本文关注的是福利国家在支持年轻人方面的作用正在下降。关于新的社会风险的文献集中于机构无力应对新的社会形势，而迄今为止在很大程度上忽视了替代系统或机构填补所造成的真空的能力。本文的重点是在北欧福利国家，其中社会保障福利的发展不利的年轻人的情况。仔细阅读芬兰关于福利国家方案和代际资金转移的数据，以及关于新的社会风险的文献，可以发现，靠基本失业救济金、学生补助金或儿童家庭护理津贴等基本社会保障生活的年轻人，经济地位特别脆弱。从更详细的层面来看，这篇文章表明，在福利国家提供支持的能力不断下降的同时，从父母那里获得经济支持的人的比例一直在增加。总的结论是，有一种无形的补偿机制抵消了许多年轻人的经济脆弱性。
This paper concerns the declining role of the welfare state in supporting young adults. The literature on new social risks concentrates on the incapacity of institutions to respond to a new social situation, and has so far largely neglected the capacity of alternative systems or institutions to fill the vacuum created. The focus in the paper is on the situation of young adults in a Nordic welfare state, in which social security benefits have developed unfavourable. Perusal of Finnish data on welfare-state programmes and financial transfers across generations, and of the literature on new social risks, reveal that young adults living on the basic level of social security, such as basic unemployment benefit, a student grant or child home-care allowance, are in a particularly vulnerable economic position. On a more detailed level, the article shows that the proportion of people receiving financial support from their parents has been increasing at the same time as the welfare state's ability to provide support has been diminishing. The overall conclusion is that there is an invisible compensatory mechanism offsetting the economic vulnerability of many young adults.
