Welcome to this new episode of the “Managing Around” podcast, where today we explore the question of what it takes to maintain a welfare system that can withstand the challenges of tomorrow. With the world changing rapidly due to globalisation, technological advancements, and demographic shifts, the traditional welfare systems of the past may not be sufficient to meet the needs of the future. In this episode, we will delve into the key components of a specific example, the Irish welfare system, whose resilience and adaptability are constantly challenged to support their citizens through the uncertain times ahead. Join me as I present the first findings after I spoke with experts in the field, policymakers, and those in leadership positions of welfare providers to uncover what it takes to build a welfare system that can withstand the test of time. We will start with a brief introduction to the historical context of that specific welfare system, continue with a summary of a few findings and, finally, highlight new research perspectives.
