    Description: The Last Mile explores the gaps and dichotomy between drafted policies and their implementation, and the last mile challenges which often make public services inaccessible to the poorest and most vulnerable sections of society. It provides an in-depth overview of the dynamics between communities, research and consultation and the implementation of policies for development. Rich in empirical data and case studies from different government programmes and reports, this book examines the implementation of government service programmes for poverty reduction, women’s empowerment, and income generation for the poor, among others, from a people’s perspective. It highlights the need for policies and institutions to align their methods to community needs. Offering guidelines for redesigning as well as solutions to counter challenges related to lack of trust and effective communication, human resource management, capacity development, redressal mechanisms, and facilitating the last mile connection, the author delineates effective ways for integrating new technologies in policy implementation. The book also addresses legacy issues in institutions and re-orienting policy for better governance, transparency, and building trust. Part of the Innovations, Practice and the Future of Public Policy in India series, this book, by a senior practitioner, will be an essential resource for students and researchers of development studies, sociology, public policy and governance, economics, and South Asian studies.

    Description: Zusammenfassung Alte Menschen mit Hilfe- und Pflegebedarf, die in Altenpflegeeinrichtungen leben, haben nicht nur Anspruch auf eine qualitätsvolle medizinisch-pflegerische Versorgung, sondern explizit das Recht auf ein selbstbestimmtes Leben, das ihnen gesellschaftliche Teilhabe ermöglicht. Dazu verpflichten nicht zuletzt die Vorgaben der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention. Das anwendungs-orientierte Forschungsprojekt „Selbstbestimmt teilhaben in Altenpflegeeinrichtungen“ hat Voraussetzungen zur Verwirklichung der selbstbestimmten Teilhabe von Bewohner*innen in stationären Einrichtungen der Altenhilfe analysiert. Im Rahmen einer sequentiellen Mixed-Methods-Studie wurden u. a. Interviews mit Bewohner*innen, Angehörigen und Mitarbeiter*innen sowie teilnehmende Beobachtungen in ausgewählten Einrichtungen und eine NRW-weite Online-Befragung durchgeführt. So konnten erstmals fördernde und hemmende Faktoren auf Ebene der Bewohner*innen, Mitarbeiter*innen und Einrichtung identifiziert und wichtige Anforderungen an die Teilhabeförderung praxisnah in einem Musterrahmenkonzept aufbereitet werden. Abstract Elderly residents of nursing homes do not only have the right to receive high-quality medical and nursing care, but also and explicitly to lead an autonomous life that enables them to partic-ipate in society. This right is not least stipulated in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The application-based research project ‘Autonomous Participation in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly’ analysed the prerequisites for realising elderly residents’ autonomous participation in their nursing homes. Within the framework of a sequential mixed methods study, the researchers conducted interviews with such residents, their relatives and care home staff, participatory observations in selected nursing homes and an online survey throughout North Rhine-Westphalia. As a result, they were able to identify factors which facilitate and restrict such participation from the perspectives of the residents, staff and the care home itself for the first time, and thus stipulate important requirements for the facilitation and implementation of participation within a framework model.

    Description: 25 years ago there was still forced early retirement. Today, working life is drawn out for as long as possible: this book explains how this paradigm shift in aged employment came about.
    Description: Innerhalb von 20 Jahren wurde auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in Deutschland ein Paradigmenwechsel zur Alterserwerbstätigkeit vollzogen, der sich in zwei Schüben entfaltete: Die Politik wandte sich im letzten Jahrzehnt des alten Jahrhunderts von der Frühverrentung ab, und im ersten Jahrzehnt des neuen Jahrhunderts stieg die Alterserwerbsbeteiligung in einem – auch im europäischen Vergleich – überraschend starken Ausmaß an. Dieses Buch zeichnet den Wandel des Altersübergangs differenziert nach: In welchen Schritten hat er sich vollzogen, und wie haben die vielen Stellschrauben beim Übergang vom Erwerbsleben in die Rente ineinandergegriffen?

    Description: In this book [titled Home, welfare work and vulnerability] the authors take the reader on welfare workers’ home visits to clients in need of support in their living. Welfare workers refer to professionals in health and social care who in the book are represented among others by social workers, social care workers and nurses. The main concepts of the book are home, welfare work and vulnerability and these are contemplated from different angles. Welfare work entails encountering people who are in vulnerable situations in the midst of their everyday lives. They may need support in coping with their mental health, with physical illnesses, with the challenges of achieving sobriety and recovery or perhaps with the difficulties accompanying old age. On the one hand their ability to act is limited and weak but on the other they have many kinds of strengths and resources. The book addresses a significant turning point in welfare services and work at which the objective is defined as the right of every individual to their own home and making living at home feasible for as long as possible. In the last fifty years or so many societal factors have made possible the dismantling of institutions, the reduction of places and the shortening of stays in institutions, the further development of care in the community, the construction of small residential and care facilities and most recently the further development of services to be taken into people’s homes. The last stage of this dismantling of institutions is referred to in the book as the “home turn”. As a societal change the home turn is complex – and that is how it is approached in the book. When one’s own home is the main place in which welfare policy and work are implemented, it is important to scrutinize more closely what actually occurs there and what special issues are connected to this given context. The book offers a timely point of view on the development of welfare services and the grass-root level welfare work done in the homes. It draws on interaction research based on ethnomethodology and human geography. Research data consist of recordings of home visits, researcher’s field diaries and interviews with clients and workers. The work includes both chapters providing conceptual and theoretical overviews and empirical research on the encounters between client and worker(s) on home visits. Welfare work accomplished in people’s homes entails many tensions and ethical issues which are analysed in the book and made visible through the means of research.

    Description: In der ökonomischen Analyse von Transformationsprozessen steht traditionell die Steigerung der Effizienz durch Privatisierung und Wettbewerb im Vordergrund der Betrachtung. Die Erfahrungen aus dem Übergang von Plan- zu Marktwirtschaften in den mittel- und osteuropäischen Reformländern während der letzten zwölf Jahre zeigen indessen, daß ungelöste Verteilungsprobleme im weitesten Sinne zu ernsthaften Reformblockaden führen können. Der vorliegende Sammelband faßt die Beiträge der Jahrestagung des Ausschusses für Wirtschaftssysteme vom 17. bis 19. 09. 2000 in Potsdam zum Thema "Verteilungsprobleme im Transformationsprozeß" zusammen. Bewußt wird hier der Begriff "Verteilungsprobleme" so weit gefaßt, daß er auch die Verteilung politischer Entscheidungskompetenz sowie die Verteilung von Entscheidungsmacht im Unternehmen im Hinblick auf die Massenprivatisierung einschließt. Ein weiterer für die Reformländer zentraler gesellschafts- und verteilungspolitischer Aspekt, nämlich das Problem der Alterssicherung und der intergenerationellen Umverteilung in kleinen offenen Transformationswirtschaften, wird ebenso behandelt wie die praktische Arbeitsmarktpolitik in verschiedenen Reformländern (Polen, Ungarn und Tschechien). Probleme der Einkommensverteilung im Transformationsprozeß, etwa der Zusammenhang zwischen Transformation und Einkommensverteilung oder die Frage der Einkommensdynamik und der Stabilität im Transformationsprozeß, vor allem am Beispiel der Tschechischen Republik, schließen die Erörterung der Verteilungsproblematik beim Übergang zur Marktwirtschaft ab.

    Description: Das Gesundheitswesen hat sich innerhalb weniger Jahre zu einem wichtigen Feld der wirtschaftspolitischen Debatte entwickelt. Dabei greifen zwei Entwicklungslinien ineinander über. Einerseits entwickelt sich das Gesundheitswesen als Ganzes immer mehr zu einer Gesundheitswirtschaft, wo Wachstums- und Entwicklungsprozesse eine begleitende Wettbewerbsordnung benötigen. Andererseits ist der innere Kern des Gesundheitswesens, das solidarisch finanzierte System der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung, einem stetigen Reformdruck ausgesetzt. Das System der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung unterliegt trotz größerer Öffnungsklauseln zugunsten selektiver Vertragsoptionen mit niedergelassenen Ärzten und Krankenkassen in den meisten Fällen nicht dem Wettbewerbsrecht, sondern dem Sozialrecht bzw. das Wettbewerbsrecht soll analog von Sozialgerichten berücksichtigt werden. Gerade die Frage, wie Wettbewerbsregeln einerseits und die Garantie sozialer Sicherheit andererseits ausgestaltet werden können, beherrscht die gesundheitspolitische Debatte. Dabei ist wettbewerbstheoretisch die Frage zu klären, welche Analogien des allgemeinen Wettbewerbsrechts, sei es im Bereich der Fusionskontrolle, bei der Frage abgestimmten Verhaltens oder bei Aspekten des Behinderungswettbewerbs, übertragbar sind. Die Beiträge im Band - allesamt schriftliche Fassungen der im März 2009 in Leipzig auf der Jahrestagung 2009 der Arbeitsgruppe Wettbewerb des Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschusses im Verein für Socialpolitik gehaltenen Referate - zeigen unterschiedliche Ausprägungen der Wettbewerbsorientierung im Gesundheitswesen auf. Insbesondere werden verschiedene Ausprägungen im Verhältnis der Krankenversicherungen untereinander bzw. im Verhältnis Krankenversicherung und Leistungserbringer problematisiert. Die Beiträge bilden vornehmlich den Blick der Praxis ab und sollen somit in Kombination mit den wissenschaftlichen Grundprinzipien, die im Eingangsreferat deutlich werden, aktuelle Fragen der Wettbewerbsorientierung im Gesundheitswesen beleuchten und mögliche Lösungsstrategien entwerfen.

