Abstract

The changing world of work (unemployment, job insecurity, discontinuous career paths) combined with irreversible socio-demographic transformations (population ageing and family instability) have led to a crisis of adjustment among the social protection systems in Europe. Until now the responses to this crisis have mainly targeted the financial sustainability of the schemes as part of a short-term redistributive and curative rationale. Although the rehabilitation of social protection as an economic and social buffer did take place between 2007 and 2009, it is unable to withstand the persistence, and sometimes the worsening, of European public over-indebtedness. Fiscal and social dumping is in full swing. In this paper we call for a change to the conceptual bases of social protection. A dynamic, preventive and integrative approach to social protection needs to be adopted in reference to the idea of "social investment" and equal opportunities over the lifecycle.
