  • Describe the development of the life cycle profiles of state legislated social rights in 18 longstanding OECD member countries from 1950 to 2000
  • The life cycle profile of the welfare state refers to the generosity of social protection during three life phases: infancy, working age and retirement
  • Relate the life cycle profiles of social rights to particular poverty risks
  • A large literature exists on particular social protection programs – but systematic comparisons of programs related to different risks are lacking
