Abstract

Cet article évalue en quoi les prestations sociales contribuent à assurer une part importante dela sécurité économique des populations, notamment contre le risque de ne pas disposer derevenus suffisants. Il introduit pour cela un outil d'agrégation des garanties apportées par l'Étatsocial à la population, le «taux de sécurité démarchandisée». L'évaluation dans 20 payseuropéens de la diversité des ressources et des sécurités, dites démarchandisées parce qu'ellessont largement indépendantes du marché, permet de distinguer quatre grands types decontribution des prestations sociales à la sécurité économique. Les cinq pays du Nord assurentle maximum de garanties à leurs ressortissants, alors que les quatre pays du Sud et, plusencore, les cinq pays d'Europe continentale et orientale n'ont construit que des sécuritéslimitées, lesquelles sont associées à des risques de pauvreté plus importants. Les six pays dits« intermédiaires » ont connu des histoires hétérogènes qui leur permettent d'assurer un niveauimportant de sécurité économique à leurs populations. Des corrélations positives sontobservées dans ces 20 pays européens entre, d'un coté, prestations sociales et sécuritésindépendantes du marché et, d'un autre coté, meilleurs niveaux de productivité du travail et deniveaux de vie, ce qui contribue à rendre compte de la diversité de leurs taux de croissance.
