"Issues of justice, freedom and equality have preoccupied humanity since the emergence of the earliest social communities.
The paths and steps towards achieving these general goals have been as varied as the places, people and organisations involved. Put simply, there is no single blueprint for social progress.
Movements in Europe resulting in improved social conditions have arisen from a multitude of factors and trends. Humanism, the Enlightenment, workers', women's and civil rights movements, the international peace movement and countless small- and large-scale currents and initiatives have contributed to social progress and emancipation in European countries. The pathways may have differed, but the goals have been the same.
Featuring examples from 13 nations across Europe, this publication aims to give readers a better understanding of how the situation has developed in these countries, to foster mutual learning and to encourage further engagement with the specific histories of social progress in Europe. This is a desire shared by all those who participated in this project. After all, recognising and accepting similarities and differences is one of the key prerequisites for developing viable ideas and programmes for a social, just and peaceful Europe."

"Les questions de justice, de liberté et d'égalité des droits occupent les hommes depuis la naissance des premières communautés sociales. Les chemins et les étapes dans la poursuite de ces grands objectifs sont aussi divers que les lieux où elle s'est développée et les acteurs qui y ont contribué. En un mot : il n'existe pas de panacée ni de modèle unique pour le progrès social. Les mouvements qui, en Europe, ont conduit à de meilleures conditions sociales, s'articulent sur de nombreux moments forts et s'inspirent d'un grand nombre d'orientations. Humanisme, Lumières, mouvement ouvrier, des femmes ou pour les droits des citoyens, mouvement international pour la paix, sans compter d'innombrables initiatives et courants, les uns limités ou éphémères, d'autres majeurs : tous ont contribué au progrès social et à l'émancipation dans les pays européens. Les objectifs sont communs, mais à chacun sa route ! À l'aide d'exemples tirés de l'expérience de treize pays d'Europe, ce recueil de textes veut ouvrir à une meilleure compréhension de l'évolution sociale dans ces pays, favoriser l'apprentissage mutuel et inciter à une plus grande attention portée aux aspects variés de l'histoire des progrès sociaux en Europe. C'est le vœu de tous ceux qui ont participé à ce projet; car la reconnaissance et l'acceptation de ce que nous avons en commun et de différent est l'une des conditions nécessaires pour formuler des idées et des programmes pertinents pour une Europe sociale, juste et pacifique."

"L'essere umano si è occupato delle questioni relative a giustizia, libertà e uguaglianza sin da quando sorsero le prime forme di comunità sociale. I percorsi e le fasi verso il raggiungimento di questi obiettivi generali sono tanto vari quanto la molteplicità di luoghi e soggetti. Si potrebbe riassumere affermando che non si può pianificare il progresso sociale. I movimenti europei che conducono e hanno condotto a condizioni migliori sotto il profilo sociale derivano da molte fasi e orientamenti. L'Umanesimo, l'Illuminismo, i movimenti per i diritti civili in generale e nella specie a favore dei lavoratori e della popolazione femminile, i movimenti pacifisti internazionali nonché le innumerevoli correnti ed iniziative di maggiore o minore portata hanno contribuito tutti al progresso sociale e all'emancipazione nei paesi europei: stessi obiettivi, percorsi propri! Il presente libro di lettura, grazie ad esempi raccolti in tredici nazioni europee, si prefigge di contribuire ad una migliore comprensione degli sviluppi verificatisi in tali paesi. Esso deve stimolare l'apprendimento reciproco e indurre a continuare ad occuparsi di vicende specifiche del progresso sociale in Europa. Questo era e rimane l'auspicio di tutti coloro che hanno partecipato al progetto, poiché il riconoscimento e l'accettazione delle analogie e delle differenze costituiscono presupposti necessari per lo sviluppo di idee e programmi finalizzati ad un'esistenza socialmente equa e pacifica, in Europa e per l'Europa."

"LOS TEMAS relacionados con la justicia, la libertad y la igualdad vienen interesando a la humanidad desde la aparición de las primeras comunidades sociales. Los caminos y los pasos hacia la realización de estos objetivos generales han sido tan variados como los lugares y los actores implicados. O sea: no existe un modelo único para el progreso social.
Los movimientos en Europa que han dado lugar a una mejora de las condiciones sociales han surgido de una multitud de factores y tendencias. El humanismo, la Iluminación, los movimientos de trabajadores, mujeres y derechos civiles, el movimiento internacional por la paz e innumerables corrientes e iniciativas a pequeña y gran escala han contribuido al progreso social y a la emancipación en los países europeos. Los caminos pueden haber sido diferentes pero los objetivos eran los mismos.
Esta publicación, que incluye ejemplos de 13 países de toda Europa, pretende ofrecer a los lectores una mejor comprensión de cómo ha ido evolucionando la situación en estos países, fomentar el aprendizaje mutuo y potenciar un compromiso continuado con las historias específicas del progreso social en Europa. Éste es un deseo compartido por todos los que participaron en este proyecto. Al fin y al cabo, reconocer y aceptar similitudes y diferencias es uno de los requisitos previos clave para desarrollar ideas y programas viables para una Europa social, justa y pacífica."

"This study estimated the economic effects of hypothetical interventions improving different aspects of Danish workers' psychosocial work environment. We found substantial economic gains, mostly driven by savings related to sickness absence, from simultaneous improvements of all aspects. Economic effects from improvements in specific aspects varied a lot. The results may be useful when considering implementing future real-life interventions."

"We re-analyze the effects of a Danish active labor market programme social experiment, which included a range of sub-treatments, including meetings with caseworkers, job search assistance courses, and activation programmes. We use newly developed non-parametric methods to examine how the effects of the experimental treatment vary during the unemployment spell. Non-parametric techniques are important from a methodological point of view, since parametric/distributional assumptions are in conflict with the concept of experimental evidence. We find that the effects of the experiment vary substantially during the unemployment spell."

"Using Danish linked employer–employee data, we find that: (i) exposing the worker to physical hazards leads to a 3 percentage point increase in the probability of voluntary turnover from the average rate of 18%; (ii) working in night shift results in an 11-percentage point hike; and (iii) having an unsupportive boss leads to a 6-percentage point jump. High involvement work practices are found to play a significant role in mitigating the adverse effects of workplace hazards. Finally, the worker under adverse workplace conditions is found to improve the 5-year odds of rectifying such workplace adversities by quitting the firm."

"We shed new light on the effects of having children on hourly wages by exploiting access to data on the entire population of employed same-sex twins in Denmark. Our second contribution is the use of administrative data on absenteeism; the amount of hours off due to holidays and sickness. Our results suggest that childbearing reduces female hourly wages but the principal explanation is in fact mothers' higher levels of absence. We find a positive wage premium for fathers."

"In Denmark labor has been organized in independent but cooperating craft unions for more than a century. Within an extremely simple model of a small open economy facing imperfect competition, we analyze four different ways of organizing the labor market and show that the Danish model (partial centralization of the wage setting process) may be accounted for as the outcome of a two-stage Nash bargaining game, being robust in relation to changes in market conditions, and likely close to optimum from the point of view of society as a whole."
