Universal or commodified healthcare? Linking out-of-pocket payments to income-related inequalities in unmet health needs in Europe
This study investigates the outcomes out-of-pocket payments (OOPP) produce in terms of income-related disparities in unmet health needs (UHN) due to inability to pay and highlights the commodifying effect of OOPP in European healthcare systems. It merges micro data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions survey (EU-SILC) for 2005–2012, with macro data from the World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Devel…
Divided by the Market, Divided by the State: Distribution, Redistribution and Welfare Attitudes in 47 Countries
This article examines the impact of income inequality and welfare state context on the extent to which the rich and poor share similar attitudes towards redistribution. It asks whether and how differences in attitudes, particularly those between income groups, are shaped by inequality and redistributive efforts. Based on a multi‐level analysis of individual survey data across 47 countries at three points in time, the article shows that such an in…
The New Welfare State Constellation and Inequality: Findings and Perspectives
The conclusion elucidates how this volume has contributed to understanding the relationship between welfare state transformation and social, political and economic inequality in the OECD world since the 1980s. The authors reveal that social policy-makers have not merely reactively responded to international and domestic demands, but also actively shaped inequality by shifting from compensation to a supply-side orientation of social policy-making.…
Welfare State Transformations and Inequality in OECD Countries
Editors: Melike Wulfgramm, Tonia Bieber & Stephan Leibfried This book analyzes how recent welfare state transformations across advanced democracies have shaped social and economic disparities. The authors observe a trend from a compensatory paradigm towards supply oriented social policy, and investigate how this phenomenon is linked to distributional outcomes. How (and how much) have changes in core social policy fields alleviated or strengthened…
Unemployment and subsequent employment stability: Does Labour Market Policy Matter
Recent labour market reforms in Europe have been aimed at activating non-employed people and shortening unemployment duration. While this should indisputably be a central policy aim, the exclusive focus on quick re-employment neglects the importance of its quality and stability. Therefore, this paper analyses the effect of labour market policy on re-employment stability in Europe. Combining EU-SILC longitudinal survey data with macro-data on labo…
Life satisfaction effects of unemployment in Europe: The moderating influence of labour market policy
Public policy shapes the lives of individuals, and even more so if they depend on state support. In the case of unemployment, the financial situation is largely determined by cash transfers and daily routines depend on the involvement in active labour market policy measures. To what extent, however, can subjective well-being differences of European unemployed be traced back to the national design and generosity of labour market policy? This artic…
Can activating labour market policy offset the detrimental life satisfaction effect of unemployment
Unemployment has persistently been found to severely decrease the life satisfaction of individuals. Even after income and other socioeconomic characteristics are controlled for, the employment status remains an important determinant of happiness, pointing to non-pecuniary functions of work. But what effect does labour market policy have? Can the psychosocial functions of work be fulfilled by activation measures, offsetting the detrimental life sa…
