Search tips

Combine keywords and phrases:

  • start with just a few broad key terms, connecting terms with AND.
  • add terms to narrow your search
  • enclose phrases in quotation marks, e.g. "climate change"
  • include alternative terms in parentheses connected with OR, e.g. (policy OR legislation OR regulation)
  • truncate terms with an asterisk to find variant endings, e.g.,  (Note: Don't truncate after just a few letters -- you will find too many unrelated terms.)
  • Note: Most databases will find plurals without the need for truncation.).

sweden AND finland AND pension

hungary AND "social policy"

norway AND "housing policy"

"social insurance" AND

"social protection" AND
