This wide-ranging comparative analysis of contemporary and future changes in
welfare states looks at the different trajectories of the welfare states of
Europe, North America, the Antipodes, and the emerging scenarios in Latin
America, East Asia and Central and Eastern Europe.
Leading experts on each of these regions examine the current structures of
social protection, consider the causes of the current welfare state crisis and
highlight evolving trends for welfare policy. Different welfare states are
shown to manifest different forms of crisis. Among the symptoms of crisis,
Welfare States in Transition suggests that the effect of popluation ageing is
exaggerated, and an at least equally fundamental challenge lies in the
revolution of the modern family and the changing economic role of women. The
contributors are sceptical about the neo-liberal formula for reform, not only
because it increases inequality but also because it does not address the
growing need for an active social investment policy to ensure against
entrapment in poverty or low-paid jobs.
