Social Protection in Europe 2001
The Social Protection Report 2001 analyses the trends in social expenditure over the 1990s and describes from a comparative viewpoint the most relevant reforms implemented since 1999. The Report is in line with previous reports, published by the European Commission in the 1990s. For the first time the Social Protection Committee supervised the draft by the Commission, and the text reflects the inputs of the Member States.
