This introductory chapter addresses the broader issue of the role active labour market policy (ALMP) can play in combating social exclusion, which is the central policy question addressed in this book. First, we discuss the concept and objectives of active labour market policy as a distinctive form of policy intervention in the labour market. Second, we consider the meaning and measures of ‘social exclusion’ and the extent to which it is affected by labour market outcomes, especially long-term unemployment. Finally, we discuss the concept of transitional labour markets, its diagnosis of the changing nature of modern labour markets, and its implications for active labour market policies.
