Objective
The European Low-wage Employment Research network LoWER, started 1996 under FP4, proposes to continue its activities focusing on the uncertain position of the low skilled in societies increasingly functioning on the basis of formal knowledge, particularly for allocating jobs - and thus income and social and self-esteem. The network provides important links to new research including that of many European projects. It will consolidate its membership, broaden its base in the candidate countries and shift its f ocus. The study of changes occurring in the functioning of present-day labour markets and work organisations regarding skill contributes importantly to the understanding of developments towards and potential effects of a knowledge-based society. In the low -skilled and low-paid labour market the structures of time (part-time jobs), skill (overeducation and lacking training) and households (worklessness, inheritance) are evolving rapidly, with strong interactions, to the disadvantage of low-skilled persons an d social cohesion. The network will stimulate the study of these trends bringing together in the perspective of the low skilled (workshops, open-call conferences, expert groups, exchange of personnel) scholars who have built a tradition of research co-oper ation stretching well beyond the network. The work is organised in packages addressing 1) individual mobility & employer behaviour, 2) household behaviour & intergenerational transmission, 3) gender & skills and 4) skills & training - each contributing to the study of the above trends. Interestingly, levels, processes and trends differ significantly across countries (e.g. declining part-time employment in some countries) and much can be learned from international comparisons, including the U SA. They will also be considered from different angles, micro meso and macro, and explicitly address the demand side. The activities go beyond pure analysis to enable #

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
