Abstract
Book review
Highlights
The chapters are organized per country and divided in two parts: caused-based welfare systems, ie, illness and disability benefits are paid directly or indirectly by employers, and comprehensive social security systems, ie, general tax revenues are used to pay for the costs
The book includes a variety of expertise in the field of work disability and social security, from law, medicine, psychology, epidemiology, political and social sciences. Another strength is that this book provides the reader with an up-to-date overview of many of the current political realities in up to 13 countries, which are the key to understanding work disability policy change and implementation over the past decades
The last chapter provides an overview of challenges, opportunities, and values for work disability policy, which is useful for agenda setting
