Abstract
The research agenda of this report sets out from the tradition of the social indicator movement, focussing on the distribution of living conditions at micro level. With access to new comparative welfare surveys (ECHP and Nordic databases) the variation of living conditions within as well as between nations can be studied in more detail, and for a complete set of EU member states, for some nations even in a longitudinal perspective. Likewise is recent regime research drawing on new comparative data on the institutional context behind individual living conditions. Combining these data on ‘welfare production’ provide insight into the way living conditions are monitored by the labour market, welfare state and family at national level, and on the combined ‘welfare efficiency’ of these institutions.
