L’auteur livre quelques réflexions personnelles sur la spécificité de la réponse européenne à la question sociale telle qu’elle se pose aujourd’hui. Davantage qu’une émanation de la politique de l’Union européenne, il voit dans le modèle social européen un patrimoine commun aux peuples de l’Europe en matière d’emploi et de travail. Ce concept traduit une triple réalité : une régulation sociale fondée sur la concertation ; un régime élaboré de protection sociale et l’existence de services publics à finalité sociale, ainsi qu’un interventionnisme actif de l’État en matières industrielle, économique et sociale. Si ce modèle doit faire face à des critiques et à des difficultés, l’évolution semble davantage aller dans le sens de son adaptation que dans celui de sa disparition.

In most studies of the automotive industry in Canada, the workforce has been constructed as uniformly white and male. However, a tiny number of Black men have long had a presence in the industry, occupying the dirtiest, most hazardous, and least desirable jobs in the auto foundries of St. Catharines and Windsor, Ontario. This paper attempts to reconstruct the working lives and union involvements of these men. The paper highlights the themes of racialization and gendering within the sphere of capitalist production. In examining multiple oppressions, simultaneously experienced and resisted, the study furthermore demonstrates the ways in which relations of domination are far more complex and historically-contingent than most analyses of industry and "the auto worker" have suggested.

Lowell, Massachusetts, had a substantial French-Canadian community in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The workforce in the mill town was predominantly female. This study focuses on single French Canadian women in Lowell from 1900 to 1920. The author uses federal census schedules to examine their employment, earnings, and living arrangements. One major finding is that most of the workers were daughters living in households headed by fathers. Housework and family care obligations fell on daughters, which added to their economic responsibilities and reduced their marriageability.
