Abstract

In recent years there has been an explosion of models and classifications which try to depict the peculiarities of the Southern European welfare states. These seem somehow disproportionate to the narrow base of statistics and the amount of existing research (based on primary data) on social policy in the area. Although typologies are not a panacea for the analysis of welfare structures, they can be useful not only for understanding how the social security systems in these countries work but also for demonstrating the inherent weaknesses of the systems and for suggesting remedies for these.
