The European Social Model

Abstract

The European Social Model is a fundamental part of what Europe stands for, but a very important issue to know is that this model is not only European, not wholly social and not a model. The European Social Model is not limited to social policy in the narrow sense: welfare, healthcare, pensions, but it includes also employment policy such as labour market rules, equality policies, benefit rules. The European Social Model is only possible because Europeans accept the importance of the state.European social model, social policy, employment policy, institutional paths
