- Description
- The origins of social policy1 in the industrialised countries of the Global North are linked strongly with the labour market both in terms of provision and in their assumption of near full employment (Heintz and Lund 2012). Particularly during the ‘golden era of capitalism’(from roughly the 1950s to the early 1970s), welfare states were established within a context of near full and decent employment. Not only is employment now becoming less secure and more flexible in many of these countries, but social policy has generally been slow to adapt to the changing structure of employment (Heintz and Lund 2012). Within the development literature, the criticism is often that models of employmentbased social protection have been inherited from a context which differs considerably from that of most developing-country labour markets. However, critiques from the developing-country literature have also tended to be nuanced since resources are often highly constrained, tax bases are low, and the ability to collect taxes from powerful global firms is weak.
