Europe’s social services face a challenging time. Angela Merkel is fond of saying that Europe has 7% of the world’s population, 25% of its wealth and 50% of its welfare spending. 【R1】________
The first challenge is to tap our collective intelligence. There are many tools available to involve more people in the design and implementation of social care policies, through platforms such as challenges.org. At their best, these draw on the experiences and expertise of service users and frontline workers to help solve problems. They put people at the centre of designing social services.
The second challenge is to commit to experimentation.【R2】________Some governments, with Finland and Canada at the vanguard, are exploring alternatives to top-down national policies. They — along with Scotland and the Netherlands — are trialling innovative schemes such as universal basic income, in the hope that they will find a simpler, fairer way of supporting citizens without discouraging them from paid employment or voluntary work.
Third, governments need to make the most of digital technology. 【R3】________.
Fourth, governments need to be smarter about data. 【R4】________. Some local authorities are showing what can be done. Hackney council, for example, is working with Xanthura to develop an artificial intelligence model that can identify children at increased risk of ending up in statutory children’s social care, so they can get better support — improving lives and saving money.
【R5】________India’s biometric identity card Aadhaar has transformed access to financial services for poorer communities, but it has also made it possible for the government to offer loans direct to citizens that can be repaid through the tax system.
A. We’re used to the integration of technology with everyday activities such as shopping, travel and transport, but similar platforms can also be used for public services
B. No one knows what social care models will work best in 10 or 20 years’ time — the only way to find out is by experimenting
C. Around the world there are many examples of even more radical change that prove the public sector can innovate where there’s the will
D. If the continent is to avoid a continued period of stagnation and austerity, it will need to explore more radical options
E. Data is at the heart of private sector business models, but governments and NGOs have been much slower to realise how data can help them
F. These innovations all have a shared ethos: a spirit of learning by doing, testing ideas out on a small scale and then improving them [br] 【R1】
