Abstract: Are the policies to combat unemployment and social exclusion really ways of getting the jobless back to work or do they represent alternative forms of exclusion in already vulnerable sectors such as social protection and employment? Do the changing nature of work and the wage insecurity this entails augur a deepening of the current rift in society or an opportunity for new and appropriately devised social plans to safeguard the social and economic cohesion of Europe and citizenship extended to and exercised by all? The reduction of working time, the active use of unemployment benefits, the modernisation of education and training systems and generalised access to them, new sources of employment and the social economy may offer new paths to thinking about the current modes of production which generate exclusion.
