This book examines the rise of welfare markets in Western societies
and explores their functioning, regulation and embeddedness by
addressing the particular field of old age provision, including
both retirement provision and elderly care. It goes beyond a mere
social policy analysis by investigating major cultural
underpinnings of the new (quasi-)markets, with these underpinnings
embracing collective normative representations of how societies
(should) institutionally handle old age. The book looks at whether
pension and care systems are converging under the influence of
globalization - with marketization being a key phenomenon - and to
what extent this is creating a transnational culture of welfare
markets. This book, the first book to systematically describe and
analyse the phenomenon of welfare markets, elucidates the complex
cultural underpinnings of care and pensions systems in an era of
marketization, arguing that we are facing a cultural struggle over
the way late modern societies conceptualize institutional old-age
provision.
