Mellem arbejde og "off-day" — tvetydighedens muligheder i sociale virksomheder

Abstract

Den økonomiske krise kalder på et øget fokus på arbejdsintegration af udsatte borgere-et fokus, der bla. adresseres af de sociale virksomheder. I denne artikel undersøger vi arbejde i to sådanne sociale virksomheder: Hvordan det praktiseres og forstås blandt deltagerne.

For this chapter I include studies by Svensson (2014) and by Jørgensen (2017) since they provide in depth inquiries into work identification, work barriers and personal motivation for choosing a social enterprise as their paid work.…”
