Motivated by debates about welfare state retrenchment and growing economic insecurity, the author provides an in-depth account of national differences in key social programmes and of crucial changes since the 1980s. To better understand their impact on the lives of ordinary citizens, he examines household panel data to assess financial consequences of late-career job loss and retirement in the two countries.
