New Social Risks in the Nordic Countries

This work drew on interview and documentary material collected in the course of a Framework Five project (Welfare Reform and Management of Societal Change, WRAMSOC), examining social policy changes in Finland and Sweden utilising the framework of ‘new social risks’, which are risks that have recently arisen or expanded, and which current welfare states are ill-adapted to address (including care-related risks).

The work resulted in a chapter by Virpi Timonen in Taylor-Gooby (2004) New Risks, New Welfare, Oxford University Press.
