This article evaluates recent transformations in social policy that reflect the tendency towards individualisation in The Netherlands. Such transformations have taken place in old age pensions, widows' pensions, social assistance and taxation, and in respect of child support following divorce. Interestingly most reforms have not resulted in ‘full individualisation’, but rather have taken into account the fact that people, in particular women, are not or cannot be assumed to be full-time adult workers. Such a ‘moderate individualisation’, however, is not without risks for women's economic independence, especially when the developments of the Dutch ‘life course perspective’ on social security are considered.

The term “economy” comes from Greek word “oikonomia” consisting of “oikos” which means household and “nomos” which means regulation. The word “oikonomia” can be defined as the applicable regulation to fulfill the needs in a household. Islamic economics aims to build the economic independence of society collectively, meanwhile conventional economics is still individualistic. In the amidst of globalization, the efforts of sharia economist in covering coventional economic flow are already good enough. System that is already ingrained in society cannot easily be changed. The good strategic plan is required in instilling Islamic economic system in the middle of society. Thomas Kuhn says: ”every system has paradigm and the core of Islamic economic paradigm is definitely from Qur’an and Sunnah”.
