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 notadapted 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 therising 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.

The Welfare State in the European Union

This book offers an account of the performance of the welfare state in the European Union, and explores its future prospects in an ever evolving setting. The objectives of the welfare state are twofold: to relieve poverty and to provide a sense of security for everyone. It can be shown that over the last four decades the welfare state has been quite successful in achieving these objectives, more visibly in the Nordic countries than in the Southern or the Anglo-Saxon ones. But today the welfare state is at a crossroad. It is facing a variety of challenges that include demographic aging, the changing role of families, increased opportunism, economic integration and declining job security. All these challenges call for a drastic reform of the welfare state, one that requires more control of abuses and more accountability. The authors that it is crucial that all the components of the welfare state be made as efficient as possible, and that if a choice has to be made between alleviating poverty and protecting individuals against lifetime risks, priority should be given to the first objective. This book devotes a chapter to each of the main social protection programs: health care, unemployment insurance, pensions and child policies. In addition, special consideration is given throughout to the necessary interdependence among the State, the market and the family.
The Public Economics of Changing Longevity

Our societies are witnessing a steady increase in longevity. This demographic evolution is accompanied by some convergence across countries, but at the same time substantial longevity inequalities persist within nations across income classes. This Element aims to survey some crucial implications of changing longevity on the design of optimal public policy. For that purpose, it first focuses on some difficulties raised by risky and varying lifetime for the representation of individual and social preferences. Then, it explore some central implications of changing longevity for optimal policy making, regarding prevention against premature death, pension policies, education, health care and long-term care. The author distinguishes between the case when longevity is partially the responsibility of individuals and the case when longevity is plainly exogenous.

L'État-providence en Europe - Performance et dumping social

E-bok
Franska, 2012
88 kr
Läs direkt efter köp
Cet opuscule propose une mesure de la performance des États-providence européens fondée sur la manière dont ils traitent des inégalités sociales, de santé, d’emploi et d’éducation. Cette mesure permet de comparer la performance des pays de l’Europe des quinze avec celle des douze nouveaux membres ; elle donne aussi la possibilité de tester l’hypothèse d’un éventuel dumping social à l’œuvre dans ces pays ; enfin elle peut être utilisée pour mieux appréhender la façon dont les différents États européens prennent en charge les personnes âgées. Sans surprise, les pays nordiques présentent les meilleurs scores. En revanche, l’entrée des douze nouveaux membres a eu un effet contrasté. Certains, telles la République Tchèque ou la Slovénie, font aussi bien que les meilleurs de l’Europe des quinze, alors que d’autres, la Roumanie et la Bulgarie en particulier, sont à la traîne. On n’y observe pas de dumping social et, en dépit de l’augmentation du taux de dépendance, le bien-être des personnes âgées n’y a pas progressé au cours de la dernière décennie.

Economics of Long-term Care
The Contribution of Family, State and Market to Elder Care

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
As the need for long-term care expands, evaluating the roles of its primary providers—the state, the market, and the family—becomes increasingly essential. This book first examines recent research on the contributions of families and the marketplace to long-term care. Noting the decreasing involvement of families and the limitations of market-based solutions, it then shifts focus to studies that explore public policy development aimed at supporting elderly individuals without family assistance or adequate resources. These policies aim to create a comprehensive support system by utilizing both market mechanisms and family resources to meet the needs of the dependent elderly.The book also provides a comparative analysis of how various countries, especially in Europe and North America, address disability and dependence in their long-term care systems, offering insights into diverse strategies and solutions. This cross-country perspective identifies effective practices and highlights areas requiring further development in social insurance and support frameworks. Through this exploration, the book seeks to deepen understanding of the influence of social norms and family solidarity on long-term care provision, emphasizing how these elements can be integrated into more resilient public policy structures.
