Beschreibung

This book takes stock of the diverse and divergent welfare trajectories of post-socialist countries across Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. It traces the impacts, in terms of poverty, well-being, and inequality, of over two decades of transformation, addressing both the legacy effects of socialist welfare systems and the installation of new social, political, and economic structures and, in many cases, new independent nation-states. Authors from different disciplines address key aspects of social protection including health care, poverty reduction measures, active labour market policies, pension systems, and child welfare systems.

Rezensionen

"This is an outstanding book, a must read for anyone interested in social policy development across Eastern Europe. It covers all aspects of social protection, including health care, pension systems, labour market, poverty reduction policies, and child welfare policy. The book reports not only on the various aspects of social policy, but also discusses many countries around Eastern Europe, including the Visegrad countries, the Balkans, the former Soviet Union, and Russia. The book is impressive not only in terms of its scope, but also by its in-depth analyses, using sopthisticated methodologies and data, and highlighting the major challenges that the Eastern European region, with a variation within, has been faced with over the last twenty years, namely, the fragmentation and inconsistent development of the welfare state system."-Chief Researcher Dr. Jolanta Aidukaite, Lithuanian Social Research Centre
