This book studies welfare systems in Europe and beyond from the
standpoint of women in vulnerable positions in society. These
systems are under major transformations with new models of service
delivery and management, austerity measures, requirements for
cost-effectiveness, marketization, and the prioritization of
services. Divided into three parts: Welfare service systems (not)
responding to vulnerable situations of women Women's encounters
with the welfare service system Contradictions of informal support
this book considers the experiences and encounters with the service
system of women in poverty, homeless women, women with substance
use problems, women sentenced of crime, girls and young women in
care, and refugees and asylum-seeking women. Drawing upon research
and critical discussions from Finland, Canada, Israel, Slovenia,
Spain and the UK, this book provides new empirical findings and
critical insights, and a valuable resource for the academics and
students in social work, social policy, sociology and gender
studies, but also for policy makers and professionals in social and
health care.
