Survey evidence suggests that young people, older people, unemployed people, disabled people and people from black and other minority ethnic communities are underrepresented as volunteers in mainstream organisations. Researched carried out by the National Centre for Volunteering found that some organisations have addressed the barriers that face potential volunteers from these groups and secured their involvement through the adoption of practical measures and a real commitment to equality of opportunity.

Beyond the Workfare State explores equality, discrimination and human rights in relation to employability and 'welfare-to-work' policies. It draws extensively on new research from the SEQUAL Project, undertaken for the European Social Fund, which investigated seven dimensions of discrimination in a labour market that is theoretically 'open to all'. The book provides an overall analysis of policy shifts and presents a wide and distinctive range of illustrative studies that give voice to a variety of potentially marginalised groups. Chapters deal with obstacles to labour-market access around each of the following themes: gender and class; disability; race and ethnicity; geographical exclusion; sexual orientation; the problems of old and young people; and refugees.
