The recent focus on choice in many welfare states has created a more market-orientated approach, changed users to consumers, and increased the emphasis on private providers. By using a variety of methodologies and examples from different European countries and different sectors of the welfare state, the book examines the impact of these recent reforms on equality, not only from an economic perspective, but also in relation to gender and access to services. Theoretically and empirically informed, this book asks whether the shift towards more choice will ultimately benefit the users and providers of the welfare state, and have a positive impact on society as a whole"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aBroadening perspectives on social policy. 606 $aSocial choice$zEurope 606 $aWelfare state$zEurope 606 $aConsumers' preferences$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial choice 615 0$aWelfare state 615 0$aConsumers' preferences 676 $a361.6/5094 702 $aGreve$b Bent 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910208845803321 996 $aChoice$9463853 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00910cam a2200241 a 4500 001 991002520189707536 008 140519s2008 enkab b 001 0 eng 020 $a9780521615389 035 $ab14187693-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to di Storia, Società e Studi sull'Uomo$bita 082 04$a956.9405 100 1 $aShindler, Colin$0475096 245 12$aA history of modern Israel /$cColin Shindler 260 $aCambridge :$bCambridge university press,$c2008 300 $aXXVIII, 371 p. :$bill. ;$c23 cm. 504 $aInclude bibliografia e indici 651 4$aIsraele$xStoria$ySec. 20. 907 $a.b14187693$b16-10-14$c19-05-14 912 $a991002520189707536 945 $aLE023 956.9405 SHI 1 1$g1$i2023000167649$lle023$op$pE22.60$q-$rl$s- $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i1562464x$z11-07-14 996 $aHistory of modern Israel$9259368 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale023$b01-10-14$cm$da $e-$feng$genk$h2$i0
