“…We refer to this as the pre/post transfer analysis of family allowances (see: Morissens & Sainsbury, 2005;Sainsbury & Morissens, 2012). While this type of analysis cannot account for socio-demographic characteristics, it provides insight into the degree to which poverty is affected by family allowances.…”

“…Migrants' access to social rights, including entitlements to social benefits, has been fundamentally shaped by the immigration policy of nation states, in addition to their welfare system (Sainsbury, 2012). Immigration and naturalisation policies determine who is granted entry to a country; the conditions of admission to a country, including access to the labour market and to social provisions; and the conditions for acquiring permanent residence or citizenship within a country (Baubock, 1994).…”

This article contributes to an understanding of how conditionality applies across social security and immigration policies in restricting the access to social benefits of national citizens, EU and non-EU citizens. Specifically, the article builds on Clasen and Clegg's (2007) framework of conditionality in the context of welfare state reform by extending that conceptual framework to include migration. The framework is applied to examine how different levels of conditionality have been implemented in UK policy reforms to restrict access to rights of residence and to social benefits. It is argued that a conditionality approach moves beyond a binary of citizens and migrants in social policy analysis, contributing to an understanding of the dynamics and interactions of work-related conditions in restricting access to social benefits, with implications for inequalities that cut across national, EU and non-EU citizens in terms of the relationship of particular groups to the market.

“…In recent years, much has been written about the different approaches to immigration and integration in the three Scandinavian countries (Brochmann and Hagelund, 2012), where the schism between Sweden and Denmark in particular is highlighted (Sainsbury, 2012). Brochmann and Hagelund (2012) describe immigration and integration policies in the Nordic countries as "a model with three exceptions".…”

Family-oriented policies in Scandinavia and the challenge of immigration

The social political debate on immigration as a challenge to the welfare states has been remarkably silent on gender and family issues. This article argues that immigrants’ use of welfare benefits targeted at families may be particularly problematic, because such benefits embody certain normative tensions that other social policies do not. It is suggested that tensions may be particularly high in Scandinavia, given the Scandinavian countries’ long-term commitment to facilitating employment for women. What happens when immigrants in the Scandinavian countries use policies targeted at families to maintain gender-complimentary family practices and home-based motherhood? Will such practices be met by reforms that streamline benefits around the principle of universal employment? The article highlights policy arrangements that have been described as detrimental to immigrant women’s employment in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and reviews whether they have been reformed in recent years and, where relevant, what arguments have been used to motivate reforms. The analysis shows that many of the relevant benefits recently have been reformed to become less accommodating of home-based care work. However, politics clearly matter, and it is not given that immigrants’ use of benefits will always be a trump card. Also, dynamics vary according to how controversial the welfare arrangement in question was before it was highlighted as an immigrant issue. A third finding is that even when benefit arrangements that have been highlighted as particularly detrimental to immigrant women’s employment are targeted, politicians often downplay the integration issue when arguing for reform.
