This text summarizes the state-of-play in social policy at the end of the 20th century, then moves on to pinpoint how policies can be reformed. It argues that social policy should aim to promote employment and healthy living rather than just cope with unemployment and ill-health, as well as pointing out the benefits to society that can be gained from investment in children and families.
