Sociodemocratic welfare states such as Sweden and Denmark, universalistic coverage of social security and early expansion of the service sector allow flexible careers.
Conservative welfare regimes are Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and France.
Southern welfare states, like Italy, Greece and Spain are paired with a strong employment protection, which creates an insider/outsider system.
Post-transitional nations include the Central and Eastern European nations since they undergo a transformation diverging from a unifying socialism to different market economies in 1990s.
