Abstract
The emergence of a new set of risks for the individual and for society as a whole keeps European welfare states under constant pressure to adapt. These risks are the result of changes in external and internal conditions, encompassing technological shifts, international competition, demographic ageing, migration and the break-up of traditional family structures. The aim of this article is to apply a 'typologies of social models' perspective in the tradition of Esping-Andersen (1990) to identify growth drivers and key areas for adaptability to present and future challenges.
