Five Occupational and fiscal welfare in times of crisis
-
Bent Greve
Abstract
Bent Greve’s Chapter Five shifts the focus again in a non-conventional way, this time to consider occupational and fiscal welfare. The post-crisis period may, he argues, signify a reconfiguration of welfare state effort, especially if we look beyond the traditional state services. The chapter seeks to promote a greater understanding of the role of fiscal and occupational welfare within welfare states, before looking at the patterns of provision in recent years. Despite problems with the data, Greve offers some interesting insights into what the crisis may mean for the distribution of state and employer provision in future.
