#### A study by **Christiane Varga (ELF and NEOS Lab)**

The high level of welfare and social services is one of the central characteristics of the EU. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that our more than 70 years old welfare and social systems can no longer keep up with the new realities. In fact, they are faltering considerably. Author Christiane Varga shows in her study which new ideas, concepts and models are needed for social politics of the future.

## Abstract

An ever-faster changing demographic, varieties in individual lifestyles, multi-ethnical societies, a whole new understanding of the work environment, digitalisation, and new forms of mobility (or meta-mobility) have put pressure on our existing (national) systems. Furthermore, disruptions and crises such as climate change and the coronavirus pandemic add further complexity to an already changing society. Yet, European welfare state models,with established comprehensive benefit schemes in almost all EU member states, appear not to have adapted to these changes. Old social systems were historically based on a less complex, less global, less interconnected and less individualised society. However, these old structures are not adapted to these new parameters, resulting in a number of implications.
