| Sumario: | The Welfare State grew and developed in a very concrete historical context. Post-World War II, a period marked by the “Cold War” and the confrontation between two systems, socialism and capitalism. Capitalist democracies sought, with the creation of the Welfare State, to resolve the “social question” through a consensus between capital and labor. In Portugal, during the Estado Novo (1933- 1974), an attempt was made to resolve the social issue within the framework of corporatism, a model that was said to be an alternative to socialism and liberal capitalist democracies, but without success. Thus, only with the fall of the Estado Novo dictatorship (April 1974) and in democracy were the political and institutional conditions created for the construction of the Welfare State in Portugal. |
