This paper deals, in a general way, with the achievements and problems of welfare state arrangements in
western Europe. These arrangements naturally differ among countries. In particular, the extent to which countries relyon four basic institutions - the State, the firm, the family and the market - varies greatly. This is the case both for systems of income security, i.e. transfers over the life cycle, and for provision of various types of services, such as health care, childcare and old-age care.
