Welfare state, political history, sustainability, social stratificationAbstract
The role of the public sector is hotly debated, but those involved in the discussion are not always aware of the type of state that governs them. This study therefore aims to put the welfare state into context by comparing the different models and exposing the global pressures for change. Adopting a literature review, four models were distinguished: Liberal, Corporatist, Scandinavian and Southern. The conclusion is that globalization and an ageing population is the main phenomena putting the sustainability of the welfare state at risk.
