Hardback. How Economic Worldviews Shape Social Policy Choices in Times of Crisis. From the 1980s on, a privatization of labor market-related risks has occurred in the OECD. Governments have cut the generosity of social programs and tightened eligibility rules, particularly for the unemployed. The book analyzes these curtailments for 18 countries over the course of four decades and provides an encompassing comparative assessment of the interactive impact of government ideology and economic pressure. It demonstrates that the economic worldviews of governments are the most important factor in explaining why cuts are implemented or not. Series: CHANGING WELFARE STATES. Num Pages: 234 pages.
