Contribución de la OCDE para el establecimiento del Estado de Bienestar en España

Título Original: Spain in the oecd: advances towards the welfare state

Resumen: This paper analyses the contribution of the OECD to the establishment of the Welfare State in Spain. The first section sets out the main issues under study. The second section addresses the differences between the OECD's method of operation and that of other major international organisations. The third section proposes an approach to the analysis of the OECD's influence on Spain, highlighting the variables that exert the greatest impact on the Welfare State (unemployment, health, pensions, dependence and education), as well as the general framework of economic and social policy, and of the policy of development aid. The fourth section focuses on the evolution of the OECD and on the impact of its recommendations on social policies in Spain. The final section emphasises the landslide of the OECD towards the neo-liberal paradigm, which is why its peer review processes, as well as its influence on member countries and the vision of the ongoing process of globalisation are increasingly similar to those of other international organisations.
