| Annotation | This article sets out to investigate the main policy developments and trends at the macro level perspective of world social policy. It introduces the state of the art of the ideal-typical approach to welfare state analysis, and goes on to look at welfare state reform in the field of old-age and health care security in five highly-aged and fast-ageing societies: Sweden, Germany, Italy, South Korea and Taiwan. It concludes that individual national responses, when seen from a macro, global policy perspective, share certain features - that is, the shift from benefit-defined to contributions-defined formula and systems in social security - while they also employ different tactics with regard to parametric and systematic welfare state reform at the same time.