    Description: »Globalisierung des Wettbewerbs«, »Erfüllung der Maastricht-Kriterien zum Eintritt in die Europäische Währungsunion«, »Bevölkerungsrückgang und Alterung der Gesellschaft« - dies sind die beherrschenden Themen der gegenwärtigen öffentlichen Debatte um die Sozialpolitik. In diesem Zusammenhang wird zunehmend der »Umbau des Sozialstaats« beschworen. Dieser schillernde Begriff meint primär eine Begrenzung der ökonomischen Belastungen durch die Sozialpolitik, deren originäre Ziele - »Gerechtigkeit der Verteilung«, »Gewährleistung sozialer Sicherheit«, »Integration aller Gesellschaftsmitglieder«, »Aufrechterhaltung des inneren Friedens« und »Legitimierung des politischen Systems« - dabei jedoch nicht ausreichend abgewogen werden. Unbeachtet bleibt in der mit sehr pauschalen Argumenten geführten öffentlichen Debatte auch, daß die Lasten der von einer überwältigenden Mehrheit befürworteten deutschen Wiedervereinigung noch eine Generation lang zu tragen sein werden - und nicht als untragbare Großzügigkeit des Sozialstaats mißverstanden werden dürfen. Dieser Diskussionsstand bildet den Hintergrund für die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes. Hans Jürgen Rösner behandelt als mögliche Abwehr- und Reformstrategien des Sozialstaats zum einen die Implementierung internationaler Arbeits- und Sozialstandards und zum anderen eine Ausweitung des Sozialversicherungsschutzes bei gleichzeitiger besserer Abstimmung zwischen Beschäftigungs- und Sicherungssystem. Roland Eisen beschäftigt sich mit Reformüberlegungen zur Arbeitslosenversicherung. Insbesondere werden die Ausgliederung einiger »versicherungsfremder« Leistungen, eine andere zeitliche Staffelung des Arbeitslosengeldes sowie verschiedene Formen von Lohnsubventionen auf der Basis von Vouchern diskutiert. Anita B. Pfaff widmet sich Reformproblemen der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung. Während bei der Familienmitversicherung und bei der Erhöhung der Beitrags- und Versicherungspflichtgrenzen sowie bei der Ausweitung der Bemessungsgrundlage Ansatzpunkte für Einnahmesteigerungen gesehen werden, zeigen sich beim Übergang zu risikoäquivalenten Beiträgen gravierende Verteilungsprobleme, die diese Strategie als nicht akzeptabel erscheinen lassen. Günter Neubauer präsentiert seine eigene Sichtweise zum Gutachten »Gesundheitsreform 2000 - Ziele, Konzeption, Instrumente«. Dabei werden Probleme der Zielfindung, der Bedarfsgerechtigkeit und einer verbesserten Wirtschaftlichkeit durch Einführung von stärker wettbewerblich organisierten Steuerungselementen diskutiert. Abschließend behandelt Winfried Schmähl Reformmöglichkeiten für die Finanzierungsstruktur der Sozialversicherungen sowie die zur Begründung dienenden allokativen, distributiven und ordnungspolitischen Aspekte und Wirkungen.

    Description: Krisenzeiten sind schwierig, bergen aber auch Herausforderungen für Individuen und Gesellschaft, die nicht nur negative Konsequenzen haben müssen. Krisen können ein positives Potenzial entwickeln und als Wendepunkt, als Anlass zur Neu- und Umorientierung fungieren. Damit dies gelingt, ist in besonderem Maße Solidarität erforderlich: Gemeinsame Probleme müssen kollektiv bearbeitet, individuelle Interessen zum Schutz anderer zurückgestellt werden. Von diesem Verständnis ausgehend blickt der Sammelband aus sozialpädagogischer Perspektive auf die Coronakrise und darüber hinaus: Was macht die Krise mit uns als Gesellschaft? In welcher Weise sind spezifische Gruppen betroffen und wie gehen sie damit um? Welche Auswirkungen hat die Krise auf individueller Ebene? Die Beiträge beleuchten Herausforderungen und Probleme, aber auch Lösungsansätze.; Times of crisis are difficult times. They hold challenges for individuals and society, but they do not have to have exclusively negative consequences. Crises can develop a positive potential and act as a turning point, an occasion for reorientation and change. For this to succeed, solidarity is particularly necessary: crises can rarely be overcome alone, common problems must be dealt with collectively, individual interests must be put aside to protect others. Starting from this understanding, the volume looks at the Corona crisis: What is the crisis doing to us as a society? In what ways are specific groups affected and how do they deal with it? What are the effects of the crisis at the individual level? The contributions shed light on challenges and problems, but also on approaches to solutions.

    Description: "What do undocumented migrants experience when they try to access healthcare? How do they navigate the (often contradictory) challenges presented by bureaucratic systems, financial pressures, attitudes to migrants, and their own healthcare needs? This urgent study uses a grounded theory approach to explore the ways in which undocumented migrants are included in or excluded from healthcare in a Swiss region. Marianne Jossen explores the ways migrants try to obtain healthcare on their own, with the help of NGOs or via insurance, and how they cope if they fail, whether by using risky strategies to access healthcare or leaving serious health issues untreated. Jossen shows that even for those who succeed, inclusion remains partial and fraught with risks. Based on interviews with migrants, health practitioners and NGO staff and using a rigorous academic approach, Undocumented Migrants and Healthcare is an important contribution to a vital contemporary issue. It is necessary reading for researchers in Public Health and Migration Studies, as well as government and non-governmental organisations in Switzerland and beyond. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with healthcare and migration in the twenty-first century."

    Description: Disabled children are exposed to a host of remedial treatments, therapies or surgeries seeking to restore the ‘normality’ of their bodies and minds. The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in its Article 12 entitles children with the ‘right to be heard’ in all matters that affect their lives including healthcare. This chapter explores the barriers to participation disabled children may face in the context of healthcare decision-making and examines the synergies between the norms of the CRC and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) setting standards for States Parties to eliminate such barriers.

    Description: This volume collects some of the contributions presented at the Italian session of the International Social Work Education and Development Online (ISWED 2021) conference, jointly organised by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), and the International Council of Social Welfare (ICSW) and, for the Italian language sessions, by the National Foundation of Social Workers. Its aim is to contribute to the debate that was opened with the creation of the Global Agenda, an initiative taken by the three international organisations in the 2010/2020 decade and renewed for the 2020/2030 decade. In particular, the volume offers reflections on the role of social work in promoting human relations, justice and social solidarity, showing how research, training and professional practice can have an impact in translating the goals guiding the Global Agenda into practice. While the first eight chapters deal specifically with the Italian context and address different themes, such as social work in the face of social emergency, qualitative research as a means of reconstructing social action, perspectives in decision-making processes for the protection of minors, and reciprocity in the exchange between social work and the homeless, the agapic relationship in social work, the production of knowledge in the process of aid, and finally the practices of training in Italian universities, the ninth chapter is dedicated to a historical analysis of social service and training in the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil. Keywords: social work, social justice, social solidarity, human relations, global agenda We believe that this volume can offer an articulate and complex panorama of what is being debated and realised in contemporary social work and can be of interest to all those who, teachers, students, professionals working in the social field.

    Description: erspective. All in all, this book is an attempt to give the reader a comprehensive understanding of the public health and social services and the markets – markets in which different objectives, expectations and contradictions moderate the discussion and actions. "
    Description: "Julkisten palvelujen järjestämisen ja tuottamisen tavat ovat olleet melkoisessa turbulenssissa viime aikoina. Tulevaisuuden maakunta- ja sote-uudistus jatkaa muutoksen aikaa ja voimistaa aikaisemmin alkanutta kehitystä ottamalla asiakkaat, yksityiset toimijat ja markkinat mukaan palvelujen kehittämiseen ja tuottamiseen. Markkinoiden luominen ja huoltaminen (ALIS) -hankkeen tavoitteena oli laajentaa ymmärrystä sosiaali- ja terveysmarkkinoiden toiminnasta sekä markkinoilla toimivien motiiveista, tarpeista ja toimintalogiikoista. Nyt jos koskaan on tarvetta tiedolle, joka käsittelee julkishallinnon roolia, toimintaa ja suhdetta markkinoihin yleisesti sekä palvelujen järjestämisen ja hankinnan tapoja, eli suhdetta yrityksiin ja asiakkaisiin erityisesti. Sote-palvelut markkinoilla -teos kokoaa yhteen ALIS-hankkeen keskeiset havainnot ja johtopäätökset. Kirja jakaantuu neljään osakokonaisuuteen, jotka koostuvat itsenäisistä tieteellisistä artikkeleista. Ensimmäinen osa käsittelee kuntia sote-markkinoiden toimijoina ja hahmottelee uuden elinvoimakunnan toimintamallia. Toinen osa avaa osallisuuden ja asiakaslähtöisyyden teemoja osana palvelujen kehittämistä. Kolmannessa osassa tarkastellaan hankintoja ja erityisesti tulosperusteista hankintaa, joka on verraten uusi palvelujen hankintatapa. Neljäs osa haastaa lukijaa markkinoiden laajempaan tarkasteluun astetta filosofisemmin ja liberalistisemmin. Kokonaisuudessaan teos tarjoaa monipuolisen näkymän sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluihin sekä -markkinoihin. ALIS-hanke toteutettiin vuosina 2013–2016 ja se rahoitettiin Tekesin Innovaatiot sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluissa -ohjelmasta. Hankkeen kohdekaupunkeina olivat Jyväskylä, Tampere ja Turku."

