| Annotation | This technical report is part of a large research project on the future of the welfare state, and is. published alongside a book entitled 'Towards a new age: the future of the UK welfare state'. It includes results from the elaboration of Eurostat and OECD data. The final estimation sample consists of 24 countries, observed in 11 consecutive years(2003-2013), for a total of 238 observations. With some 15 million people classified by Eurostat as 'at risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE)', the UK is ranked 15th of 23 European countries on the ILC-UK's Poverty and Social Exclusion Index. The UK is ranked 14th on the ILC-UK's Housing Quality Index, mainly due to its relatively high levels of housing cost overburden among the young and the working age population. In terms of overall State Effectiveness, the UK is average: 11th out of 23 European countries. A large demographic shift in older societies and the growing pressure on state budgets are threatening the very existence of a welfare state in many European countries. To avoid its demise, we need to make the welfare state more effective. (RH) |
