Popis: Since the 1990s, the OECD and EU have fostered activation policies in the struggle against unemployment. Two regimes have been identified as archetypes of the activation policies: the social democrat regime (Northern European model) and the liberal regime (Anglo-Saxon model). Within the liberal archetype, activation policies focus on incentives to work (making work pay), preventing dependence on public assistance and making employment a policy priority (work first). The social democrat archetype puts together sanctions and services for job seekers, employees and in-care citizens in a contractual framework, fosters flexibility while highly socialising its risks, and provides high substitute revenues and high life-long learning.
