The welfare state is crisis-proof, even more confirmed by COVID19. We fortunately learnt the lesson of the austerity policies after the debt crisis of 2011-2012. However, there has been a slowdown in economic governance but especially in social convergence. Despite rich economies spend more for social protection, that was not enough at all and we realised that we still underdeveloped some of the health care or long-term systems. This gap, following the word of Mr. Pacolet, needs to be filled in by social security to avoid privatization and its consequences but also taking into account other present challenges as war, inflation, energy shortages or climate change, that underline our fragility.
