Anotace knihy

In many European countries the role of social insurance and the future of the welfare state is currently under scrutiny. Economic, demographic and social changes have called into question the financial stability and political support for existing national programmes. Central questions raised in the book are: What are the institutional and political forces which have shaped national systems? Are national governments diminishing the role of social insurance? Does social insurance have a future or is it an outdated welfare arrangement? Can the UK learn from experiences elsewhere? The authors provide information about cross-national differences and commonalities between social insurance schemes in Europe, and reflect on their future roles at a time when the balance between social insurance and other types of public and private forms of social protection seem to be shifting.By illustrating the similarities and differences within and across countries, this book reflects on the current role of social insurance, recent policy changes and pressures for reform in 10 European countries: UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Sweden and Denmark. The book summaries the main arguments and highlights the lessons to be learnt, reflecting on European experiences regarding social insurance and social security as a whole. "Social Insurance in Europe" provides a valuable contribution to the current debate about the future of the welfare state. It is essential reading for students and academics in the fields of social policy, European studies, sociology and political science and for all those concerned about the future of social security protection in modern society.
