Resumen

En el estudio de los sistemas de bienestar la relación entre el gasto social y los indicadores de vulnerabilidad como la tasa de pobreza o índices de desigualdad de ingresos tienen gran interés en la literatura. Este trabajo evalúa la productividad del gasto social de los estados de la EU15 (los estados de bienestar más consolidados de la EU28), en el período 2011-2015, con metodología Análisis Envolvente de Datos. Posteriormente, con un método clustering difuso identificamos los patrones existentes de gasto social y su eficiencia. Observamos tres grupos de países. El primero engloba la mayor parte de estado del bienestar nórdico y continental. El segundo grupo, conformado por Luxemburgo e Irlanda, son países con el menor volumen de gastos social sobre PIB pero a la vez son países eficientes. El tercero engloba a los estados del bienestar mediterráneos, junto con Gran Bretaña, que son los menos eficientes en la reducción de los indicadores de vulnerabilidad.
