An analysis of the UK social protection expenditure in comparison to the 28 European Union states together with Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Turkey and Serbia. Social protection comprises the various benefits provided to households, usually by public bodies, to help with their needs, including old age, sickness, family and children, disability, housing and others. The paper shows that the UK spent £483 billion on social protection in 2013, equivalent to 28 per cent of GDP: nearly three quarters of social protection expenditure was on old age and sickness. Between 2008 and 2013, the number of male old age beneficiaries rose 16.0 per cent while the number of female old age beneficiaries fell by 0.2 per cent. In 2013, expenditure on disability social protection in the UK fell in real terms by £392 per recipient. In 2013, the UK maintained its position among the selected countries as the highest spender on housing social protection (£394 per capita). (Edited publisher abstract)

This book explores the results of a European comparative study organized in 1997–98 by the Higher Institute for Labour Studies on behalf of the European Commission and the Belgian government. The study investigated the social protection arrangements for the elderly in the fifteen member states of the EU and Norway. In addition to providing an up-to-date overview of the systems of social protection for the elderly across the fifteen EU states, this book also presents a comparative analysis of the residential, semi-residential and community services available. The study is complemented by a discussion of the debates surrounding policy reform of the social protection system of dependent older persons, and particular attention is given to the topic of long-term care insurance.
