Call topic: Welfare State Futures (ongoing evaluation)
In brief:
Welfare states are at a critical turning point. The development of welfare systems was one of the defining characteristics of the 20th century, especially in Europe. However, in times of change, it will be important to re-think ‘the welfare state’ with a programme of innovative research designed to ask, and answer, fundamental questions about the design, delivery and experience of welfare in the 21st century.
This call covers five themes of research on Welfare State Futures:
- People and the welfare state.
- Inequalities, diversity and welfare states.
- Rethinking the economics of the welfare state.
- The future politics of the welfare state.
- Shifting responsibilities for welfare.
