WELFARE STATE RESEARCH

Although a system with long traditions in many countries, the welfare state is by no means a finished project. The work with developing a best possible society for people to grow and live is a continuous task, and a central starting point for much research. In the case of welfare state research, FARIA is working together with INVEST (Inequalities, Interventions and a New Welfare State) a research project led by the University of Turku and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare. The overall aim of this project is to produce a new model for the welfare state. Central in this work are children and the young, to improve the well-being and skill development within these population groups.
