Reconciling Work and Poverty Reduction

How Successful Are European Welfare States?
Herausgeber: Cantillon, Bea; Vandenbroucke, Frank

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Disappointing poverty trends suggest limitations to employment-centred welfare reform and downward pressures on the redistributive capacity of welfare states. Innovative empirical analyses of the links between poverty, labour market participation and social redistribution are presented. The observations are linked with a broader perspective on the socio-economic, demographic and paradigmatic evolutions in contemporary welfare states.