    Description: Die Bildungspolitik eines Landes folgt in der Regel keinem wohldefinierten Optimierungsprozeß. Wertvorstellungen, Vorurteile und Ideologien der jeweiligen Entscheidungsträger sowie historische Entwicklungen und institutionelle Vorgaben bedingen die bildungspolitischen Entschlüsse. Angesichts der begrenzten Zeit und unvollständiger Information tritt an die Stelle einer Suche nach einer optimalen Lösung in der Regel das Tagesgeschäft des stückweisen Vorgehens. Die Organisationstheorie läßt vor diesem Hintergrund Zweifel an der Effektivität einer externen Bildungsplanung aufkommen. Die Effizienz eines zentral geplanten Bildungssystems dürfte erheblich geringer sein als die eines Marktsystems, und die Risiken organisatorischer Fehlentwicklungen sind möglicherweise größer als die eines Marktversagens. Keine Theorie jedoch kann und sollte unmittelbar auf die Praxis angewandt werden; ohne eine theoretische Orientierung entsteht freilich auch keine gute Politik. Die in diesem Band zusammengefaßten Beiträge folgen dieser Linie, indem sie aktuelle Probleme der Bildungsorganisation auf drei Ebenen aufgreifen: der der Schule, der des Dualen Systems und der der Hochschule.

    Description: Mit diesem Band wird der zweite Teil der Untersuchungen vorgelegt, die der Bildungsökonomische Ausschuß in den vergangenen Jahren zum Themenkomplex »Bildung, Bildungsfinanzierung und Einkommensverteilung« diskutiert hat. In den drei Beiträgen dieses Sammelbandes, die die Autoren auf der Jahrestagung 1992 in Nürnberg präsentierten, stehen vor allem Anwendungen theoretischer Überlegungen auf der Grundlage reicher empirischer Befunde für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland im Mittelpunkt. Daß dabei die Hochschulausbildung eine besonders große Rolle spielt, ist nicht verwunderlich. Zum einen verband man mit der jetzt eingetretenen starken Expansion der Hochschulabsolventen häufig die Erwartung, daß die Einkommensunterschiede zwischen den Arbeitskräften mit unterschiedlichen Bildungsqualifikationen zusammenschmelzen würden, zum anderen haben viele in der öffentlichen Finanzierung der akademischen Ausbildungswege, die in der Vergangenheit zu relativ hohen Arbeitseinkommen führten, schon lange ein distributionspolitisches Problem gesehen. Bellmann, Reinberg und Tessaring gehen in ihrem Beitrag der Frage nach, ob sich mit der Bildungsexpansion zwischen 1961 und 1991 und mit den Änderungen der bildungsmäßigen Qualifikationsstrukturen zwischen 1976 und 1989 die bildungsbedingten Einkommensabstände und Bildungsrenditen gesenkt haben. Die Antwort ist durchweg negativ. Umso gewichtiger werden die Untersuchungen von Grüske und Timmermann, die den Verteilungskonsequenzen der Finanzierung der Hochschulausbildung - bei unterstellter Konstanz der Markteinkommen - auf der Grundlage neuerer Daten (Einkommens- und Verbrauchsstichprobe sowie Mikrozensus) nachgehen. Die Analyse erfolgt sowohl aus der Perspektive der Eltern als auch aus der Sicht der entsprechend ausgebildeten Arbeitskräfte. Bei Grüske stehen die gesamten steuerfinanzierten öffentlichen Hochschulausgaben, bei Timmermann gebührenfinanzierte zusätzliche Ausgaben im Mittelpunkt. Trotz unterschiedlicher Vorgehensweisen stimmen A

    Description: State-funded social protection can assist poor families in providing for disabled children, especially in the global south where most of the world’s disabled population lives. This chapter is a case study of the South African care dependency grant, a social assistance cash transfer available to caregivers of disabled children. The programme is strong in principle but insufficient access and poor implementation have limited progress toward CRC and CRPD obligations. There is an urgent need for attitudinal change, effective intersectoral collaboration and practical (rather than symbolic) commitments to disabled children as full rights-holders. Insights are relevant to those interested in social protection for disabled children in the global south and in the north, where austerity measures threaten earlier progress.

    Description: Access to justice for all, regardless of the ability to pay, has been a core democratic value. But this basic human right has come under threat through wider processes of restructuring, with an increasingly market-led approach to the provision of welfare. Professionals and volunteers in Law Centres in Britain are struggling to provide legal advice and access to welfare rights to disadvantaged communities. Drawing upon original research, this unique study explores how strategies to safeguard these vital services might be developed in ways that strengthen rather than undermine the basic ethics and principles of public service provision. The book explores how such strategies might strengthen the position of those who provide, as well as those who need, public services, and ways to empower communities to work more effectively with professionals and progressive organisations in the pursuit of rights and social justice agendas more widely.

    Description: During the last 30 years, the governments of many Western countries have repeatedly called for an end to welfare. While the virtue of this goal and the means of achieving it continue to be debated in politics, much of contemporary social science research assumes that, in fact, the end of the welfare state has already occurred. The authors of this volume hope to contribute to a clearer understanding of how, where and to what extent welfare state settings really have changed since the 1980s. Their work examines questions of change and continuity while exploring various welfare practices in the Western world.

    Description: This open access book analyses the idea that medicine and psychology have a substantial (and underestimated) impact on Western welfare states. Based on mixed-methods analyses conducted in Germany, it analyses this influence on debates and policies related to unemployment, poverty, and childhood. The book demonstrates how the turn to neoliberalism and social investment thinking has created this medicalisation and psychologisation of social policies, and the contributions provide important insights for students and scholars of sociology of health and illness, political sociology, social and health policy, medicine, psychology, and public health.

    Description: Die Arbeit befaßt sich mit den Finanzierungsproblemen, die durch die prognostizierte Bevölkerungsentwicklung für die Gesetzliche Rentenversicherung entstehen. Zunächst wird herausgearbeitet, daß nur Instrumente, die an den demographischen Ursachen der Finanzierungsprobleme ansetzen, eine wirkliche Reduzierung der Lasten bewirken können. Hier bieten sich eine Erhöhung des Kinderlastenausgleichs und eine verstärkte Einwanderung an. Als Ergebnis einer Wirkungsanalyse des Kinderlastenausgleichs auf der Basis der neoklassischen Fertilitätstheorie wird eine Aufstockung der Mittel um gut 70.000 DM pro Kind für erforderlich gehalten, um den Beitragssatz im Jahr 2030 gegenüber einem laissez-faire Szenario um 1,5 Prozentpunkte zu senken. Durch eine verstärkte Einwanderung ließe sich die gleiche Beitragssatzreduzierung kostengünstiger erreichen.

    Description: Apart from financing retirement provision, assistance and care for elderly people ist he central issue in Swiss politics concerning elderly people. While medical care has been in focus of the discourse about health and social politics for a while, the issue of care work was often only touched upon. This book discusses legal issues concerning medical care and care work, describes the involved actors, the education, the recruitment and the wages of employees. Furthermore, self-sustained and health promoting living at a high age is an issue. It becomes evident that care work is neither legally defined nor with regards to content. Legal regulations securing quality standards, legal stability for employees as well as the integration of care work into the system of social security, are lacking in practice. In view of these conditions and changes and society, this book shows that the issue of care work needs more consideration in the political discourse concerning elderly people.

    Description: Governments in liberal democracies pursue social welfare, but in many different ways. The wellbeing approach instead asks: Why not focus directly on increasing measured human happiness? Why not try to improve people’s overall quality of life, as it is subjectively seen by citizens themselves? The radical implications of this stance include shifting attention to previously neglected areas (such as mental health and ‘social infrastructure’ services) and developing defensible measures of overall wellbeing or quality of life indicators. Can one ‘master’ concept of wellbeing work to create more holism in policy-making? Or should we stick with multiple metrics? These debates have been live in relation to an alternative ‘capacities’ approaches, and they are well-developed in health policymaking. Most recently, the connections between wellbeing and political participation have come into sharper focus. Wellbeing remains a contested concept, one that can be interpreted and used differently, with consequences for how it is incorporated into policy decisions. By bringing together scholars from economics, psychology and behavioural science, philosophy and political science, the authors explore how different disciplinary approaches can contribute to the study of wellbeing and how this can shape policy priorities.

    Description: The underlying frame of social work is the nation state, and it is from within the state that welfare strategies and social policies are devised and implemented. However, post-colonialism, globalisation, migration and the associated implications for human rights, social justice and social welfare policies contest the idea of a clearly defined space for social work and present new challenges for researchers and practitioners. Transnational Social Work and Social Welfare argues for the increased importance of the transnational perspective in social work theory and practice. The book challenges the idea of the nation state as a given entity and argues that globalization and an increasing number of people crossing borders must have an impact on the theories and strategies of social work. The international contributors are critical of a restricted focus on a geographically defined space and the impact on work with clients. With cases covering China, France, India, UK, Germany, Malaysia, Israel, Turkey, the book highlights the challenges as well as the opportunities this new perspective can open up for theories and strategies in social work. It will be of interest to students, researchers and social workers interested in migration, social care, poverty and cultural competency in health and social care.

