Excerpt from Unemployment Insurance: A Study of Schemes of Assisted Insurance, a Record of Research in the Department of Sociology in the University of London The object of this volume is not to advocate or to oppose any particular scheme of insurance against unemployment. It is an impartial study of the actual operation of various schemes in foreign countries. The course of his investigations has led the writer to form some definite opinions which he freely states, but his main purpose I take to be not the inculcation of opinion but the study of facts. The investigation was carried on in connection with the sociological work of the University of London, and affords, I venture to think, a valuable illustration of one branch of the researches which academic sociology can help to organise. It is a searching and most painstaking analysis of experience gained abroad which can and ought to be brought to bear in the solution of a great practical problem at home. With the opinions which the writer has formed the reader may agree or disagree, but the data on which they are based he will find fully and candidly stated, and they cannot be ignored by anyone who wishes to form an instructed opinion upon the question. The most important result which emerges from Mr. Gibbon's investigation is the contrast between the success of the Ghent system of insurance and the difficulties and failures that have beset other experiments.
