Basic Income Support Between ┐Gender-Neutral Organisation┐ and an ┐Area of Arbitrariness┐? : A Comment

Abstract

I would like to comment on two articles that have a common ground of conception, but also differ in central aspects. Both Karin Lenhart and Peter Bartelheimer with Jutta Henke report on individual cases of counselling within the realm of basic income support for employment-seeking persons and inquire for gender-specific elements of counselling. The articles also differ in their methodological approaches and empirical findings.
