Missing Data Report |
||
|
The Missing data report for Work Package 3 includes a description of all the data that is missing from the research conducted in the 20 cities covered by WILCO. For the WILCO project, we collected the available data about social inequality and exclusion in the local labour market, unemployment patterns, housing market and the use of child care facilities, as well as data on patterns of social cohesion. However, not all statistical data are equally available in all countries and cities. In this report, we identify missing data in order that other researchers and statistical offices.

"Measures of Social Cohesion: Comparative Report" |
||
 |
This report compares the findings of the twenty city reports, analysing patterns of socio-economic inequality specific to our chosen city cases; specifically with regard to the structure of the labour market (employment by sector, activity rate by gender and age, unemployment rate by gender and age); the demographic structure (changes in the population over the preceding ten years, the structure of the population by age, proportion of immigrants on the overall population, old age dependency ratio), the inequality structure (gaps in the unemployment rates between centre and periphery, inequalities in the education level of the population, gender gaps in the activity rate and employment). The comparative analysis among similar situations in different cities clarifies local factors influencing why and how people get into these situations (or are protected from them). In contrast to the city reports, the results of the comparison are not organised geographically, but by policy area and target group.

City Reports |
||
 |
A total of 20 European cities will be studied in depth in the framework of WILCO. These 20 WILCO City Reports represent the first attempt at understanding how these cities have developed in the last decades and how these changes have contributed to the current landscape in the areas of housing, employment, family and immigration. The authors are happy to receive your feedback and comments either directly or via the WILCO Feedback form. The following reports will be published shortly: Malmö and Medway.

"Local Welfare from a Historical and Institutional Perspective: A Comparative Report" |
||
 |
In the country reports (published separately), we described the structure of the overall welfare state and the degree of centralisation within the structure of the welfare state and the position of ‘the local’ in shaping welfare. We also made an inventory of key regulations, financial provisions, contractual arrangements and entitlements. These were focused on the three policy fields of child care, employment and housing. The comparative report sums up the findings of the country reports, noting significant similarities and differences, as well as recent trends that are likely to be relevant in the local research in the later stages of the project.

National reports on local welfare systems focused on housing, employment and child care |
||
 |
The country reports describe the background for our later research. The project focuses on local welfare. However, national welfare systems vary strongly and it is necessary to clarify this historical background against which our analysis of the macro, meso and micro levels within cities will be set. In the country reports, we describe the historical-institutional background on the basis of two dimensions, the structure of the overall welfare state and the degree of centralisation within the structure of the welfare state and the position of ‘the local’ in shaping welfare. Second, we have made an inventory of variables that must be regarded as formal pre-conditions for local welfare policies and initiatives. These variables include key regulations, financial provisions, contractual arrangements and entitlements. We have specified these variables for the three policy fields of child care, employment and housing. United Kingdom (WILCO Publication #01) - 1170 KB |
