Abstract

One of the concerns about the changing nature of work and employment is that of paid labour and its implications for social integration and an individual sense of belonging. Are there adequate alternatives to paid employment? A qualitative study was set up to gain further insight into this matter. Twenty-four people on extended paid leave and 19 part-time workers were questioned. The in-depth interviews showed that the integration of people in a deviant labour pattern differs in various ways. More specifically, six types of respondents were identified: the family-directed practical re-arrangers, the family-directed ideological re-arrangers, the self-directed re-arrangers, the deviants, the converts and the doubters. Each type appeared to be confronted with different opportunities and pitfalls.
