The purpose of this paper is to gather science in social work considering how activations programs, subsidized jobs that the municipalities offer affect the clients possiblities of getting steady work and how it affects their well-being professionally and socially. Subsidized jobs are temporary and part-time jobs that the clients must accept and are financed by the municipalities and the state. With the help of social citizenship and human capital and 17 peer reviewed articles this study shows that these people are the victims of the deregulated labor market. They don't know for sure if the will make enough money from one month to the next. Therefore they are not sure to be qualified for the income-related social insurances. Because of this, these people are probable to be in need of economic welfare from the social services. The purpose of these programs is to make participants employable. This study shows that many people in activation programs, in part-time employment and in temporary employment generally have worse health than people who have steady work. Furthermore the research on activation programs is poor and ambivalent at best. The research cannot show that activation programs are efficient measures to get the participants into jobs, nor a better well-being. The risk is that the social services are letting those in the most need of help down. There is a new underclass that is made out of people in part-time employment, temporary employment and in activation programs. This new underclass consists of people who live with the risk of permanent economic uncertainty.
