Social Welfare Bill 2009
The Social Welfare Bill will legislate 'profiling'. Profiling will be used to identify those who are most at risk of falling into long-term unemployment. This information will be used to actively encourage those clients to participate in Active Labour Market Programmes (ALMP's). Sounds pretty innocent, but when you consider the ham-fisted'ness of the professionals who will be using these tools on the most ostracised from the Labour Market, you begin to have concern.

Below is a link to the ESRI slide-show from April 09 which gives an insight on the 'position' of the people who will be using this 'tool'.

I haven't read the Social Welfare Bill yet, but its success depends on injecting equity into the labor market rather than the race to the bottom through benchmarking which discriminated against the lower paid and reduced our competitiveness.
