The Rise of Right-wing populism in Europe. Different or similar causes in Western/Eastern countries?

The following paper is a comparative study of labour market policies and strategies of two welfare states, Germany and the United Kingdom (the UK), aiming to smooth the transition of the labour force to the industry 4.0. The fourth industrial revolution arises number of challenges for the labour market, therefore one should be seeing certain changes in production and employment regimes of the given countries. This study tries to find an evidence of changes in employment and production regimes, described by Duncan Gallie (2007) in “Employment Regimes and the Quality of Work”. The study answers the guiding research questions:
-Can any changes in production and employment regimes be seen?
-What kind of solutions do welfare states, belonging to different types types of employment and production regimes offer for addressing the various challenges that has emerged in the current revolution? (The challenges will be identified in the chapter 3.)
The following hypothesis is tested: under conditions of such rapid technological advancement, the production and employment regimes in Germany and the United kingdom are becoming more and more similar.
The study analyzed Gallie’s Employment and Production regimes (2007), identified main characteristics of each regime and recreated some of the statistical tables of the theoretical framework by using renewed statistical data. The study concludes that changes in production
regimes are indeed happening, and based on new statistical data both countries have strong initial and weak continual educational schemes, whilst there is no significant change in terms of employment regimes.
This thesis analyses social segregation patterns in Berlin and Brussels by first clarifying the driving forces and the outcomes of social segregation and then presenting case studies of the two cities. This thesis argues that the five major driving forces of social segregation are economic restructuring, low state intervention, liberal housing regime, large and fast-growing immigration, and historical events such as city divisions and crises. When social segregation in one city is severe, city residents are faced with deeper relational conflicts. This will lead to the growth of entirely different cultures and values, and thus increase misunderstanding between different communities. Case-studies revealed the driving forces and outcomes of social inequality of Berlin and Brussels. Berlin, having grown rapidly after reunification, has seen the greatest challenges as a result of a steep increase of immigration. Brussels, in contrast, having long been a large and well-developed globalized city, sees economic inequality as the major driving force of its social segregation. Ultimately, the comparison of the two cities cannot be confirmed without empirical analysis, however, this thesis provides an overview of social segregation patterns in Berlin and Brussels, and a strong foundation for further analysis of whether Berlin can expect to develop a segregation pattern similar to Brussels’s in the future
