Abstract

Whether and to what extent the means of family members and familial care activities are relevant in the calculation of welfare benefits is often neglected in welfare state analysis. By quantifying qualitative institutional data, we analyze this aspect and how it has changed in regard to minimum-income benefits for persons of pension age and unemployed persons in ten European welfare states. We find no general trend toward individualization of entitlements but a decreasing relevance of family for the entitlements of persons of pension age, and increasing relevance for the unemployed. The evidence underlines significant differences between countries and family-related dimensions.

欧洲最低收入福利家庭：一项制度分析

摘要

在福利状态分析中，常常忽略了家庭成员的手段和家庭护理活动在何种程度上与福利的计算有关。通过量化定性的机构数据，我们分析了这方面，以及它在十个欧洲福利国家的退休金年龄和失业人员的最低收入福利方面如何变化。我们没有发现应享权利个体化的总体趋势，而是家庭与退休年龄人员应享权利的相关性下降，而与失业者的相关性则增强。证据强调了国家和家庭相关方面之间的重大差异。
