                The profile of the participants of work-care projects in Flanders 01/05/2000 - 31/08/2000

                Abstract

                Work-care projects are the most recent type of social employment in Flanders. Because of the very low treshold participants are very vulnerable. However, until now this type of social employment is not yet recognised by the government. To do so, it is necessary to make up a profile of the participants of the projects. This is the central question in this research.

                                                    The traditional housing sector is failing. It forces the local responsibles to innovative initiatives. These initiatives not only suppose new techniques, they also make necessary a policy context in which different authorities and the policy sector collaborate. This research project tries to formulate the terms of such a new housing-policy system.

                                                            Abstract

                                                            The Flemish policy makers don't dispose on a scientific set of criteria to orient the housing policy. By this project we will expose the social and economic determinants of the categorial and subregional housing need in Flanders in order to build up an automatisized permanent inventory as a basis for a more optimal housing policy.
