Sociale (on)zekerheid: De voorziene toekomst

In the twentieth century, the debate about the future of social security focused on two key questions: who are eligible for social security and how exactly should whom organize this security? This model came under heavy pressure from the late 1970s. In the meantime, the system has become a lot more austere and the use of collective resources has been roughly halved. A new debate arose from the late 1990s. This concerned developments in the labor market with major consequences for social security: internationalization, automation and flexibility of the labor market. In the past decade it has become increasingly tangible that many certainties that once used to be certainties are no longer, or are no longer experienced as such. It is this quest that is central to the project ‘Future of social security’.
