1 The question of the distinctiveness of a Southern European model of social protection and wel-
fare state has caused much debate, with some scholars arguing that the 4 countries, Italy, Greece,
Spain and Portugal, constitute a ‘fourth world of welfare capitalism’, whilst others insisting that
they are simply a subcategory of the corporatist, continental welfare regime (see Karamessini,
2008a). However, the centrality of the family and the immaturity and residual character of the
social protection systems differentiate substantially the Southern European welfare regimes from
the continental European ones.
