Covering a range of national cases, this volume explores the relationship of weak social ties to poverty and how ideas about this relationship informed welfare policies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By focusing on three representative populations—neglected children, the homeless, and the unemployed—it provides a rich, comparative consideration of the shifting perceptions, representations, and lived experiences of social vulnerability in modern Europe.International studies in social history ;Volume 27.Public welfareEuropeHistoryPoorEuropeHistoryEuropeSocial conditionsEuropeSocial policyPublic welfareHistory.PoorHistory.362.5094Althammer BeateRaphael Lutz1955-Stazic-Wendt TamaraMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827830603321Rescuing the vulnerable3960758UNINA
