Social service decline and convergence: How does healthcare fare
In this paper the hypotheses on differences among welfare state sectors with regard to decline and convergence are subject to comparative empirical tests focusing on healthcare. A diachronical cross-national analysis of healthcare services is performed, comparing developments with that of cash benefits. Contrary to previous claims we find that European healthcare systems are not particularly hit by retrenchment and that convergence is absent in k…
Health care determinants in comparative perspective: The role of partisan politics for health care provision
Health care differs substantially across countries in terms of service provision relevant for social citizenship. Whereas driving forces for the expansion and subsequent decline of cash benefits have received major scholarly interest in comparative research, determinants of developments in public services are less explored. In this article we assess the role of partisan politics for health care provision measured in terms of health employment, ho…
Towards a European Social Model
The market-enhancing regulations of the European Union (EU) place political and economic constraints on the Member States. This has been expected to induce convergence of social policies, generally in a downward direction. At the same time the notion of a European Social Model has been launched as a strategy to make marketization socially acceptable, pointing to a development in a different direction. This paper examines key aspects of the develo…
Convergence Pressures and Responses: Recent Social Insurance Development in Modern Welfare States
Pressures from global market forces along with austerity and retrenchment have generated predictions of converging welfare state institutions. The purpose of this paper is to examine the development of social insurance programs among 18 of the economically most advanced democracies during 1980–2000. Have social insurance rights converged and have changes been of such a character that we can discern converging trends of social insurance models? Th…

Choosing time and time for work: Cross-national variation in paid work among married womenIn line with the theoretical perspective that the division of total work in society into production and reproduction is the central factor behind gender inequality in general, the very organization of reproduction work becomes the key to understand the variation in gender inequality among modern nation states. As long as other institutions, in this case eith…
Modernization, globalization and the welfare state: A Comparative Analysis of Old and New Convergence of Social Insurance Since 1930
Convergence of policies and institutions across countries has been a recurrent theme within social sciences. 'Old' and 'new' convergence hypotheses have been associated with changing concepts and catchwords, such as modernization, logic of industrialism, post-industrialism, post-Fordism and globalization, but share some underlying theoretical perspectives. The purpose of this paper is to analyse tendencies towards convergence of social insurance …
From family wage to marriage subsidy and child benefits: Controversy and consensus in the development of family support
The long-voiced claim of a family wage became a reality in the form of generalized family support after the end of the Second World War. This support has two components: child benefits and support for a dependent spouse, and the marriage subsidy. From a gender-theoretical perspective the marriage subsidy is one of the political means to influence the balance of paid versus unpaid work. The development of the marriage subsidy in 18 OECD countries …
Harmonization of social policies and social regulation in the European Community
The development of the European Community entails harmonization of policies in many areas. This paper analyses to what extent harmonization has taken place in the traditional fields of social policy. Interventions by the EC authorities in the social policy area, here termed direct harmonization, are examined. Indirect harmonization, resulting from common economic policies and the internationalization of the economy, is used as a key concept in an…
