Research Abstract |
Since 1981, I have published the following articles mainly on the Welfare State in Britain. (1) Transformation of the Views on Poverty at the Turn of the Nineteenth to the Twentieth Century in Britain(1981), (2) Unemployment and the State(1982), (3)Prototype of the Modern Welfare State in Britain(1984), (4)The Thatcher Government and the Welfare State(1985), (5) The Effects of Taxes and Social Benefits on Household Income(1987), and (6) Thatcerism and the Social Security(1988). Through these articles attempted I to clarify (1)the meanins of the formation of New Liberalism on the road to the welfare stateat the turn of the century, (2)what were the "Lib eral Reforms" like during 1906-1914, (3) how rapidly and radically the national integration and the social reforms advanced hand in hand during two World Wars and inter-Wars period, (4)the constrution and features of the modern welfare state created by the Attlee Government immediately after the Second World War, (5)the growth of the welfare state in the 1950s and 1960s (including the so-called 'welfare explosion'), and (6)the restructurirg of the welfare state under the Thatcher Government form 1979 onward. In these works I confined myself mainly into the aspect of income maintenance policies (social security programmes)., leaving other policies such as on education, health services and personal social services for the future.
