Since the early 1990s, European welfare states have undergone
substantial changes, in terms of objectives, areas of intervention,
and instruments. Traditional programmes, such as old age pensions
have been curtailed throughout the continent, while new functions
have been taken up. At present, welfare states are expected to help
non-working people back into employment, to complement work income
for the working poor, to reconcile work and family life, to promote
gender equality, to support child development, and to provide
social services for an ageing society. The welfare settlement that
is emerging at the beginning of the 21st century is nonetheless
very different in terms of functions and instruments from the one
inherited from the last century. This book seeks to offer a better
understanding of the new welfare settlement, and to analyze the
factors that have shaped the recent transformation.
