Abstract

A current dimension of seminal welfare state problems is the „fiscal crisis”, the situation when the budget of a country becomes unsustainable. From this perspective, the European crisis pertains, first of all, to durable development and the solution seems to be the reduction of expenses. The dilemma of the governments is how to limit the negative consequences of this reduction, along with meeting the needs of protection and improvement of social policies. In the present paper, we intend to conduct an analysis of the deprivations faced by the population of EU countries and some of the limitation measures which have or should have been adopted by national governments. In addition, we intend to check whether there is a link between social protection expenditure and labor productivity in the states taken into account and provide an interpretation of the results, if possible, oriented towards the old continent’s economic sustainability
