Example text
The way that welfare states manage risk inequalities is therefore also a politics of solidarity, of social stratification. We can here distinguish three distinct models of welfare state solidarity. These reflect historically dominant constellations of collective political mobilization (Baldwin, 1990; Esping-Andersen, 1990). One is a residual approach which limits its aid to targeted ('bad') risk strata—say, lone mothers, the disabled, or the demonstrably poor. A residual approach to risk pooling divides society into them and us: on one side, a self-reliant majority of citizens which can obtain adequate insurance through private means; on the other side, a minoritarian and dependent welfare state clientele.
Within the family, the dominant method of allocation is, presumably, one of reciprocity. To be sure, this does not necessarily imply full 'equality' in the intra-household allocation of 2 To this triad we should rightfully add the 'third sector' of voluntary, or non-profit, welfare delivery. In some countries, the voluntary sector (often run by the Church) does play a meaningful, even significant, role in the administration and delivery of services. Thus, in Germany and Austria a large part of health care is, like the American Blue Cross-Blue Shield plan, non-profit.
However, a notable fall in centralization and co-ordination within those nations that once were considered the epitome of neo-corporatism: Austria and Scandinavia. The coherence of employer organizations may also be detrimental to collective bargaining. Swenson (1989) argues that trade union attributes are basically a derivative of employer organization. In fact, the crossnational rank-order of employer organizational density or cohesion is almost identical to that of trade union density and centralization: very low in Britain on both counts; high or medium-high in both the Nordic and Continental European countries.
