A longitudinal analysis Ron DIRIS and Frank VANDENBROUCKE Public Economics Faculty of Business Diris* Vandenbroucke† Abstract Measures material are increasingly used as alternatives traditional poverty indicators. While there exists extensive literature focusing on the impact that growing up in a (financially) poor household has future success, little is known about how relates long-run outcomes.

7 POLITIQUE SOCIALE ET UNION MONETAIRE : PUZZLES, PARADOXES PERSPECTIVES1 PAR FRANK VANDENBROUCKE L’avènement d’Etats-providence nationaux forts et l’unification européenne étaient les plus beaux projets politiques du 20ème siècle ils porteurs d’espoir. Le rôle des Etats-providence était de ‘délivrer peuples la crainte besoin’. L’intégration devait mettre un terme à une histoire faite guerres meurtri- ères. Aujourd’hui, ces deux semblent dans l’impasse. L’Union (UE) est confrontée questions d’ordre existentiel qui ont trait l’objectif même coopération. Ce n’est pas remis en question, mais il semble que Etats sont moins mesure réaliser qu’ils se fixé – protéger gens. Je ne vais parler cette succession crises secoué l’Union. non tous challenges devant lesquels nos trouvent. Certaines problématiques cruciales seront donc traitées. me focalise sur question spécifique pourrait-il poursuite développement projet européen le soient pour comble malheur contradictoires ? Serions-nous présence d’un dilemme tragique, fait objectifs (intégration ouverture par l’Union, protection sécurité assurées nationaux) seraient conciliables Une école chercheurs universitaires croit effet selon Fritz Scharpf, l’UE, telle qu’elle conçue, peut être économie marché sociale ; elle pousse systématiquement membres voie modèle libéral.2 Les fondateurs n’avaient absolument cela tête, bien au contraire (1) Allocution prononcée l’occasion sa nomination comme professeur l’Université d’Amsterdam, 1er juin 2016.

5 SOCIAAL BELEID IN EEN MUNTUNIE: PUZZELS, PARADOXEN EN PERSPECTIEVEN1 DOOR FRANK VANDENBROUCKE Sterke nationale welvaartsstaten en Europese eenmaking waren de mooiste politieke projecten van 20ste eeuw: ze gaven hoop. Welvaartsstaten zouden mensen ‘bevrijden vrees nood’. De integratie moest een einde stellen aan geschiedenis bloedige oorlogen. Beide lijken nu vast te lopen. Unie (EU) is geconfronteerd met vragen die existentieel zijn omdat gaan over het doel zelf samenwerking. Het wordt niet in vraag gesteld, maar indruk bestaat dat steeds minder staat hun algemeen aanvaarde – beschermen waar maken. Ik zal hebben aaneenschakeling crisissen Unie. ook alle uitdagingen onze voor staan. Belangrijke vraagstukken blijven daarmee buiten gezichtsveld deze lezing. zoom op één specifieke kwestie: zou kunnen verdere ontwikkeling project tot overmaat ramp strijdig elkaar? Zouden we maken tragisch dilemma, doelstellingen (integratie openheid door Unie, bescherming zekerheid welvaartsstaten) als langer verenigbaar zijn? Een school academische onderzoekers mening inderdaad toegedaan: volgens Fritz Scharpf kan EU, zoals opgevat is, onmogelijk sociale markteconomie vormen; duwt lidstaten systematisch richting liberaal model2 . grondleggers dachten absoluut niet, wel integendeel: ondertekenaars Verdrag Rome ervan overtuigd economische bijdragen rijke inclusieve na- (1) Oratie bij benoeming Universiteitshoogleraar Universiteit Amsterdam, 1 juni 2016. dank Anne Van Lancker, Natascha Mechelen, Sarah Marchal, Michael Jungen, Jan Vandenbroucke, Christina Grauls, Chris Luigjes, Bea Cantillon Brian Burgoon punctueel commentaar hulp, medewerkers Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) stimulerende discussies herverzekeringen werkloosheidsuitkeringen voorbereiding tekst.
