Where the early labour relations had been characterized by the opposition between labour and capital and had evolved as a constant series of conflicts, Fordism sought to incorporate the interests of labour, including to some extent the welfare interests, into the production process by emphasizing the role of workers as consumers.

Welfare provisions and social security are not only being reduced, social services, in line with other formerly public services, are being increasingly privatized or ‘contracted out’ thereby reducing the ‘steering capacity’ of the state in welfare matters which becomes concerned more with measures of control and regulation instead of support and enhancement (Pierson 1994).
