Although in Europe there continues to be a large degree of
consensus that it is the responsibility of government to ensure
that nobody who is poor, sick, disabled, unemployed, or old is left
deprived, there are mounting calls to roll back spending on the
welfare state. It is argued that it fails to achieve its main
objectives, that it is responsible for a decline in economic
performance, and that it was conceived in a very different period
and is therefore not adapted to modern realities. This second
edition of The Welfare State in Europe: Economic and Social
Perspectives provides an informed analysis of the key criticisms of
the welfare state and examines the prospects of this system in an
increasingly integrated world. It answers important questions
regarding the current social situation of European countries, the
performance of the welfare states, and the reforms that should be
undertaken. It calls for fundamental changes in social policies in
order to address the rising inequality that hampers social cohesion
in Europe. Now focused on Europe in its entirety and including a
new chapter on long term care, this new edition of an integral text
on the welfare state places increased focus on social divisions and
the populist vote to provide a balanced and up-to-date analysis of
the performance of current systems.
