WelfareStateFutures

Thanks so much to the Journal if Social Policy and Social Policy and Society for sponsoring this panel! Great experience to realize how interesting the political aspects were for the social policy community!

Will present some findings from the NORFACE Welfare States Futures Programme tomorrow at the 2019 SPA Conference. Our key message is that Europe’s social infrastructure needs shoring up. Nevertheless the welfare state has a future! youtu.be/ubZ9fQf9WQw

Some common presuppositions about welfare states are based on fears, not facts. Key message from the WSF Programme: welfare states are in remarkably good shape given the series of crises that Europe has undergone in the last decades. @NORFACE_eranet @ImmergutEM
