In many ways, the European welfare state constituted a response to
the new forms of social fracture and economic turbulence that were
born out of industrialization-challenges that were particularly
acute for groups whose integration into society seemed the most
tenuous. Covering a range of national cases, this volume explores
the relationship of weak social ties to poverty and how ideas about
this relationship informed welfare policies in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. By focusing on three representative
populations-neglected children, the homeless, and the unemployed-it
provides a rich, comparative consideration of the shifting
perceptions, representations, and lived experiences of social
vulnerability in modern Europe.
