CHALLENGES TO EUROPEAN WELFARE SYSTEMS GEBUNDEN

This book provides the first comprehensive analyses of the challenges all European welfare
systems have been facing since 2007  combining in-depth country-based studies and comparative
chapters. It focuses on: 1) the economic and financial crisis  2) demographic change  and 3)
the balance between avoiding risks and opening up opportunities in social policy. The results
show that European welfare systems tend to face the same challenges in different ways and that
also their responses to those challenges differ considerably. Although the EU also plays a part
in shaping national welfare systems  it becomes evident that European welfare systems are by no
means converging: in terms of social policy  national diversity within Europe is still a major
factor that will shape future developments in European welfare systems.
