“…The Mediterranean welfare state regime is characterized by a large amount of both material and non-material intra-family transfers, in which the involvement of women in particular in care of the elderly and children is crucial (Moreno, 2001). Kin clustering is a prerequisite for such collaboration across genders and generations.…”

This exploratory paper tests whether there is a relationship between the nature of a particular society (represented by its welfare state regime), and the characteristics and appreciation of the single-family dwellings and the apartments within this society. In order to grasp differences in the nature of societies, the study uses the welfare state typology of Esping-Andersen (with the addition of a Mediterranean welfare state regime). In this (adapted) typology, four different welfare state regime types are distinguished: a social-democratic welfare state regime, a corporatist welfare state regime, a liberal welfare state regime and a Mediterranean welfare state regime. Different statistical techniques are used to investigate the relationship between welfare state regime type and dwelling type. First, a number of bivariate tables are presented that indicate how the incidence, tenure category, quality and the appreciation of single-family dwellings compared to apartments differ between welfare state regimes. Subsequently, there is an analysis of the bivariate relations between these aspects. To find out whether the typology of Esping-Andersen really is a useful classification system with regard to the characteristics and appreciation of single-family dwellings as against apartments, a cluster analysis is conducted. The clusters that result from this analysis are interpreted and compared with the typology of the four welfare state regimes. Based on the results of these statistical analyses, some conclusions are drawn and some directions for further research are outlined.

“…Beyond its intellectual interest, the long and on-going debate over the plausibility and usefulness of this fourth typology of welfare regime (Ferrera, 2008;Guillén, 2010;Guillén & León, 2011;L. Moreno, 2001), in addition to the three originally proposed by Esping-Andersen (Esping-Andersen, 1990), evidences two issues: on the one hand, the mixed nature of welfare regimes usually included within the Southern Model and, on the other, the continuous and deep transformations that these regimes have undergone in the last few decades.…”

“…During its phase of expansion , the Spanish welfare state witnessed a sharp increase in social spending on social insurance benefits and a widening of public health coverage. By the early 1990s, Spain's welfare development had already appeared to be a via media between the Bismarckian Continental and liberal Anglo-Saxon worlds of welfare capitalism (Esping-Andersen 1990;1999;Moreno 2001), and it also incorporated inputs and traits of the Nordic welfare typology (Moreno & Sarasa 1992;Moreno 2008). Later, while Spain became more liberal in its macroeconomic policies, social policymaking followed a pattern of generalisation and universalisation of welfare entitlements and provisions (Rodríguez-Cabrero 2004).…”

In contemporary times, Spain offers a good example of a very compressed transition to post-industrial socioeconomic structures, passing from peripheral to core status within the European Union (EU) and the international economic order. The present article reviews developments and outcomes in Spain since 2000 by paying attention to the impact of the EU on Spain's welfare political economy. The adoption of EU recommendations in labour activation policies and the increase in female participation in the formal labour market are singled out as highly relevant for policy change. The explanatory account of welfare development focuses on continuity and change by considering the analytical constellation of ideas, interests and institutions.
