The New Welfare brings together a group of leading scholars to examine issues relating to unemployment and social security in Europe, focusing on how to promote employment and how to reform social security. The crucial issue of the financing of public pension systems is also addressed, including an examination of the politically difficult solution of a more fully-funded system.
