This volume examines the recent trends and developments in minimum
income schemes in Western Europe. Today even the richest countries
in the world have levels of poverty that few social thinkers would
have anticipated a century ago, if told what their countries per
capita income would now be. In contrast, many countries contend
that the eradication of poverty is the primary goal of social and
economic policy. This book investigates how current policies often
fall short of those goals. The authors reveal why countries need
mechanisms to reduce wage inequality and why they choose to provide
universal benefits instead of systems of selective benefits
targeted at the poor. Along with cross-countries comparisons, the
volume also presents analysis of the minimum income schemes in
effect in France, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Ireland, Belgium, and
Greece. Contributors include Bea Cantillon, Ive Marx, Karel Van den
Bosch, Serge Paugam, Nicolas Farvaque, Robert Salais, Alfredo Bruto
da Costa, David Benassi, Enzo Mingione, Sean Healy and Brigid
Reynolds, Simon Aho, Ikka Virjo, Anna Cristina DAddio, Isabelle De
Greef, Michale Rosholm, and Manos Matsaganis.
