| 11389. TWO PERSPECTIVES ON WELFARE: THE UNITED STATES AND SCANDINAVIA. This paper compares the welfare state in the United States with the polar opposite system found in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Following an overview of the philosophy of welfare in the two systems, the analysis compares them first in general terms and then along more specific aspects -- retirement, unemployment, health, child care, etc. A concluding section summarizes the differences and similarities and makes predictions about reform within the very different systems. 19p., 71f., 31b. 11389 |
