European Welfare Policy by Vic George
This broad and accessible text examines one of the most crucial issues facing western governments today: how to raise sufficient funds to meet the rising aspirations of their electorate for more and better welfare services. Looking at seven European countries representing different policy traditions, government ideologies and levels of economic affluence, it discusses health, social security, housing, personal social services and education policies against a background of economic, demographic and familial change.
'This is a readable, well-organised and original contribution to the field of cross national policy studiesIt should be widely used by students, and offers much thought-provoking material for policy analysts.' - Norman Ginsburg, University of North London
