Life Cyckle Risks and the Politics of the Welfare State presents
the dual risk model of the welfare state. Previous research in the
field has predominantly studied the role of modernization and the
associated labor market risks; this book gives equal weight to a
different class of social risks, namely those related to the life
cycle. Labor market and life cyckle risks each have profound, but
distinct consequences for the political process of the welfare
state, including public opinion formation, party competition, and
public policy-making. The dual risk model helps us to understand
why some social programs are prioritized over others in terms of
political attention and public spending - and how this
prioritization leads to mounting economic inequalities in
modern-day societies.
