Portraits of Labor Market Exclusion provides a basis for national and EU policy design and priority setting for interventions that are suited to particular life situations among the inactive and unemployed. By shedding light on the social and economic risks faced by this population, as well as on the potential barriers they may encounter, this crosscutting analysis moves the dialogue on labor market integration from a labor-only view to a broader approach that encompasses social policy and public services. In this way, the book contributes important insights for the employment-oriented design of social policy.

In this joint project of the European Commission and the World Bank, profiles of the unemployed and inactive populations in six EU Member States—Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, and Romania—were developed through cluster analysis and interpretation of data from the European Income and Living Conditions Survey. The profiles that emerge go beyond simple demographics (male/female, young/old, rural/urban) and start to identify life situations and potential barriers to employment (lack of experience, lack of education, caregiving responsibilities, distance from services and jobs, income from transfers, and so on).

Portraits of Labor Market Exclusion sheds new light on the life situations and labor market experiences of individuals and households during the financial, economic, and employment crisis between 2008 and 2011. Identifying those individuals with limited or no labor market attachment is fundamental for a holistic approach to inclusive policymaking for the inactive and unemployed.
