Amaral, LucianoAllegro, José Maria Correia Sollari2024-10-312024-10-312024-01-112024-01-11http://hdl.handle.net/10362/174397Beyond partially justifying the existence of a distinct welfare state model, the collective analysis of 10 Central and Eastern European countries demonstrates a low level of development of the welfare states in this region. Through a detailed study of seven variables, this work enables us to evaluate the features of the Post-Socialist Welfare States, and in which areas they converge from OCDE countries. Thus, using the index developed by Luciano Amaral and Kleoniki Alexopoulos, it is possible to assess the levels of universality in the chosen countries, comparing them with Esping-Anderson's worlds of welfare capitalism, plus the Southern European model.engWelfare stateUniversalismEstern EuropeSocial benefitsmaster thesis203600339
