Following the death of Franco, Spain underwent a transition to
democracy in the mid-1970s. Although a rapid process of
modernization occurred, the Spanish welfare state was seen, until
fairly recently, as relatively underdeveloped. However, given the
progressive Europeanization and expansion of Spanish social policy,
questions arise as to whether the Spanish welfare system should
still be considered as peripheral to West European welfare states.
This volume is divided into three sections. The first section deals
with broad trends in the evolution of the Spanish welfare state. To
begin with, the consolidation path of social protection policies is
explored. Attention is also paid to the process of Europeanization.
Furthermore, the analysis explores advances in gender equality
policies. In the second section, attention is turned to governance
issues, such as collective bargaining, the interplay among levels
of government, the welfare mix and public support for social
policies. The third and final part of the book addresses five main
challenges facing the Spanish welfare state in the 21st century,
namely, the need to enhance flexicurity; to achieve a better
work-family balance; to coordinate immigration policies with
existing social protection; to tackle the persistence of high rates
of relative poverty; and to face intense population ageing, both in
terms of increasing needs for care and the reform of the pension
system.
