Training and Employment of the Underprivileged: The Role of Social Partners

Abstract

Examines the intentions and implementation of the Belgian “0.18 rule” through interviews with a number of key actors. The rule was a measure introduced in 1989 to ensure that training and employment initiatives for at‐risk groups among the unemployed would be funded by releasing money from industry. Goes on to discuss the question of whether a place can be made for the underprivileged in industrial training.
