The qwest of the welfare state: an index to measure universality of welfare states, a 1990-2019 overview and comparative analysis
| Resumo: | This thesis provides an analysis of the degree of universalism of different welfare states. Three categories of the welfare state have already been defined (Esping-Andersen 1990): the social democratic welfare state, typical of Scandinavia, the corporatist model, typical of continental Europe, and the liberal model, typical of the Anglo-Saxon countries. In this thesis, a fourth category will be included: the Southern Europe model, as proposed by several authors. To measure the degree of universalism of the different welfare states a composite index called QWEST is used. The “Quality of Welfare State” index estimates the degree of universalism through seven variables. |
