Abstract

Wat is een goed leven? Wel-zijn is voor de meeste mensen meer dan een hoog inkomen of louter materiële welvaart. Vele niet-materiële aspecten zoals gezondheid, gezinsleven, leefomgeving, een zinvolle tijdsbesteding of de kwaliteit van een job zijn minstens even belangrijk voor een geslaagd leven. Al die aspecten samen beïnvloeden ook de mate waarin mensen tevreden zijn over hun leven en bepalen mee hoe gelukkig ze zich voelen. In dit boek argumenteren de auteurs echter dat geluk of levenstevredenheid geen goede maatstaf is voor het meten van welzijn. Zij stellen een alternatieve methode voor die niet enkel rekening houdt met de verschillende dimensies van welzijn, maar ook met het feit dat mensen hun eigen opvattingen hebben over wat belangrijk is in hun leven. Het blijft niet enkel bij theorie. Een grootschalige en representatieve enquête bij meer dan 3000 volwassenen uit ruim 2000 Belgische gezinnen liet toe de verschillende aspecten van het individuele welzijn van de Belgen in kaart te brengen. Origineel is dat ruim aandacht besteed wordt aan de ongelijke verdeling van deze verschillende welzijnsaspecten binnen gezinnen. Uit de enquête blijkt dat sommige Belgen vaker lijden aan opgestapelde achterstand in meerdere welzijns­ dimensies. Het boek beschrijft vervolgens welke mensen er in de samenleving het slechtst aan toe zijn volgens de nieuwe methode. Zij verdienen volgens de auteurs de grootste aandacht van de beleidsmakers. En dat zijn niet noodzakelijk enkel diegenen met een laag inkomen, of diegenen die zich ongelukkig voelen.Bron: www.maklu.be/MakluEnGarant/BookDetails.aspx?id=9789044136333

Abstract

This is the first book in welfare economics to be primarily intended for undergraduates and non-specialists. Concepts such as Pareto optimality in a market economy, the compensation criterion, and the social welfare function are explored in detail. Market failures are analysed by using different ways of measuring welfare changes. The book also examines public choice, and the issues of provision of public goods, median voter equilibrium, government failures, efficient and optimal taxation, and intergenerational equity. The three final chapters are devoted to applied welfare economics: methods for revealing people's preferences, cost-benefit analysis, and project evaluation in a risky world. The book is intended for introductory and intermediate courses in welfare economics, microeconomics, and public economics. It will also be suitable for courses in health economics, environmental economics, and cost-benefit analysis, as well as those undertaking project evaluations in government agencies and private firms.

Abstract

This new fourth edition of this successful textbook, discusses the different parts of the welfare system and in particular, cash benefits, the health service and education. The text argues that the welfare state exists not just to help the underprivileged, but also for efficiency reasons, in areas where private markets would be inefficient or would not exist at all. The book has a new, separate chapter on the economics of higher education and it contains increased references to developments in the EU. Also included are a number of new, largely forward looking topics: - extended discussion of insurance to cover disability and long-term care - challenges to the welfare state including demographic change, globalization, changes in family structure and changes in the structure of jobs - debates about the welfare state Suitable for students of both economics related disciplines, the book encourages greater accessibility for students and contains a non-technical appendix in every chapter, diagrams, additional readings, worked examples and end of chapter discussion questions. COMPANION WEB SITE The book will be supported by a companion web site containing PowerPoint slides, weblinks and further reading.

Abstract

Although in Europe there continues to be a large degree of consensus that it is the responsibility of government to ensure that nobody who is poor, sick, disabled, unemployed, or old is left deprived, there are mounting calls to roll back spending on the welfare state. It is argued that it fails to achieve its main objectives, that it is responsible for a decline in economic performance, and that it was conceived in a very different period and is therefore not adapted to modern realities. This second edition of 'The Welfare State in Europe' provides an informed analysis of the key criticisms of the welfare state and examines the prospects of this system in an increasingly integrated world. It answers important questions regarding the current social situation of European countries, the performance of the welfare states, and the reforms that should be undertaken.
