In this introduction to the special issue of Sociologia del lavoro, devoted to labour transformations and welfare policies in the context of the ecological crisis, the authors review the state of the debate, focusing on three emerging concepts: climate justice, just transition and sustainable welfare. They provide an analysis of the academic and non-academic contexts in which these concepts have emerged and the kinds of programmatic questions that they raise for the study of labour transformations, social movements and welfare policies. After discussing how the collected contributions operationalise the three concepts in different empirical and research contexts, the article outlines some critical gaps that warrant being addressed or explored further and propose a few methodological and analytical pointers that are useful for the continuation of the debate and, thus, the growth of a field of analysis that is destined to occupy a major space in the sociology of labour.

Nei paesi ad alto reddito i programmi che includono trasferimenti monetari condizionati sono stati ampiamenti utilizzati in determinati settori. Nel corso degli anni sono state realizzate numerose analisi per sintetizzare le evidenze degli effetti prodotti da tali misure nei paesi in via di sviluppo; sono invece molto limitate quelle realizzate nei paesi con economie avanzate. È a partire da questi presupposti che nasce il lavoro di revisione della letteratura, presentato nel volume e focalizzato sui programmi realizzati nei paesi dell’area Ocse.

The role of voluntarism has become ever more important in the Italian and European discussions on the crisis and transformation of welfare administration. Unfortunately in many cases it is taken for granted in its forms, meanings, roles and procedures. The risk is that the institutional system may choose to face a crisis by following development strategies on the basis of its own needs and preformed visions. This could lead to greatly distorted effects that force some realities to adapt in contradictory ways and drive others that do not follow such paradigms towards extinction. The essay shows pivotal aspects and possible perspectives of the relationship between the variety of voluntarism forms and the welfare system, focusing on assumptions and points of view that will help comprehend some of the recent developments and diverse experiences.

Impresa sociale e politiche di attivazione tra frammentazione istituzionale e risorse territoriali - The various types of resources mobilised by European social enterprises The objective of this paper is to analyse, on the basis of the substantive definition of the economy (elaborated in the footsteps of Polanyi), the various types of resources mobilised by European social enterprises. European social enterprises use a complex mix of resources based on four types of economic relations: the market, redistribution, the socio-politically embedded market, and the reciprocity. A European typology of Work Integration Social Enterprise (WISEs) is put forward, in order to understand these enterprises’ dynamic across national borders.

In provincia di Brescia il volontariato costituisce un fenomeno radicato, di cui la presente ricerca conferma le caratteristiche che ne fanno una realtà vivace. L’indagine segnala tuttavia come i soggetti dell’azione volontaria devono quotidianamente fare fronte a diverse difficoltà, come: seguire i mutamenti sociali, favorire la partecipazione di volontari giovani e interagire con l’evolversi dei processi economici e politico-istituzionali senza snaturare scopi e caratteristiche distintive.
