According to Professor Zárate,
the monograph analyses “what is happening to the system created to protect
people with dependencies”, and the contradictions it faces “due to budget cuts,
which are, in particular, affecting the social policies that protect the
underprivileged”.

The book, published in
the “Policies of Social Welfare” collection by Tirant lo Blanch publishing company, attempts to show that the lack of definition and
guarantees typical of social rights threatens to do away with the protection
that had raised the hopes of families and society as a whole.
