Abstract
SANCHEZ MORALES, Mª Rosario and DIAZ MORENO, Verónica. The future of Welfare State in Europe. Index Enferm [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.3, pp.190-194. ISSN 1699-5988.
The Welfare State in the European context in its current version was created in the mid-twentieth century as a corrective mechanism of the market and the commodification of wage relations and is linked to the modern idea of citizenship. At present, it is possible to differentiate between four welfare regimes: the liberal/residual model, the conservative model, the Southern European countries model and the social-democratic model. The attitudes and values of citizenship vis-a-vis the welfare state play a key role, as one of the limitations with which governments try to cut them is that citizens value social policies as key elements for maintain reasonable levels of life safety. With regard to the future of the welfare state in Europe, it will ultimately depend on political decisions.
