Abstract: Abstract The recent financial crisis has put the economy and society of several European Union Member States under enormous pressure, at a time when the demand for social services is growing due to the ageing of societies. State budgets were decreased during the crisis, and considerable cuts in social services were made. This situation calls for the adoption of innovative, long-term social policy strategies and for modernized welfare systems, which foster more efficient, responsive and appropriate social services. However, though many initiatives have been launched and funds allocated, evidence on the results obtained is as yet lacking.
