In Welfare State and Population in Denmark, Germany and the UK, our aim is to outline developments since 1960 and present a status report on the welfare states in Denmark and our neighbours to the west and the south: the UK and Germany. The book also provides an overview of the everyday lives and living conditions of the Danish, British and German people at home and on the labour market, in educational institutions and in public life.
