Chapter 1.Welfare Beyond the Welfare State. The Employment Relationship in Germany and the UK -- Chapter 2. A Blueprint for Mass-employment in the Period of Industrialization -- Chapter 3. Building the Welfare State in the Nineteenth Century -- Chapter 4. Employee Welfare in the Shadows of the Post-war Welfare State -- Chapter 5. The Heyday of Welfare States in the Post-Second World War Period -- Chapter 6. Socially (Ir)responsible Companies in the Twenty-first Century -- Chapter 7. The Welfare State and Post-industrial Labour Markets -- Chapter 8. A Long Way Ahead to a Long Way Ahead : Employee Welfare and Women -- Chapter 9. Trade Unions and the Challenge of Employee Welfare -- Chapter 10. Conclusion.

This book examines employee welfare in British and German companies from the 19th century through to the present day. Tracing the history of employee welfare, this comparative study reveals new issues beyond the dominant focus on the welfare state, showing that companies are an integral part of welfare systems with surprisingly few differences between the UK and Germany. Maintaining that employee welfare is a key feature of the modern employment relationship, Behling shows how the welfare programme supported industrialisation in the 19th century by cementing the standard employment model of the Fifties and Sixties, as well as how it revolves around corporate social responsibility today. The result is an innovative exploration into the changing nature of employment relationships, contemporary welfare systems, and the co-evolutionary - rather than categorical - development of economic and political institutions. An engaging and well-researched text, this book will hold special appeal to scholars of social policy, welfare politics, as well as anyone interested in the role of the state in people’s working lives.
