함으로써 시사점을 제시하고 있다. 결국 병으로 인한 결근, 휴직(sickness absence)의 증가나 장애보상수급은 장애인들의 객관적 혹은 주관적 건강지표와 무관하며, 오히려 국가의 장애정책과 경제적 사회현상에 좌우되는 사안이라고 주장하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 한국의 장애보상체계에 대한 검토와 향후 장애연금 도입 전망에 대한 의견을 제시하였다.

Abstract: New Risks, New Welfare: The Transformation of the European Welfare State. Edited by Peter Taylor-Gooby. New York: Oxford University Press, 2004. 264p. 35.00 paper.The comparative welfare state literature has taken some important turns in the past decades, moving first from a focus on the causes of its growth to studies of retrenchment. Lately, scholarship has become more preoccupied with welfare state adaptation to the new risk and needs structure. This book falls squarely in the latter camp and includes European scholars, such as Bruno Palier, Guiliano Bonoli, and Peter Taylor-Gooby, who have been exploring this theme for some years now.

Abstract: Em Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins contribui para a consolidacao do Pensamento Feminista Negro propondo uma teoria centrada na teoria critica na qual se privilegia o ponto de vista das mulheres negras. Para desenvolver o argumento e as estrategias da construcao do seu marco teorico, Collins busca na vivencia e na experiencia da mulher negra norte-americana o trama principal da teoria. Trata-se de um trabalho necessario para a construcao de uma sociedade plural e polifonica cujas diversas vozes podem e devem ser acomodadas no mundo do conhecimento e das ciencias. O trabalho de Collins articula diversas correntes teoricas como estudos de genero e etnia, classes sociais, sociologia da ciencia, pensamento social marxista, teoria critica. Ela se inspira na Perspectiva Feminista de Sandra Harding, dos estudos da sociologia da ciencia, nos trabalhos de Angela Davis, uma das principais referencias dos estudos de genero e etnia e nas historias de vida das mulheres negras que Collins coleta ao longo da pesquisa. O livro de 335 paginas e dividido em tres partes. E na primeira parte que ela constroi a base teorica do Pensamento Feminista Negro que inclui com parte da Teoria Social Critica. De acordo com a autora, a teoria social critica permite analisar a situacao da mulher negra, assim como entender a supressao e a desvalorizacao do Neide Mayumi Osada

...Finally, the chapter will show how an EU Youth Transition Fund (YTF) could fi ll the gaps by acting as a short-term support to cover young people in their transition from university to work in two respects: fi rstly by overcoming the dualism of labour market policies, by offering protection to young people during a transitional period characterised by precarity (addressing inter-generational inequality) (Standing, 2011); and secondly by offering a universal protection for young adults in order to limit the spreading of inequality among young people (thus addressing intra-generational inequality)....

...Transitions from university to work are not as smooth as they have been depicted in the past: young graduates are affected by new social risks such as underemployment (Bell and Blanchfl ower, 2011) and precarious forms of employment (Standing, 2011)....

...The structures available to young people to cope with these social risks differ (Furlong and Cartmel, 2005), but there is a narrative, supported by Standing’s infl uential work (Standing, 2011) regarding the general diffusion of precarity across skilled and non-skilled workers....

Abstract: This paper documents the pervasiveness of job polarization in 16 Western European countries over the period 1993-2010. It then develops and estimates a framework to explain job polarization using routine-biased technological change and offshoring. This model can explain much of both total job polarization and the split into within- industry and between-industry components.
