Résumé :
|
Munday's and Ely's collection of specially commisioned articles looks at the contexts for, and the outcomes of, the diversity of social care provision by the Member States of the European Union. This book addresses how we define social care in Europe and looks at the differences between Member States. It then goes on to look in more detail at the context for social care provision and the constitutional framework provided by the European Union itself. The remaining chapters, written by a team of distinguished specialist authors, cover Europe's mixed economy of welfare and provide detailed analysis of the impact of social care provision on three key client groups : children and families, people with disabilities and elderly people. By combining a comparative analysis of social care in the European Union with in-depth studies of key issues and outcomes for client groups, Social Care in Europe provides an invaluable overview of this crucial area of social policy.
