Beyond the Nordic Welfare State
Our aim has been to develop a new research‑based approach for welfare states that helps renew and update their policies in a time of demographic change, economic pressure, and growing societal complexity. Beyond the Nordic Welfare State – Extending Social Investments with Interventions presents this framework by combining long‑term social investments with targeted interventions and systematic impact evaluation.
Combining theoretical contributions, comparative studies and Finnish case analyses, the book provides clear insights into how interventions can generate long-term benefits for individuals and society. It offers researchers, policymakers, and practitioners a timely perspective on renewing and strengthening welfare states in Europe and beyond.
Beyond the Nordic Welfare State – Extending Social Investments with Interventions is openly available on the publisher’s website. thanks to generous funding support from the Strategic Research Council (SRC) within the Research Council of Finland.
