  • More about The Welfare of the Middle Class: Changing Relations in European Welfare States

The middle class in many European countries has become a diverse group with an unstable social identity and radical activism, challenging the ability of the welfare state to manage them. This book examines the impact of recent welfare reforms on the needs and preferences of the middle class, contributing to ongoing debates on their attitudes and relations with the welfare state.

Publisher: Bristol University Press


In numerous European nations, the processes of individualization have played a significant role in reshaping the middle class into a diverse and multifaceted group. This transformation has resulted in the emergence of a "middle mass" characterized by an unstable social identity and a penchant for radical activism. The distinct "worlds" of European welfare states appear increasingly challenged in their ability to effectively navigate this novel form of middle-class activism. This book stands as a vital contribution to ongoing public and academic discussions surrounding the unpredictable nature of middle-class attitudes and the evolving dynamics between the middle class and the welfare state. By identifying key trends in the literature, it delves into the impact of recent welfare reforms on the needs and preferences of the middle class.
