- Summary:
- social risks." A concept being increasingly used in the welfare state literature. * Focuses on the groups that are mostly exposed to new social risks (women, the young, the low skilled) in order to study their political behavior. * Assesses policymaking processes that can lead to successful adaptation. It covers key areas such as child care, care for elderly people, adapting pensions to atypical career patterns, active labor market policies, and policy making at the EU level. This book will be of great interest for all students and scholars of politics, sociology and the welfare state in particular.
