In recent decades, and particularly since the financial crisis,
continental Europe has seen an increasing gap between those workers
who have well-protected, good-paying jobs with strong benefits and
those who work lower-quality, nonstandard jobs, or who have no
regular work at all. This situation would seem to call for
increased spending on the social safety net, yet governments
throughout the region have instead been turning to austerity. In
the face of that reality, the options for helping disadvantaged
workers are to extend coverage through re-allocating the benefits
given to higher-level workers, maintain the benefits of the
well-off as the number of outsiders continues to grow, or simply
ignore the problem. This book asks why different nations have taken
different tacks in handling-or not handling-this problem.
