L'insertion des jeunes en France et en Italie. Politiques d’activation, stratégies institutionnelles et dynamiques professionnelles

In Europe, in the last few decades, the subsidiarisation process of the social policies and employment strategies has created a strong impact on the local actors’ networks that are implementing the new active policies. The consequences of this operation have to be managed by professionals who, while working with the general public, have to explain to the users the fractures of a welfare state in transition from a socialization of collective risks to an individual responsibility of protection. In this way they give a meaning to the new institutional geographical and social frontiers that are built by active political devices.