    Description: "The dependency on social security: Social bums in disengaged society? In Finland, most discussion on the welfare state's condition has focused on stabilizing the public-sector's finances. However, more essential for the future of the welfare state is its' social foundation, meaning people’s experiences of fairness, equality and reliability of the society as well as the welfare state's capability of taking care of the most vulnerable groups of people. A functional welfare state combines economic stability with the social foundation. However in the mid 2010s there are cracks in the social foundation of the welfare state . In this book the cracks of welfare state's social foundation are analysed from the perspective of dependency on social security. Especially the Finns' attitudes and political divisions, policies, the length of customership of last-resort social security, the functionality of service and income transfer systems, social segmentation created by breadlines and coping on the last-resort social security are observed. The book is meant for all interested in the condition and future of the welfare state. It is suitable as a textbook in universities and universities of applied sciences. The editor of the book, Juho Saari, is Professor in social and health policy at the University of Tampere and part-time Professor in welfare sociology at the University of Eastern Finland. He has also a docent at the University of Helsinki, at the University of Turku and at the University of Jyväskylä. "
    Description: "Suurin osa hyvinvointivaltion tilasta käydystä yhteiskuntapoliittisesta keskustelusta on kohdentunut julkisen talouden vakauttamiseen. Kuitenkin keskeisempää hyvinvointivaltion tulevaisuudelle on sen sosiaalinen perusta, eli ihmisten kokemukset yhteiskunnan reiluudesta, tasa-arvoisuudesta ja luotettavuudesta sekä hyvinvointivaltion kyky kantaa vastuu kaikkein haavoittuvimmassa asemassa olevista ryhmistä. Toimiva hyvinvointivaltio sovittaa yhteen taloudellisen kestävyyden ja sosiaalisen perustan. Kuitenkin 2010-luvun puolivälin hyvinvointivaltion sosiaalisessa perustassa on halkeamia. Tässä teoksessa analysoidaan hyvinvointivaltion sosiaalisen perustan halkeamia ja murroksia sosiaaliturvariippuvuuden näkökulmasta. Erityisesti tarkastelemme siihen liittyviä suomalaisten asenteita ja poliittisia jakolinjoja, politiikkalinjauksia, viimesijaisen turvan asiakkuuksien kestoa, palvelu- ja tulonsiirtojärjestelmien toimivuutta, leipäjonojen luomia yhteiskunnallisia jakolinjoja ja ihmisten selviytymistä viimesijaisella turvalla. Teos on tarkoitettu kaikille hyvinvointivaltion tilasta ja tulevaisuudesta kiinnostuneille. Se soveltuu oppikirjaksi yliopistoihin ja ammattikorkeakouluihin. Teoksen toimittaja Juho Saari on Tampereen yliopiston sosiaali- ja terveyspolitiikan professori ja Itä-Suomen yliopiston hyvinvointisosiologian osa-aikainen professori sekä Helsingin, Turun ja Jyväskylän yliopistojen dosentti.

    Description: El presente libro es resultado de una iniciativa conjunta entre la Confederación Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Trabajadores Estatales (CLATE) y el Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO), que tuvo su origen en ocasión del año del cincuentenario de ambas organizaciones. En relación a las investigaciones que aquí se publican, creemos que hemos respondido a la necesidad de articular la acción sindical con la investigación social. Para los trabajadores existe una doble demanda al respecto. En primer lugar, la de contar con información de primera mano, que pueda servir de insumo a la acción sindical. En segundo lugar, la de poder relevar y conocer en profundidad distintos aspectos vinculados al mundo del trabajo a través de estudios de alcance regional, que permitan un análisis comparado entre nuestros países. Y esto es así tanto por el carácter regional de nuestra Confederación como por el hecho de que los embates del capital sobre el trabajo se producen a nivel regional y global, lo que exige respuestas por parte de los trabajadores en el mismo sentido.

    Description: In The Politics of the Welfare State in Turkey, author Erdem Yörük provides a politics-based explanation for the post-1980 transformation of the Turkish welfare system, in which poor relief policies have replaced employment-based social security. This book is one of the results of Yörük’s European Research Council-funded project, which compares the political dynamics in several emerging markets in order to develop a new political theory of welfare in the global south. As such, this book is an ambitious analytical and empirical contribution to understanding the causes of a sweeping shift in the nature of state welfare provision in Turkey during the recent decades—part of a global trend that extends far beyond Turkey. Most scholarship about Turkey and similar countries has explained this shift toward poor relief as a response to demographic and structural changes including aging populations, the decline in the economic weight of industry, and the informalization of labor, while ignoring the effect of grassroots politics. In order to overcome these theoretical shortages in the literature, the book revisits concepts of political containment and political mobilization from the earlier literature on the mid-twentieth-century welfare state development and incorporates the effects of grassroots politics in order to understand the recent welfare system shift as it materialized in Turkey, where a new matrix of political dynamics has produced new large-scale social assistance programs.

    Description: This Brief presents new approaches and innovative challenges to address bringing technology into community-oriented policing efforts. “Community-oriented policing” is an approach that encourages police to develop and maintain personal relationships with citizens and community organizations. By developing these partnerships, the goal is to enhance trust and legitimacy of police by the community (and vice versa), and focus on engaging the community crime prevention and detection efforts for sustainable, long-term crime reduction. The contributions to this volume emphasize the societal implications of new technologies for community-oriented policing goals, such as: -Strengthening community policing principles through strengthed community feeling and lower feeling of insecurity - Reducing the fear of crime and enhancing the perception of security in large, urban environments -Enhancing citizens feelings' of empowerment, belonging, and collective efficacy Contributions to this volume were developed out of the Next Generation Community Policing (NGCP) International Conference was co-organized by nine contributing research and development projects, funded by the Horizon 2020 SECURITY Program of the European Commission. It will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as well as related fields such as sociology, public health, security, IT and public policy.

    Description: "How much room to manoeuvre do administrators of municipal social services feel they have in meeting organizational objectives? How much latitude do staff in these services have to utilize their own expertise in performing tasks? What challenges do welfare services face due to cultural diversity? Can new ways of working contribute to increased learning for students in the practice field? These are among the questions addressed in this book, in which challenges associated with maintaining society’s objectives in municipal health, care and child welfare services are focused on. The goal is to provide the reader with insight into degree of latitude pratictioners have when seeking to utilize their own expertise in the context of their job. The book is a collection of ten scholarly articles that, via new empirical studies and theoretical contributions, shed light on manoeuvering room within the practical fulfilment of professional welfare services in the two main municipal healthcare and child welfare organizations. Both services must comply with public regulatory measures in an increasingly more complex field; both are therefore examined in the same anthology. Latitude in Professional Welfare Administration is directed primarily toward students in nursing, child welfare and social education, but may be of interest to students in other health and caregiving fields as well. Employees within municipal health and family services including child welfare services, and politicians involved in development within this sector, will also find this anthology useful. The anthology’s editors are Bente Lilljan Lind Kassah, professor of sociology at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Harstad; Hilde Nordahl-Pedersen, assistant professor at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Harstad; and Wivi-Ann Tingvoll, docent emerita at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Narvik."
    Description: "Hvordan opplever ledere handlingsrommet for å ivareta kommunale tjenesters samfunnsoppdrag? Hvilket handlingsrom har ansatte når de skal benytte sin kompetanse for å løse oppgaver? Hvordan utfordres tjenesteutøvelsen av kulturelt mangfold? Kan nye arbeidsmåter bidra til å styrke studenters læring i praksisfeltet? Dette er spørsmål som tas opp i denne boken, der utfordringer knyttet til ivaretakelse av samfunnsoppdraget i de kommunale helse-, omsorg- og barneverntjenestene står sentralt. Hensikten er å gi leseren innblikk i tjenesteutøvernes handlingsrom når de søker å benytte sin kompetanse i tjenesteutøvelsen. Boken samler ti vitenskapelige artikler som gjennom nye empiriske studier og teoretiske bidrag belyser handlingsrommet for tjenesteutøvelse av profesjonalisert velferd i kommunal helse- og omsorgstjeneste og kommunalt barnevern. Begge tjenestene skal imøtekomme offentlige myndigheters føringer i et stadig mer komplekst praksisfelt, og de belyses derfor i samme antologi. Handlingsrom for profesjonalisert velferd er primært rettet mot studenter i sykepleie, barnevern og vernepleie, men kan også være aktuell for andre studenter innenfor helse- og omsorgsarbeid. Ansatte i kommunal helse- og omsorgstjeneste samt kommunalt barnevern og politikere som har innflytelse over utviklingen innenfor helse- og omsorgssektoren, vil også kunne ha nytte av å lese antologien. Redaktører for antologien er Bente Lilljan Lind Kassah, professor i sosiologi ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet i Harstad, Hilde Nordahl-Pedersen, amanuensis ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet i Harstad, og Wivi-Ann Tingvoll, dosent emerita ved UiT Norges Arktiske Universitet i Narvik."

    Description: Tafeln und ähnliche Initiativen sammeln die systematisch anfallenden Lebensmittelüberschüsse der Überflussgesellschaft, um sie wohltätig zu verteilen. Sie fügen sich damit in einen transnationalen Trend, der eine lokale Charity-Initiative innerhalb von vier Jahrzehnten zu einem global vernetzten Phänomen expandieren ließ. Stephan Lorenz zeigt, dass die Flexibilisierung der Überflussgesellschaft sowohl soziale Ausgrenzung und Polarisierung als auch die Übernutzung von Ressourcen verstärkt. Seine empirische Analyse gewährt Einblicke in die Etablierung eines zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements, das weniger ein Beitrag zur Überwindung der Probleme ist als vielmehr ein Symptom ihrer Verfestigung.

