The Young, the Old and the State

Edited by Anneli Anttonen, John Baldock and Jorma Sipilä

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This is a comparative account of social care services for children and older people in five key industrial nations (Finland, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States). The authors break new ground by moving beyond institutional description and seeking to understand the normative and moral qualities of welfare systems. The book builds on existing theories of welfare state regimes by extending the analysis to the arena of social care.
