Ten Worlds of Welfare Capitalism

Meer over het boek

Combining global data analysis with social policy theory, this book tests the Ten Worlds of Welfare Regime Theory through empirical research across approximately 150 countries. It measures variables related to poverty and inequality using Aspalter's Standardized Relative Performance Index, offering precise comparisons of welfare regimes. The findings support the theory's validity and include a meta-study that explores solutions to address global inequality and poverty, providing both explanatory and normative insights into these pressing issues.