    Description: Zu den zentralen Diskussionsthemen und Problemfeldern deutscher Wirtschafts-, Sozial- und Finanzpolitik gehören seit langem Fragen sozialer Sicherung wie auch die Situation und Entwicklung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Zwischen beiden Bereichen bestehen vielfältige Beziehungen, die außerordentlich komplex sind und einer differenzierten, theoretisch und empirisch fundierten Analyse unter Beachtung institutioneller Regelungen bedürfen. Der Ausschuss für Sozialpolitik legt einen zweiten Tagungsband zu diesem Fragenkreis vor. Alle Beiträge beziehen sich auf die deutsche Situation, mehrere basieren auf der Anwendung mikroökonometrischer Verfahren. Behandelt werden Wirkungen einer Subventionierung von Sozialversicherungsbeiträgen wie auch die Evaluation arbeitsmarktpolitischer Maßnahmen. Dabei geht es um methodische Fragen und die Aussagefähigkeit empirischer Ergebnisse. Mit der empirisch noch wenig untersuchten Frage, wie die regionale Verfügbarkeit von Kinderbetreuungseinrichtungen auf das Arbeitsangebot von Müttern mit Kindern im Kindergartenalter wirkt, wird ein Thema aufgegriffen, das in der politischen Diskussion in Deutschland im Vergleich zu Maßnahmen des (monetären) Familienlastenausgleichs zunehmend in den Vordergrund gerückt wird: die Vereinbarkeit von Familien- und Erwerbsarbeit. Die Autoren fragen darüber hinaus: Inwieweit ist die Verteilung des Bruttoarbeitsentgelts im Zeitablauf stabil geblieben? Welche Wechselwirkungen bestehen zwischen Zuwanderung und der umlagefinanzierten gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung? Wie kann z. B. durch rentenpolitische Entscheidungen auf internationale Mobilität von Arbeitskräften reagiert werden? Die Beiträge liefern Einblicke in die anwendungsorientierte Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitikforschung und tragen zu einem besseren Verständnis der komplexen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Arbeitsmarkt und sozialer Sicherung bei.

    Description: Die Autoren dieses Buches, Entwicklungsökonomen und führende Praktiker der Entwicklungspolitik, befassen sich mit grundlegenden und aktuellen Problemen der Armut in Entwicklungsländern. Zwanzig Prozent der Weltbevölkerung lebt heute in absoluter Armut und davon ein großer Anteil weit unterhalb der Armutsschwelle. Die Autoren behandeln Ausmaß, Entwicklung, Ursachen und Wirkungen der Armut in Entwicklungsländern. Sie befassen sich außerdem mit der Rolle der Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik, insbesondere aber auch der internationalen Entwicklungspolitik bei der Bekämpfung der Armut. Armut bedeutet nicht nur niedriges Einkommen, sondern auch geringen Bildungsstand, wenig Möglichkeiten zur Kommunikation, soziale Deklassierung, häufige Erkrankung und kurze Lebenserwartung. Wegen der Vielschichtigkeit von Armut ist es schwierig, ihr Ausmaß genau zu bestimmen. Die im Buch dargestellten Meßkonzepte reichen von dem wenig aussagefähigen und sogar irreführenden "headcount" bis zu komplexen Indikatoren mit hohem Informationsgehalt für Öffentlichkeit und armutsbekämpfende Behörden. Wie immer Armut begrifflich gefaßt wird, es scheint, wie aus dem umfangreichen empirischen Material des Buches hervorgeht, sicher zu sein, daß sie in den letzten zwanzig Jahren zugenommen hat. Verschärfte Armut tritt auch in Entwicklungsländern mit befriedigendem Wirtschaftswachstum auf. Armut ist nicht in erster Linie auf niedrige Produktivität zurückzuführen, sondern wie von den Autoren gezeigt wird, auf ein Bündel von Faktoren, die Einkommensmöglichkeiten und Partizipation an staatlichen Leistungen im allgemeinen und öffentlichen Gütern im besonderen unter Mindestschranken drücken. Wenn Armut auch bei relativ hohem Pro-Kopf-Einkommen auftreten kann, bedeutet dies nicht, daß wirtschaftspolitische Maßnahmen für die Bekämpfung der Armut ungeeignet seien. Armutsbekämpfung kann sich sowohl wirtschafts- und ordnungspolitischer Mittel bedienen als auch direkter Transferleistungen. Auch die Wirtschaftspolitik der Industriestaaten kann zur Armutsbekämpfung beitragen, indem sie ihren Protektionismus gegenüber Importen aus Entwicklungsländern reduziert und abrupte Veränderungen der Finanz- und Geldpolitik vermeiden hilft, die in Entwicklungsländern deutlich erkennbare Auswirkungen auf die Armutsgruppen zur Folge gehabt haben. Aber auch Entwicklungshilfe kann einen Beitrag leisten, sei es direkt, sei es indirekt, indem Mittelabflüsse an Eigenanstrengungen der Empfängerländer bei der Armutsbekämpfung geknüpft werden.

    Description: In diesem Buch verbindet Caroline Schmitt die Debatten um Inklusion, Fluchtmigration und Soziale Arbeit und entwirft Überlegungen für ein gesamtgesellschaftliches Inklusionsprogramm. Sie konturiert ein heterogenitätstheoretisches, machtkritisches und relationales Inklusionsverständnis und erprobt diesen Zugang in empirischen Analysen. Dieser Zugang lässt sich nicht auf eine verkürzte Betrachtung von Fluchtmigration ein. Er entfaltet ein kritisch-reflexives Forschungs- und Handlungsfeld, das mit der Normalität menschlicher Bewegungen umgeht, ohne erfahrenes Leid und soziale Ungleichheiten zu bagatellisieren – auf dem Weg zu einer inklusiven, solidarischen, konvivialen Gesellschaft.

    Description: With globalisation on the rise and capitalism expanding, social responsibility, corporate as well as individual social responsibility, plays an important part to save the natural environment and improve the lives of citizens. But how responsibly do corporations and ordinary citizens act in order to meet the demands of our fast-changing world? Authors from different universities contribute their knowledge on this open-access platform to be shared at a global level. This book starts off by contemplating whether the concept of world society could be an ice-breaker for a global shift in sociology (Wittmann); it critically assesses social responsibility of Spanish university students (Ramos), discusses professional social responsibility in engineering (Bielefeldt), looks at conflicts in Kenya's mining industry (Abuya) and evaluates the public healthcare system in Italy (Comite) and the corporate and consumer social responsibility in the Italian food industry (Boccia & Covino). The book also includes guidelines for managers who want to enter the corporate world (Gorondutse & Hilman) and ends with a chapter examining Chinese consumers' attitudes towards counterfeit goods (Kozar & Huang). The collective contributions of these experts provide updates regarding ongoing research and developments in relation to the urgent need for improved social responsibility.

    Description: Governments of both right and left have been introducing market logics and instruments into Australian social services in recent decades. Their stated goals include reducing costs, increasing service diversity and, in some sectors, empowering consumers. This collection presents a set of original case studies of marketisation in social services as diverse as family day care, refugee settlement, employment services in remote communities, disability support, residential aged care, housing and retirement incomes. Contributors examine how governments have designed these markets, how they work, and their outcomes, with a focus on how risks and benefits are distributed between governments, providers and service users. Their analyses show that inefficiency, low‑quality services and inequitable access are typical problems. Avoiding simplistic explanations that attribute these problems to either a few 'bad apple' service providers or an amorphous neoliberalism that is the sum of all negative developments in recent years, the collection demonstrates the diversity of market models and examines how specific market designs make social service provision susceptible to particular problems. The evidence presented in this collection suggests that Australian governments’ market-making policies have produced fragile and fragmented service systems, in which the risks of rent-seeking, resource leakage and regulatory capture are high. Yet the design of social service markets and their implementation are largely under political control. Consequently, if governments choose to work with market instruments, they need to do so differently, working with principles and practices that drive up both quality and equality.

    Description: Representative research on crime rates and their trends in Germany is sparse. A major research focus at the Criminology Research Institute in Lower Saxony, which is where all the papers compiled in this volume come from, is on victimisation. In recent years, research here was carried out on risk factors of victimisation, on vicitimsation of different population groups and on the consequences of victimisation. All the papers in this book centre on the presentation of findings from empirical research projects. These include both large-scale standardised surveys and qualitative interview studies with small numbers of interviewees.

    Description: Zahl und Vielfalt der ökonomischen Probleme des Hochschulsektors haben in den letzten Jahren - nicht zuletzt aufgrund knapper werdender Ressourcen - deutlich zugenommen. Dies war Anlass für den Bildungsökonomischen Ausschuss, sich auf seiner 27. Jahrestagung, die im März 2002 an der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität in Jena stattfand, mit hochschulökonomischen Fragen zu beschäftigen. Die Beiträge dieser Tagung sind im vorliegenden Band zusammengestellt. Die Aufsätze sind zum einen hochschulinternen organisatorischen, personalpolitischen oder produktionstheoretischen Problemen gewidmet, zum anderen werden die makroökonomischen Konsequenzen alternativer Finanzierungssysteme eines gesamten Hochschulsystems betrachtet. Dabei werden nicht nur theoretische Überlegungen vorgestellt, sondern auch umfassende empirische Studien, die die Bedeutung der dargestellten hochschulökonomischen Probleme und Lösungsansätze deutlich unterstreichen.

    Description: Chapter 4 and chapter 7 are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Two decades have passed since the devolution of social care policy, with key differences emerging between the UK’s four systems, but what impact have these differences had? This book presents for the first time research on the perspectives of social care policy makers on the four systems in which they operate and the ways in which they borrow from one another. Drawing on extensive interviews with national and local policy makers across the UK, the book raises vital questions about the role of ‘standardisation’ and ‘differentiation’ in social care, concluding that when given equal capacity to reform their respective systems, the regimes in each nation may take radically different shapes.

