Social Risks - lecture 1Welfare state was seen as a broken safety net. Now it is more seen as a ‘trampoline’ where people
go right back into the labour market.
Welfare state is one of the most powerful institutions of the 20th century and beyond.
Differences in welfare states:
- Historical trajectories
- Financing, eligibility, coverage
- Benefit levels
Common steps in Europe: slides
Periods:
Golden Age: 1945-1975; expansion of programmes, social protection for male (breadwinner model).
