While the social policies of advanced industrial societies exhibit some broad similarities, public social programs differ markedly from one nation to another. These variations have evoked considerable interest from scholars, some of whom have attempted to uncover the reasons behind policy differences.1 Theorists have attributed such differences to a great many factors.
