Course content

This course focuses on the policy of workfare and inclusion of individuals into the labor market. The possibilities for integration and inclusion of different individuals and groups is discussed through theories from social anthropology, sociology, social policy and political science. The relevance of differences in living conditions, class, gender, ethnicity, health and education is central. The course will look into the consequences of globalization, migration, and transnationalism for working life, inclusion and exclusion.
