Furthermore, problems associated with single parenthood and unemployment appear to be less severe, due to the support provided by Nordic societies to those affected. This paratively favorable state of affairs is almost certainly a consequence of the institutions and social policies of the region39。s strong and efficient central governments. In addition, the paratively egalitarian spirit of the Nordic countries, as expressed for example in their redistributive ine policies, very likely contributes to greater social cohesion and stability.Current challengesIn recent years, all Nordic governments have stepped up their efforts to encourage and assist the jobless to find gainful employment. Some may be tempted to interpret that trend as a concession to neoliberal ideology. But it is actually in plete accord with the traditional Nordic emphasis on the value of work and full participation in society. Politicians who blow the neoliberal trumpet too loudly tend to encounter resistance in Norden. Thus, the basic structures of the Nordic general welfare states have remained intact, largely due to broad political promises and the sufficient, if somewhat grudging, support of the voting public.At this point, it is impossible to say whether the minor modifications to the social insurance systems of Sweden and Finland, and to a lesser extent of Denmark, may prefigure some kind of fundamental change. But so far, the institutions and programmes of the Nordic general welfare states have survived fairly intact, despite the severe challenges of recent years. It is therefore still appropriate to speak of the Nordic model of society.
