Description

Up-to-date perspectives on the development of welfare systems are much needed, considering the changes in the past two decades brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2008 Great Recession, the emergence of ultraright groups in mainstream politics worldwide, the expansion of migratory patterns, among other factors. The book focuses on the impact of global and local welfare policies and programs on groups such as refugees, employees, and the ageing population. Welfare innovation is a pivotal topic of this book, which covers issues such as new welfare services (cash-transfer programs), context-specific policies (age management), and novel policy motivations (ethical commitment, human rights protection). These subjects are applied to numerous countries, including Australia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Norway, South Africa, and Kenya. The book's analysis of welfare institutions, policies, and services offers an opportunity to consider the evolution, reforms, and challenges of welfare systems worldwide. Additionally, the book helps us understand the importance of adopting new approaches to various components of social welfare in response to the demands of rapidly changing contexts.
