Inhaltsangabe

Pro-’workfare’ governments justify their policies by claiming ’workfare’ helps enhance self-esteem and promote the dignity of the unemployed. On the other hand, welfare activists argue that ’workfare’ suppresses the dignity of unemployed persons. This book examines the concept of human dignity in this context and attempts to clarify its meaning.
