Welfare Innovations at the Local Level in Favour of Cohesion
The general objective of the project is to comparatively analyse how local welfare systems can favour social cohesion, with particular reference to three target groups: precarious young adults; single mothers; migrants. The research forsees the analysis of three policy areas – employment, housing and preschool childcare – throughout the different government scales, the reconstruction of local welfare systems in two urban areas per country, and the identification of innovative practices and of the conditions for their exportability.
