“…Kuivalainen, 2004;Bradshaw, 2010;cf Hufkens et al, 2019). The Social Policy Indicators (SPIN) (originally Social Citizenship Indicator Programme, SCIP) and Comparative Welfare Entitlement Dataset (CWED) are examples of large international dataset projects that are based on the idea of stylised cases (see Nelson et al 2020;Scruggs, Detlef & Kuitto, 2017). The method offers the possibility of studying how the system works at the individual level.…”

In the context of the Finnish welfare state, this article examines the role of occupational welfare in the interplay between public and occupational sickness benefits from 1947 to 2016, to analyse how the two sickness benefits have interacted over time and the role occupational welfare has played in sickness provision. Previous research has noted that occupational benefits may support or compensate for the much-debated declining welfare state. Hence, it is important to acquire greater knowledge about the public-occupational interplay. The study uses in-depth individual-level analysis from a retrospective point of view, which has been rare in previous research, and examines the public-occupational interplay in the Finnish sickness benefit system from the first national collective agreements to 2016. Based on the reforms made to the public system, the article identifies and utilises six different phases of the Finnish sickness allowance system in the main analysis. The institutional development of sickness provision is investigated by analysing the compensation rate and benefit period, using metalworkers as a representative example of blue-collar workers. The results indicate that occupational benefits are strongly institutionalised in the Finnish sickness benefit system. The interplay between statutory and occupational sickness benefits has taken different forms over time, and occupational benefits have been re-negotiated as the statutory system has been reformed. The article provides valuable information on the historical development and relevance of occupational welfare, in terms of not only understanding its significance for individuals but also comprehending the logic of the interplay in the public-private mix of welfare provision.

“…Contrary to most other databases, the SPIN database is a theory-driven database. It is based on the so-called institutional, or social-rights, approach (Ferrarini 2003;Korpi 2000;Nelson et al 2020). This approach to classifying social policies builds on T. H. Marshall's idea of social citizenship and the social rights citizens of a country have as written down in country legislation.…”

“…Another module in SPIN relevant for our study is the Child Benefit Dataset (CBD). For an overview of the SPIN database and planned expansions, see Nelson et al 2020. both types of division of work in the family is low, the country is said to have marketoriented family policies. If high levels of support are directed to a gender-traditional division of work in the family and low levels of support to an earner-carer family behaviour, countries are deemed to have traditional-family policies.…”

“…Finally, understanding family policy in this multilevel context poses incredible demands to data. Data infrastructures require major investments and long-term commitments, for which funding seems increasingly scarce (e.g., LIS, 2020 ; Nelson et al, 2020 ; Scruggs, 2013 ). Not only is greater investment in the quality, availability, and comparability of current databases imperative, making further progress requires the development of institutional data infrastructures along the lines developed by Sirén, Doctrinal, Van Lancker, and Nieuwenhuis in Chapter 10.1007/978-3-030-54618-2_24.…”

Based on the multilevel perspective on family policy research brought together in this handbook, this chapter highlights five major societal challenges for the future outlook and outcomes of family policies, and reflects on what the handbook teaches us about how to effectively address these challenges, as well as what there is yet to learn. The challenges pertain to the (1) levels of policy implementation, and in particular globalization and decentralization, (2) austerity and marketization, (3) economic inequality, (4) changing family relations, and (5) welfare states adapting to women’s empowered roles. The chapter concludes by examining what lessons were learned, and are yet to learn, regarding the capacity of family policies to cope with shocks of various kinds and to support families during extraordinary times.
