Origins of the French Welfare State: The Struggle for Social Reform in France, 1914-1947

Paul V. Dutton, "Origins of the French Welfare State: The Struggle for Social Reform in France, 1914-1947"
English | 2002 | ISBN: 0521813344 | PDF | pages: 267 | 1.6 mb

This is the first comprehensive analysis of public and private welfare in France available in English or French. It argues that France simultaneously pursued two different paths toward universal social protection. Family welfare embraced an industrial model in which class distinctions and employer control predominated. By contrast, protection against the risks of illness, disability, maternity, and old age followed a mutual aid model of welfare. The book also traces foreign influences on French social reform, particularly from Germany's former territories in Alsace-Lorraine and Britain's Beveridge Plan.
