Over the past few decades the welfare state has been under
increasing pressure. Rapid social and economic change has left many
people dependent on social institutions, while deteriorating
economic prospects have led to calls to cut welfare expenditure.
This book introduces key concepts in the welfare state debate and
questions the arguments for further cutbacks. It examines: * the
role, nature and effects of the welfare state in contemporary
society * the links between the welfare state and the economy,
particularly in Australia in the 1990s * the success of the
Australian welfare state in achieving its aims of improving
economic equality and social cohesion. These issues are considered
in the light of the experiences of comparable countries able to
offer lessons to Australia. Written by economists in clear
language, the book makes an important contribution to the
discussion of social issues.
