Abstract

L'obiettivo del presente contributo è lo studio delle forti interconnessioni esistenti tra lo stato sociale e la classe media. Si sosterrà che lo sviluppo dello stato sociale, operando attraverso due meccanismi differenti - l'erogazione di servizi pubblici essenziali e il suo ruolo cardine nel creare occupazione -, ha contribuito in modo preponderante allo sviluppo della classe media. A tale scopo, adotteremo la definizione di classe media proposta dalla US Middle Task Force e basata sulle aspirazioni, andando quindi a studiare il ruolo che lo stato sociale ha nel soddisfare tali aspirazioni nei Paesi ad alto reddito. In parallelo, servendoci dei casi di studio della Spagna e del Regno Unito, analizzeremo il ruolo dello stato sociale nella creazione di posti di lavoro tipicamente appannaggio della classe media.
