Social Sustainability in Ageing Welfare States

This insightful book clarifies the meaning of social sustainability and how it can be assessed in ageing welfare states. It explores the impact of population ageing on well-being and social policies, identifying the resources and institutions which can facilitate well-being and social sustainability without compromising financial and environmental sustainability.

Expert contributors discuss the concept of social sustainability from different disciplinary and policy perspectives, focusing on social protection, pensions, care, immigration and health. They highlight the importance of well-being and its fair distribution and address the trade-offs between economic and social sustainability in different policy areas. Crucially, they propose constructive measures which governments can adopt to ensure a sustainable future for welfare states.

Students and researchers of social policy, demography, social work, economics and sociology will enhance their understanding of social sustainability and its contribution to welfare state research. The book will also be invaluable for professionals and policymakers working in social and health policy, pensions and the labour market providing guidance on how to promote social sustainability through their work.