    Description: The need for care and welfare services puts elderly and persons with intellectual disabilities, chronic conditions and dementia in vulnerable situations. How are they recognized as citizens with rights and duties? In this book, the challenges and resources for persons in vulnerable life situations are made visible through a relational and rightsbased perspective of citizenship. The chapters are based on the authors’ studies of lived citizenship in different contexts within professional health and welfare practices and the everyday life of citizens in vulnerable life situations in Norway. This edited book is the result of contributions from the interdisciplinary research group ‘Citizenship’, hosted at the Faculty of Health Studies at VID Specialized University. The aim of the research group is exploring and enhancing citizenship through theoretical as well as empirical studies. The book brings contributions to scholars and researchers in the broad field of interdisciplinary disability and citizenship studies, as well as graduate students.

    Description: Den Humanressourcen einer Volkswirtschaft kommt im globalen Wettbewerb und mit stetig schnelleren Innovationszyklen eine immer größere Bedeutung im Hinblick auf die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Nationen und Unternehmen zu. Nationale Bildungseinrichtungen stellen einen wichtigen Faktor zur Schaffung und Erhaltung des erforderlichen Humankapitals dar. Aufgrund der seit vielen Jahren schwierigen öffentlichen Haushaltslage haben die Bildungsbudgets mit den gestiegenen Anforderungen aber kaum Schritt halten können, so dass einer effizienten Verwendung der eingesetzten Mittel eine immer stärkere Beachtung zukommt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Evaluation von Bildungseinrichtungen allgemein und von Schulen und Hochschulen im Besonderen immer wichtiger. Spätestens seit den ersten Ergebnissen der PISA-Studie ist aber auch die Erfordernis von wissenschaftlich untermauerten und ökonometrisch zuverlässigen Evaluationen unübersehbar, damit nicht aus deskriptiven Befunden gezogene vorschnelle Schlussfolgerungen mehr Schaden als Nutzen anrichten. Deshalb hat der bildungsökonomische Ausschuss des Vereins für Socialpolitik sich auf seiner 28. Sitzung der Evaluation von Schulen und Hochschulen aus ökonomischer Perspektive angenommen. Die Beiträge basieren auf Vorträgen der Jahrestagung 2003, die auf Einladung von Prof. Dr. Andrea Schenker-Wicki (organisatorische Vorbereitung) und Prof. Dr. Uschi Backes-Gellner (inhaltliche Vorbereitung) am 27./28.03.2003 an der Universität Zürich stattfand. Alle Texte wurden - wie in den vorhergehenden Jahren auch - einer doppelten Begutachtung und entsprechenden Revisionen unterzogen. Während sich die ersten drei Beiträge auf die Evaluation von Schulleistungen konzentrieren, beschäftigen sich die letzten drei mit der Messung von Lehr- und Forschungsleistungen von Universitäten. Dabei widmen sich die Autoren nicht nur Fragen der Messung von Schul- und Hochschulleistungen, sondern auch den organisatorischen und sozioökonomischen Einflussfaktoren variierender Bildungsleistungen. Außerdem werden die makroökonomischen Konsequenzen variierender Bildungsqualität - insbesondere auch im Vergleich zu rein schüler- oder schuljahresbezogenen Indikatoren - erstmals detailliert empirisch analysiert.

    Description: "The book discusses various challenges and solutions related to the coordination of health and welfare services. Coordination is central to creating integrated services for users with complex needs. In order to understand the challenges and opportunities associated with creating such services, one needs knowledge related to organizations and the organizational context. The book's chapters takes on an organizational perspective where patterns and explanations are sought in formal and informal structures, processes and culture. The users’ need for services often cross established boundaries, both organizational and professional. The authors highlight the possibilities and limitations of some selected solutions that will help to cut across or break down such boundaries. Examples of such solutions are user involvement, interdisciplinary collaboration, team organizations, coordinators, standardization and patient pathways, digitization and decision-making tools for employees who work in the services. One chapter summarizes three different theoretical research approaches for analyzing coordination and collaboration. The target group is researchers, university and college employees and students of the health and welfare sector. The book also will be of interest for user organizations as well as administrative and professional decision-makers in public and private businesses."
    Description: I denne boka drøfter forfatterne ulike utfordringer og løsninger knyttet til samordning av helse- og velferdstjenestene. Samordning er sentralt for å skape et helhetlig helse- og velferdstilbud til både eldre og yngre brukere med komplekse behov. For å forstå hvilke utfordringer og muligheter som finnes, trenger man kunnskap om organisasjon og organisatorisk kontekst. Boken inntar et organisasjonsperspektiv hvor mønstre og forklaringer søkes i formelle og uformelle strukturer, prosesser og organisasjonskulturer. Brukernes behov for tjenester går ofte på tvers av organisasjoners og profesjoners etablerte grenser. Forfatterne belyser muligheter og begrensninger ved noen utvalgte løsninger som skal bidra til å overskride eller bryte ned slike grenser. Eksempler på slike løsninger er brukermedvirkning, tverrfaglig samarbeid, teamorganisering, koordinator, standardisering og behandlingslinjer, digitalisering samt beslutningsverktøy for tidlig innsats blant barn og unge (BTI). Et bidrag sammenfatter ulike forskningstilnærminger for å analysere samordning og samarbeid. Målgruppen for boken er forskere, universitets- og høyskoleansatte, studenter og ansatte, særlig innenfor helse- og velferdssektoren. Den kan også være interessant og nyttig for brukerorganisasjoner og faglige og administrative beslutningstakere i offentlig og privat virksomhet.

    Description: Social and the ecological welfare should be taken as the main aim of all politics. This is the message of this book titled The Enchantment of Social Policy. Basic social security system needs to be rebuilt and grounded on the universal basic income that everyone can top up by participating to the society in different ways. Universal basic income can be seen as a mean to recognize all valuable participation to for example voluntary work or care of elderly people. In conditions of high unemployment, this kind of universalistic social security would weaken the nexus between employment and welfare. It would promote a society and culture that is less dependent on the exploitation of natural resources. This book describes building blocks that are needed to reconstitute the enchantment of social policy – the utopian that we should collectively pursue.
    Description: Sosiaalipolitiikan Lumon kirjoittajilla on viesti. Mielestämme politiikan keskeiseksi tavoitteeksi tulisi asettaa sosiaalinen ja ekologinen hyvinvointi. Tätä tavoitetta kohti tulisi kulkea universalismin periaattein ja kansalaisten perusturva, oli sitten kyse työllisistä tai työttömistä, nuorista tai iäkkäistä, kantaväestöstä tai maahanmuuttajista, tulisi rakentaa kaikille yhtäläisen perustulon pohjalle. Tätä perusturvaa jokainen voisi täydentää ansiotuloilla ja omaehtoisella, sosiaaliturvassa kompensoitavalla osallistumisella yhteiskunnalliseen työhön kuten vapaaehtoistyöhön, harrastusryhmien ohjaamiseen, omaisen tai lasten hoivaan. Tämä antaisi arvon monenlaiselle hyödylliselle toimelle, joka nyt jää yhteiskunnassa tunnistamatta. Tällainen sosiaaliturva ottaisi lähtökohdakseen uuden ihmisarvon ja loisi luonnonvaroja säilyttävää ja niukkaan materian käyttöön perustuvaa kulttuuria ja taloutta. Sosiaalipolitiikalla olisi tällaisessa politiikassa aktiivinen ja yhteiskunnan taloudellista ja sosiaalista kehitystä vauhdittava rooli, ja kansalaiset olisi kutsuttu hyvinvoinnin aktiivisiksi tekijöiksi.

    Description: The book presents a study about synergies between urban regeneration and welfare policies, created in an important municipality of Trentino (Italy), to answer the social challenges of the territory. The text reviews the literature on regeneration, welfare, and youth policies and presents the survey techniques used for the study of the Smart Lab youth center in Rovereto. It addresses the issue of culture as a vehicle for innovation that leads to social and economic results that are difficult to recognize, even for the direct users. The research helped to encapsulate this development action and to construct a definition of the center by the users themselves.

