This Yearbook explores the concept of 'social risk' from a historical, theoretical, and socioeconomic perspective. it illustrates social risk as a concept with a study of three important new developments: care requirements for dependent (elderly) people, social protection needs due to changes in family structures, and special protection measures necessitated by changes in the labour market.
