STABILITY AND CHANGE IN THE PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE WELFARE STATE; FINLAND 1975–1985

Abstract

The economic depression of the mid‐1970s gave reasons to question many presuppositions taken almost for granted earlier. This was the case with the welfare state too, which was seen to be in crisis. This study focuses on one particular aspect of the welfare state, namely, its acceptability or legitimacy among the citizens of Finland.
