• W290366867 abstract "1 The discourse about poverty Germany For a long time, poverty was a matter of material resources. Of course, living poverty means struggling to meet basic needs and is closely related to lack of money and an inability into guarantee basic subsistence. This remains unchanged. However, since the late 1990s the discourse about poverty Germany, inspired by EU policy thinking, goes beyond this monetary focus. Today, being poor represents more than having little money, because poor people are likely to withdraw from social, cultural and political participation. They face a high risk of non--monetary terms as well, which turn is likely to diminish a society's capacity to ensure cohesion general (Silver 1994, Barnes et al 2002). Two main axes shape the German poverty debate. One emphasizes the risk that society might suffer from polarization as the gap between rich and poor people is widening. This is related to the debate of a rising underclass: About eight percent of the total population belongs to this group according to a study conducted by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. Their main characteristics are long-term unemployment and lack of prospects, political inactivity or extremist orientation concentrating to a large extent the Eastern part of Germany (Neugebauer 2007). The other position is dominated by the opinion that downward mobility is no longer a class related risk. Poverty is supposed to gradually increase, eventually becoming an every--day risk, and is supposed to become especially widespread among the middle class (Bude 2008, Castel and Dorre 2009). Policy debates throughout Europe make frequent reference to the term social exclusion even though there is little consensus on how to define its substance. Poverty, unemployment and the multidimensionality of disadvantages are commonly understood as bases or even synonyms for exclusion, taking it for granted that they impede integration and that a decent standard of living decides who is in or out society. The consequences of disadvantages for individual participation chances as well as for overall cohesion move to the forefront. This is reflected theoretical developments which emphasize the capacity of individuals to live a decent life and draw attention to the political circumstances, institutional structures and welfare state arrangements that enable people to live respectable, affluent and secure lives (Sen 1993, 1999). Due to this change perspective, EU policy thinking focused more and more combating unemployment to diminish poverty risks. Access to the labor market is regarded as most important for enabling participation chances, because employment not only significantly increases a household's income but also its integration. Germany, like other European countries, experienced growing unemployment rates and demographical changes during the recession period, which resulted a need to diminish security expenditures and to raise employment rates. Therefore, the activation policy which has been launched during the last decade is surely inspired by the European policy discourse to ensure cohesion, but primarily reflects governmental needs to decrease unemployment and security expenditures. Moreover, the change perspective on poverty as such (from distribution to integration) was accompanied by a change attitude with regard to the question of individual responsibility for the experience of and escape from poverty. The key phrase und Fordern (rights and duties) paraphrases the general approach that institutional as well as individual efforts have to be strengthened order to improve the labor market situation and diminish poverty rates. On the one hand, labor market agencies have been reformed and supportive measures have been extended. On the other hand, access to unemployment benefits and the level of assistance have been restricted with regard to the period of entitlement and its eligibility order to increase effort to return to the labor market as soon as possible and accept work for lower pay. …" @default.
