Abstract

The theme discussed in Chapter 2, of in-work poverty, is developed further in Chapter 5 by Natalija Atas in a qualitative study of the strategies in the everyday life of the working poor in Lithuania. The remaining eight chapters focus either on the roles of different policy actors in social policy outcomes or on wider issues of systemic change. The range of countries covered includes some that have not had much attention paid to them in social policy studies, particularly countries of the former Yugoslavia, and a few chapters approach their subjects from quite novel perspectives.
