Who cares in Europe?

COST Action Who Cares in Europe? aims to define and develop an emerging research field that explores the relationships among voluntary associations, families and states in the creation of social welfare in Europe.

It focuses on the question of how state welfare emerged from the social welfare provided by non-profit, non-state institutions and individuals; how it has developed and changed over time; and how, in recent years, it has entered into crisis in many countries.
