Democratic forums and welfare state attitudes. . 330 $aThis edited collection uses democratic forums to study what people want from the welfare state in five European countries. The forum method yields new insights into how people frame social issues, their priorities and acceptable solutions. This is the first time democratic forums have been used as a research tool in this field. The contributors' research show that most people recognize growing inequality, population ageing, paying for health care and pensions, social care and immigration as areas where the welfare state faces real challenges. The most striking findings are the high level of support across all countries for social investment, and the way justifications for this vary between welfare state regimes. The authors also explore key areas such as immigration and intergenerational differences. Attitudes, Aspirations and Welfare will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including politics, social policy and sociology, aswell as policy-makers. . 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aWelfare state 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aComparative Social Policy 606 $aWelfare 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aPublic Policy 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aWelfare state. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 14$aComparative Social Policy. 615 24$aWelfare. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a361.61094 702 $aTaylor-Gooby$b Peter$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLeruth$b Benjamin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300581703321 996 $aAttitudes, Aspirations and Welfare$92241656 997 $aUNINA
