Resumo(s)
This thesis provides an analysis of the degree of universalism of different welfare states. Three
categories of the welfare state have already been defined (Esping-Andersen 1990): the social democratic welfare state, typical of Scandinavia, the corporatist model, typical of continental
Europe, and the liberal model, typical of the Anglo-Saxon countries. In this thesis, a fourth
category will be included: the Southern Europe model, as proposed by several authors. To
measure the degree of universalism of the different welfare states a composite index called
QWEST is used. The “Quality of Welfare State” index estimates the degree of universalism
through seven variables.
