Since the 1970s, the French welfare system has been reformed in three distinct ways:
reducing social security deficits by increasing employer and employee social contributions;
controlling spending through retrenchment of social programs; transforming the system’s
foundations through institutional change. First attempts at reforming the social insurance
system were blocked in part by that system’s own institutions. But under European Union
constraints, French governments have managed to negotiate measures that reduce social
benefits by sharpening the separation between the worlds of social insurance and national
solidarity. Institutional reform was only marginal at first, and based on ambiguous and in
some cases contradictory consensus. However, such reform is now working to further what
has become a general process of “dualizing” the French welfare system. |
