In the context of the third work package, the 6 INPART partners carried out national case studies into different types of work. These case studies had the objective to gain insight into the inclusionary and/or exclusionary potentials of these different types of work. The following types of work were distinguished:

• Participation in jobs on the primary labour market (‘regular’ jobs, full-time or part-time, fixed or flexible, temporary or permanent);
• Participation in jobs on the secondary labour market (subsidised jobs for the unemployed, for example job schemes or capitalisation of benefits);
• Participation in unpaid types of work;
• Training and education.

The comparative report discussing the results of the case studies is entitled Inclusion through Participation. The case studies (WP3): comparative report (86 pages).
