It asks whether the European Union has adopted a general strategy for dealing with four major threats to the sustainable development of European societies: the employability of a growing number of redundant workers, an ageing population, low birth rates and the persistent problem of gender inequality. The book will be an important read for social policy scholars, particularly those focusing on European welfare states, how they differ and lessons to be learnt from them. It also highlights key lessons from a broad range of case studies to help policy-makers in understanding how and where improvements may be made in the future"-- Provided by publisher Description based on print record HTTP:URL=https://www.elgaronline.com/view/9781789905557/9781789905557.xml |
