Luxembourg’s corporatist Scandinavian-welfare system and incorporation of migrants

In the following sections the authors present some key factors in order to give an idea about Luxembourg’s diversified society, its welfare system and give a concrete example of the transnationalisation of a specific welfare benefit and the underlying philosophy, showing the difficulties of a small nation-state to open up some of its welfare schemes to immigrants. Furthermore they show, to which extent immigrants and nationals consume and contribute, and present some conclusions.
