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. The empirical results are critically assessed in light of theoretical assumptions and insights of alternative literature. The chapter concludes by exploring the implications of the findings for further research and policy-making.
