Gosta Esping-Andersen on Social Policy - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 577f Social Policy/Esping-Andersen: Terminology: Def Decommodification factor/Decommodification index: indicates the degree to which individuals or families can maintain a socially acceptable standard of living, regardless of market participation. (Esping-Andersen 1990, p.37 (1). See also Esping-Andersen 1999(2). It is therefore a question of protection against dependency. The application of this indicator by Clare Bambra in 1998/99 showed a stronger protection against market forces in Northern Europe than in English speaking countries.(3) Esping-Andersen's model is characterised by an expanded social services sector. The aim of state social policy is to ensure that all citizens, regardless of their employment status, receive the highest possible level of basic social security.
