- Summary:
- A new vision of the purpose of social policy is needed. This book paints a complete and accessible picture of the current situation and pinpoints how policies can be reformed. Social policy should aim to promote employment and healthy living, rather than just coping with joblessness and ill-health. Investing in children and families helps ensure that all can contribute fully to society. In OECD countries, innovations and experiments in new social policies abound, designed to equip people with the support they need to respond to change. Ministers have committed themselves to the task of creating such a caring world.
