CHANGING EUROPEAN SOCIETIES
The Role For Social Policy
ESPAnet Conference, 13-15 November 2003
Eigtveds Pakhus, Copenhagen
Denmark
<www.sfi.dk/ESPAnet>
Europe is changing. Demographic trends include population ageing and
fertility below reproduction rates. Illegal and legal migration makes
national headlines. Some population groups suffer disproportional from bad
health, economic inequality, unemployment or precarious jobs. The
enlargement of the EU and the broadening of political collaboration bring
European nation states closer together, at least in political terms. The
role and instruments of social policy are in some respects changing. Whilst
similar trends and problems may be detected across European societies,
important diversity persists as witnessed by different welfare regimes and a
plethora of social policy practices. This begs the question: Changing
European Societies: What is the Role for Social Policy?
