This article aims to understand the crisis and the reconfiguration of the welfare state. A crisis related to the employment system and with the disappearance of the integrative function of labor, leading to a conversion of the employment crisis in social crisis.

Among various alternatives highlight those that replace the state as a key actor in the reforms – incentive State, encouraging State, propelling State - able to share, under the principle of subsidiarity, with the private sector to develop public policies. In this sense, are binding, in actuality, a redefinition of the welfare state to make it more efficient and able to face the old and the new social risks, to ensure social justice.
