Generally, the term "welfare state" refers to an ideal model of
provision, where the state accepts responsibility for the provision
of comprehensive and universal welfare for its citizens. Among
other things, it determines under what conditions babies are born
and children cared for, what happens when workers cannot find
employment, and how the aged will cope with illness and the lack of
income. This book provides the reader with historical and updated
information on welfare states around the globe. Given the
importance of the welfare state-and especially the new challenges
it is facing-this reference work comes at the ideal time. Through
cross-referenced A to Z entries, this book focuses on the
historical development of the welfare state, while simultaneously
providing in-depth explanation of core terms and elements of the
welfare states, their structure, their present situation, and their
historical developments. Supplementing the dictionary entries are a
chronology, an introduction, and a bibliography.
