Welfare Reseach

Welfare Research

The Welfare Research group conducts research on issues related to citizens' welfare.

The main focus of research is on welfare deficits and social problems, including:

  • Poverty
  • Deprivation
  • Inclusion
  • Social exclusion

The group conducts research on the welfare impacts of social policy and the socio-political system, as well as welfare policy in general. For instance, public welfare policy is assessed from the point of view of its actual outcomes.
