Abstract

[Welfare state has performed an extremely important function in the economic and social system of the Nordic states. Due to the emergence of new conditions and determinants (e.g. ageing of the society, globalization, growing number of people on welfare, declining number of working people), there is a need of introducing reforms in various aspects of the concept itself and its practice. The reforms of welfare state in Scandinavian countries, however, are not a departure from its fundamental principles but an adaptation to new conditions and challenges.]
