ABSTRACT
Welfare policy provisions, i.e. provisions that ensure rights for employees in connection with, for instance, unemployment, illness, and pensions, or which affect groups of citizens who for one reason or another only have weak links to the labour market, can be organised in various ways. Companies play a part in developments in the labour market, and therefore also contribute to the appearance of bottlenecks and structural problems. The neo-liberal researchers have launched a violent attack on the current structures and institutions on the Danish labour market. The Head of Research at the Rockwool Foundation’s Research Unit, Gunnar Viby Mogensen, asserts that the Danish welfare state model is in crisis. The unwillingness of many tax-payers to contribute through taxation to collective welfare arrangements leads to the acceptance, and possibly even the desire, to reject the needy and thus, as the final consequence, to terminate the welfare model.
