The purpose of this web site is to provide students of any level interested in the European welfare state and in European social policy with an entry point. This web-site is meant to serve as an introduction, a point of departure and a portal to many other, much more detailed, resources on the subject of European welfare policy. We hope to provide a tool for both teachers and students who wish to learn more about European welfare states.