    Description: Das Thema Bildung und Wirtschaftswachstum hat Tradition. Während in den sechziger Jahren die Impulse direkt aus der Wachstumstheorie kamen, sind es heute zahlreiche Teilströmungen der Bildungsökonomie, die die Klammer zwischen Humanressourcen und Produktivitätswachstum neu beleben. Die in diesem Band zusammengefaßten Beiträge, die im Bildungsökonomischen Ausschuß 1996 in Mannheim präsentiert wurden, unternehmen den Versuch, das bisweilen etwas eklektische Wechselspiel zwischen Bildung und Wirtschaftswachstum durch einige institutionelle, empirische und theoretische Mosaiksteine weiterzuentwickeln. Der Band beginnt mit einem Übersichtsartikel von H.-J. Bodenhöfer und M. Riedel. Die Autoren arbeiten nicht nur die sich im Zeitablauf wandelnde theoretische Einschätzung der Bedeutung des Faktors Bildung für gesamtwirtschaftliche Zusammenhänge heraus, sondern sie stellen die Theorieentwicklung auch in einen direkten Kontext zur empirischen Wirtschaftsforschung. Die im Eröffnungsbeitrag aufgeworfene Frage nach einer möglichen internationalen Konvergenz der Wachstumsraten wird von A. A. Weber aufgegriffen und einer empirischen Prüfung unterzogen. Der Autor kommt zu dem Schluß, daß die vorhandene empirische Evidenz zur Untermauerung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Bildungsniveau und Wirtschaftswachstum nicht sehr robust ist. W. Pfähler, C. Clermont und U. Hofmann verlassen die bisherige Vogelperspektive und präsentieren eine konkrete Fallstudie. Ihren Ergebnissen zufolge übt das Humankapital keinen signifikanten Produktivitätseinfluß aus: Die anhand der durchschnittlichen Hochschulausgaben je Student gemessene Qualität der Hochschulausbildung stehe in keiner Beziehung zur Arbeitsproduktivität. T. Gries, S. Jungblut und H. Meyer gehen in einer theoretischen Untersuchung der Frage nach, ob es einen bildungsökonomisch begründeten Zusammenhang zwischen Produktivitätswachstum und Unterbeschäftigung gibt. Aus einer differenzierten Beantwortung dieser Frage leiten die Autoren wichtige Aufgabenfelder für die Bildungspolitik ab und diskutieren mögliche Effekte einer berufsbegleitenden Fortbildung. B. U. Wigger und R. K. von Weizsäcker skizzieren in ihrer theoretischen Studie ein öffentliches Bildungsprogramm, das insbesondere dem Unsicherheitsaspekt privater Ausbildungsinvestitionen Rechnung trägt. Sie entwickeln ein Argument für Studiengebühren, das sich am erwarteten Erfolg der Ausbildung orientiert. Die Berücksichtigung von Unsicherheit erlaubt es, einen Zusammenhang zwischen der individuellen Ausbildungswahl, der volkswirtschaftlichen Ressourcenausstattung und dem Produktivitätswachstum herzustellen.

    Description: This book focuses on the significance of family in child welfare (CW) services from multidisciplinary perspectives. The authors are concerned with how families experience encounters with CW workers, how professional CW work with families is guided by rules and principles, and how social structures and ideologies influence CW work. Taken together, the chapters contribute to a comprehensive understanding of how CW workers should understand the importance of family for children. The book is important for everyone who works with the welfare of children and their families, and for those who educate CW workers. Although the context for many of the discussions in the book is Norwegian CW work, the topics are general, recognisable and relevant to similar discussions in other countries. The book is intended for CW workers, policymakers, researchers, and teachers and students in social work and child welfare study programmes.

    Description: Der vorliegende Band enthält die auf der Jahrestagung 1997 des Ausschusses für Sozialpolitik gehaltenen Referate. Hans Jürgen Rösner behandelt Struktur- und Organisationsprinzipien sozialer Sicherung. Als Funktionen, die ein neues Paradigma zu erfüllen haben, werden Integration, Konsensförderung, Risikoabsicherung, Produktivitätsförderung und Überlebensfähigkeit des Sicherungssystems herausgearbeitet. Roland Eisen befaßt sich mit Alternativen der Pflegesicherung. Es werden die Modelle der privaten freiwilligen Versicherung, der privaten Pflichtversicherung, der staatlichen Sozialversicherung und der Sozialhilfe diskutiert. Darüber hinaus ordnet der Autor ihnen die in 12 Mitgliedsländern der Europäischen Union gewählten Lösungen zu. Ein vertiefter Vergleich des deutschen, englischen und dänischen Systems schließt sich an. Johannes Schwarze betrachtet das amerikanische und das deutsche Alterssicherungssystem im Hinblick auf Sicherungsniveau, Altersarmut und Einkommensverteilung. Der institutionelle Vergleich zeigt, daß das amerikanische Alterssicherungssystem stark auf die Vermeidung von Altersarmut ausgerichtet ist, während das deutsche System über einen breiten Einkommensbereich auf Lebensstandardsicherung zielt. Beim empirischen Vergleich der Einkommenssituation der älteren Bevölkerung ergibt sich jedoch, daß das deutsche System sowohl das Ziel der Armutsvermeidung als auch das Ziel der Lebensstandardsicherung im Alter besser erfüllt. Richard Hauser analysiert Konzeptionen der Mindestsicherung für Alte in zwölf EU-Mitgliedsländern. Auf Basis einer Systematisierung der in den Ländern vorhandenen Regelungen werden institutionell begründete Hypothesen über ihre Wirksamkeit formuliert. Die empirische Analyse anhand von Daten des Luxembourg Income Study Projekts zeigt allerdings, daß in allen Ländern trotz der verschiedenartigen Mindestregelungen Armut im Alter auftritt.

    Description: Mit zunehmender Globalisierung und beschleunigtem technologischem Wandel kommt den sogenannten Humanressourcen eine immer größere Bedeutung für die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit eines Landes und seiner Unternehmen zu. Dabei hängt die Qualität der Humanressourcen einerseits von staatlichen Bildungsinvestitionen und den darauf aufbauenden individuellen Bildungsanstrengungen ab, andererseits aber auch von betrieblichen Bildungsentscheidungen, die wiederum weitgehend durch die institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen nationaler Bildungssysteme geprägt sind. Dem Spannungsfeld zwischen betrieblichen Bildungsentscheidungen, die einzelwirtschaftlichen Rentabilitätskalkülen unterworfen sind, sowie nationalen Bildungsinstitutionen, die gesamtwirtschaftichen oder individuellen Rationalitätskriterien genügen müssen, widmen sich die Autoren des vorliegenden Sammelbands. Die Beiträge basieren auf Vorträgen der Jubiläumstagung "Bildungssystem und betriebliche Beschäftigungsstrategien", die anlässlich des 25-jährigen Bestehens des Bildungsökonomischen Ausschusses des Vereins für Socialpolitik im März 2000 an der Universität zu Köln stattfand. Ein einleitender Rückblick auf das Forschungsprogramm und die Ergebnisse der 25-jährigen bildungsökonomischen Ausschussarbeit dokumentieren zudem die enge Verbindung zwischen aktuell diskutierten Problemen und bisheriger bildungsökonomischer Forschung.

    Description: SARS (Acute Respiratory Syndrome) first presented itself to the global medical community as a case of atypical pneumonia in one small Chinese village in November 2002. Three months later the mysterious illness rapidly spread and appeared in Vietnam, Hong Kong, Toronto and then Singapore. The high fatality rate and sheer speed at which this disease spread prompted the World Health Organization to initiate a medieval practice of quarantine in the absence of any scientific knowledge of the disease. Now three years on from the initital outbreak, SARS poses no major threat and has vanished from the global media. Written by a team of contributors from a wide variety of disciplines, this book investigates the rise and subsequent decline of SARS in Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan. Multidisciplinary in its approach, SARS explores the epidemic from the perspectives of cultural geography, media studies and popular culture, and raises a number of important issues such as the political fate of the new democracy, spatial governance and spatial security, public health policy making, public culture formation, the role the media play in social crisis, and above all the special relations between the three countries in the context of globalization and crisis. It provides new and profound insights into what is still a highly topical issue in today’s world.

    Description: There are multiple reasons why a group of people takes on the task of writing a book. In our case, "Living in troubled times: from socio-critical reflections to proposals for social intervention", which is the first book produced by the Research Center on Professions in Contemporary Societies, of the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso, responds to a double interest. On the one hand, in the politically turbulent times that run in Chile and Latin America, we want to be participants in the construction of the subjectivities with which we will face the future sociocultural and political framework. In such a scenario we are interested in problematizing the crossroads, opportunities, interspaces, challenges, limits, and the borders or cracks of social intervention, from different multidimensional and interdisciplinary points of view. On the other hand, with a writing committed to socio-critical thoughts, we want to give a voice to the experiences, achievements and concerns that professionals of direct social intervention, or face to face, have related to us through various instances. His courage to challenge life in troubled times has inspired us to set as a goal, in the writing of each of the chapters, the development of proposals related to social intervention and professional training in social sciences, and in particular in Social Work .

    Description: """Guiden till Spaniensverige"" (The Guide to Spanish-Sweden) is an ethnographic account on the mobilisation of a social community of Swedish migrants who otherwise belongs to the diverse networks of lifestyle migrants or resident tourists in Southern Spain. The book is based on interviews with people who are engaged in Scandinavian associations/clubs or in other ways involved in practices which are associated with a Swedish community in Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol, which are two main destinations for lifestyle migrants in Spain. In addition the analysis is based on the discursive material that the social clubs, and to some extent other organisations and networks, are using in the service to their members. The book demonstrates how the practices of the large Scandinavian social clubs, but also other organisations like the Swedish church and some of the business associations, are operating at the locus of an ethnic and transnationalised form of community-making. The offering of a home-like social arena with social and cultural activities are privileging the Swedish language and the Swedish origin. This study concludes that the social practices employed by the clubs are guiding potential members to a social space in which preferably ‘senior’ Swedish migrants meet, socialise, and, to some extent, also consume in ‘Swedish’. The book argues that the practices of the social clubs reveal the contours and infrastructure of a lifestyle diaspora in which a comfortable life in Spain – but in Swedish and with maintained relations with the Swedish society – is accentuated and given priority."

    Description: Child safeguarding has come to the forefront of public debate in the UK in the aftermath of a series of highly publicised incidents of child sexual exploitation and abuse. These have exposed the inadequacies and failings of inter-organisational relations between police and key partners. While the discourse of policing partnerships is now accepted wisdom, progress has been distinctly hesitant. This paper contributes to understanding both the challenges and opportunities presented through working across organisational boundaries in the context of safeguarding children. It draws on a study of relations within one of the largest Safeguarding Children partnerships in England, developing insights from Etienne Wenger regarding the potential of ‘communities of practice’ that innovate on the basis of everyday learning through ‘boundary work’. We demonstrate how such networked approaches expose the differential power relations and sites of conflict between organisations but also provide possibilities to challenge introspective cultures and foster organisational learning. We argue that crucial in cultivating effective ‘communities of practice’ are: shared commitment and purpose; relations of trust; balanced exchange of information and resources; mutual respect for difference; and an open and mature dialogue over possible conflicts. Boundary crossing can open opportunities to foster increased reflexivity among policing professionals, prompting critical self-reflection on values, ongoing reassessment of assumptions and questioning of terminology. Yet, there is an inherent tension in that the learning and innovative potential afforded by emergent ‘communities of practice’ derives from the coexistence and interplay between both the depth of knowledge within practices and active boundaries across practices.

