Abstract (may include machine translation)
By means of redistribution and social insurance, welfare states have aimed to diminish the market dependency of economically disadvantaged groups. However, openness of the domestic economies is claimed to bring additional financial constraints, which would necessitate cutbacks in public programs and increases in market reliance. Definitely, countries under different welfare regimes responded differently to these pressures and have implemented varied strategies. This paper will look at the similarities and dissimilarities of reform processes in the area of unemployment compensation since the early 1990s across three countries, namely Germany, Sweden and United Kingdom, to analyze the extent of marketisation. In addition to any quantitative changes, restructuring of unemployment related social policies would be considered.
