Zusammenfassung:This paper aims to contribute to the literature on social models by exploring characteristics of social policies and their classification in the enlarged European Union. The analysis is based on a set of social policy indicators with a focus on labour markets. By means of Principal Components Analysis we identify four major dimensions of social policies to reflect the main tasks including a productivity-enhancing role. The dimensions are used as a basis for clustering countries into five different groups, that is, social models, which significantly differ from the commonly proposed regional classification of social models across Europe prior to enlargement.
