Es wird immer wieder behauptet, dass sich Sozialleistungsempfänger wegen mangelnder Lohnanreize gegen die Aufnahme von Arbeit entscheiden und damit dauerhaft in Armut verbleiben (Armutsfallentheorem). Sozialpolitische Reformen setzen aufgrund dieser Befürchtungen zunehmend auf "Arbeit gegen Armut". Ronald Gebauer untersucht in einem ersten Schritt historisch-soziologisch die Auffassung, dass Arbeit der Schlüssel zur Lösung des Armutsproblems in modernen Gesellschaften ist. In einem weiteren Schritt werden die theoretischen Grundlagen des Armutsfallentheorems diskutiert. Wie verhält es sich aber nun mit dem Realitätsgehalt des Armutsfallentheorems? Die meisten empirischen Untersuchungen belegen, dass Sozialleistungsbezug überwiegend kurzfristiger Natur ist. Ausgehend von diesen Ergebnissen wird eine eigene Datenauswertung des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (Sozialhilfe) vorgestellt.

Au-delà de l. a. peur de manquer, de los angeles famine, angoisse prégnante en Occident jusqu’à une période encore récente, il y a l. a. crainte de manger du corrompu, du malsain, de l’immonde. En même temps que l’Occident a cherché à réduire los angeles pénurie, il a progressivement mis sous surveillance l’ensemble de los angeles chaîne alimentaire. Notre comportement contemporain vis-à-vis de l. a. nourriture a onc une longue histoire que Madeleine Ferrières s’attache à reconstituer et à analyser. Des règlements médiévaux de boucherie aux views géniales de Giovanni Lancisi, médecin de l. a. cour pontificale au début du XVIIIe siècle ; du conflit entre symbolique faste ou néfaste des aliments et médecine et hygiénisme, mais aussi, plus tard, avec l. a. chimie et les sciences vétérinaires, à los angeles peur des poissons, levures, plantes ou légumes importés d’autres horizons ; de l. a. suspicion à l’endroit du cuivre ou des conserves à l. a. mise en reason de l’air vicié des villes, l’Occident invente, avec précaution et prévention, un ordre alimentaire illustré de manière éloquente au début du XXe siècle par le natural meals and Drug Act américain. Mais cette invention n’est pas allée sans une autre : celle du consommateur. Rassasié, revendiquant une « bonne bouffe », prudent, voire savant ou se croyant tel, il appartient à l’utopie de l’abondance et de l. a. sécurité. Miroir ambitious de notre Occidental lifestyle que cette query des peurs alimentaires !