    Description: In an age of government imposed austerity, and after 30 years of neoliberal restructuring, the future of the welfare state looks increasingly uncertain. Asbjorn Wahl offers an accessible analysis of the situation across Europe, identifies the most important challenges and presents practical proposals for combating the assault on welfare. Wahl argues that the welfare state should be seen as the result of a class compromise forged in the 20th century, which means that it cannot easily be exported internationally. He considers the enormous shifts in power relations and the profound internal changes to the welfare state which have occurred during the neoliberal era, pointing to the paradigm shift that the welfare state is going through. This is illustrated by the shift from welfare to workfare and increased top down control. As well as being a fascinating study in its own right that will appeal to students of economics and politics, The Rise and Fall of the Welfare State also points to an alternative way forward for the trade union movement based on concrete examples of struggles and alliance-building.

    Description: "Employers and insurances in Switzerland have introduced new instruments to support the return to work process of sick workers. A key instrument in this regard has been the introduction of case managers in companies. But what are the consequences of these measures on the “selves” of the supported employees? The grounded theory study answers this question based on 16 interviews with employees who have successfully returned to work after serious sickness or accident. The results show that employees are reluctant to accept case management support. Establishing a sustainable relationship between case management and supported employees takes time, but eventually is successful due to a moral division of labour (Hughes) within the companies. The disability insurance is viewed as a potential danger to one’s self, because the insurance is associated with labels such as disability, dependency or fraud. In the return to work process, primary and secondary adjustments (Goffman) to organisational expectations play an essential role. Employees must demonstrate a strong will to return to work and they feel compelled to accept all adaptations made by the company in order to keep the job. However, these primary adjustments lead to cognitive dissonance among the affected individuals. Secondary adjustments, such as reduced identification with the job or the employer, allow to reduce these tensions. "

    Description: Der Finanzwissenschaftliche Ausschuss des Vereins für Socialpolitik hat in seiner Arbeitstagung 2001 die finanzpolitischen Ansatzpunkte zur Behebung von Arbeitsmarktproblemen diskutiert. Der Tagungsband enthält die drei Grundsatzreferate von Axel Börsch-Supan (Universität Mannheim), Christian Keuschnigg (Universität St. Gallen) und Bernd Raffelhüschen (Universität Freiburg). Axel Börsch-Supan weist darauf hin, dass die Bevölkerungsalterung neben der viel diskutierten Finanzlücke in der gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung in zwei weiteren Politikbereichen Handlungsbedarf einfordert. Da die bloße Erhöhung der Kapitalintensität nicht ausreichen wird, um die Arbeitsproduktivität so weit zu steigern, dass negative Auswirkungen der Alterung auf das Bruttoinlandsprodukt kompensiert werden können, muss die Akkumulation von Humankapital durch Aus- und Weiterbindung verstärkt werden. Außerdem wird die veränderte Altersstruktur auf die Zusammensetzung der aggregierten Güternachfrage durchschlagen und eine deutlich höhere sektorale Faktormobilität verlangen, um sektorale Beschäftigungskrisen zu vermeiden. Christian Keuschnigg erklärt in einem intertemporalen Gleichgewichtsmodell das Auftreten von Kreditrationierung und Arbeitslosigkeit als Folge von Suchfriktionen auf Kapital- und Arbeitsmärkten. Finanzpolitische Maßnahmen zur Förderung von Unternehmensgründungen stellen sich dabei als ein wirksames Instrument zur Bekämpfung von Arbeitslosigkeit heraus. Bernd Raffelhüschen weist darauf hin, dass die sozialpolitische Reformagenda zur Renten- und Krankenversicherung erweitert werden muss, weil auch die Grundsicherung durch Sozialhilfe, Wohngeld, Arbeitslosenhilfe und Pflegegeld reformbedürftig ist. Er entwickelt eine Blaupause für eine Grundsicherungsreform, die auf zwei Kerngedanken basiert: subsidiäre Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe und Subvention von Beschäftigung anstatt Untätigkeit. Verwandte Reformkonzepte im internationalen Vergleich und bestehende Anknüpfungspunkte im deutschen Sozialrechtssystem stimmen Raffelhüschen optimistisch, dass sein Reformvorschlag nicht nur ökonomisch attraktiv, sondern auch juristisch umsetzbar und politisch mehrheitsfähig ist.

    Description: This monograph focuses on the level of management culture development in organizations attempting to disclose it not only with the help of theoretical insights but also by the approach based on employees and managers. Why was the term "management culture" that is rarely found in literature selected for the analysis? We are quite often faced with problems of terminology. Especially, it often happens in the translation from one language to another. While preparing this monograph, the authors had a number of questions on how to decouple the management culture from organization's culture and from organizational culture, how to separate management culture from managerial culture, etc. However, having analysed a variety of scientific research, it appeared that there is no need to break down the mentioned cultures because they still overlap. Therefore, it is impossible to completely separate the management culture from the formal or informal part of organizational culture. Management culture inevitably exists in every organization, only its level of development may vary.

    Description: Vold i nære relasjoner er i dag anerkjent som et alvorlig samfunnsproblem, 40 år etter at kvinnemishandling ble satt på dagsordenen. I årene som har gått, har det skjedd mye, både når det gjelder hvordan vi forstår volden, og når det gjelder hvordan vi forstår samfunnets håndtering av volden. Derfor er bokens røde tråd at vold i nære relasjoner må ses som et felt i bevegelse: Nye former for overgrep i familien er avdekket, nye perspektiver er kommet til, og man har tatt i bruk flere begreper for å betegne volden. I kjølvannet av et mer pluralistisk voldsbilde er mange nye tiltak satt i verk. Ulike internasjonale konvensjoner forplikter også Norge til å iverksette tiltak for å forebygge og bekjempe vold i nære relasjoner. Denne boken presenterer ny, forskningsbasert kunnskap om vold i nære relasjoner og belyser spørsmål som: – Er vold i nære relasjoner fortsatt et likestillingsproblem? – Hva er seksuell vold i parforhold? – Hvilke særlige utfordringer har eldre voldsutsatte? – Hva hindrer voldsutsatte med funksjonsnedsettelse i å søke hjelp? – Har holdningskampanjer mot vold i nære relasjoner noe for seg? – Er frivillige organisasjoner fortsatt vaktbikkjer i bekjempelsen av vold i nære relasjoner? – Hvordan kan man beskytte barn mot vold i foreldretvister? – Fungerer besøksforbud for voldsutøvere etter sin hensikt? – Ønsker voldsutsatte at overgriperen blir straffet? – Hvordan påvirker migrasjon forståelser av kjønnslemlestelse? Bidragsyterne er forskere tilknyttet voldsprogrammet ved NOVA/OsloMet og NKVTS. Redaktørene er Kristin Skjørten, Elisiv Bakketeig, Margunn Bjørnholt og Svein Mossige.

Die Beiträger*innen zeigen Perspektiven auf, wie die Grundsicherung weitergedacht werden kann: Das bedeutet, bisherige Grundsicherungsleistungen zu analysieren, zu kritisieren und fortzuentwickeln, auch über den Rahmen des Sozialgesetzbuches hinaus - zu einer erweiterten Grundsicherung für das 21. Jahrhundert. Diskutiert wird dabei, welche Infrastrukturen und Angebote über Einkommenstransfers hinaus für eine Grundversorgung der Bevölkerung und eine inklusive Gesellschaft notwendig sind. Zugleich nimmt der Band die Grundsicherung auf europäischer Ebene in den Blick.

    Description: Der vorliegende Band präsentiert in überarbeiteter Form die Referate, die auf der Jahrestagung 1996 des Ausschusses für Sozialpolitik in Ingolstadt vorgetragen wurden. In einem ersten grundlegenden Beitrag beschäftigt sich Gert Wagner mit "Zentralen Aufgaben beim Um- und Ausbau des Sozialstaats". Er entwickelt seine Vorstellungen auf der Basis des von Rawls konstruierten Paradigmas, bei dem sich vernünftige, risikoaverse Individuen über grundlegende Verfassungsentscheidungen und Direktiven für ein System der sozialen Sicherung hinter dem "Schleier des Nichtwissens" einigen. Frank Schulz-Nieswandt befaßt sich mit einigen Reformperspektiven des bundesdeutschen Sozialstaates. Er nimmt dabei für den Bereich der Pflege, insbesondere der Altenpflege, eine Gegenposition zu Wagner ein. Ein Schwerpunkt der Ausführungen liegt bei der Diskussion der vielfältigen nationalen und internationalen Befunde über das Pflegebedürftigkeitsrisiko sehr alter Menschen. An der aktuellen Debatte über die Flexibilisierung der Arbeitsmarktordnung und die Umgestaltung der Arbeitsförderung beteiligt sich Joachim Genosko mit seinem Beitrag über das Arbeitsförderungs-Reformgesetz (AFRG). Im Vordergrund steht dabei die Analyse der im Regierungsentwurf dieses Gesetzes vom 12. 6. 1996 enthaltenen arbeitsmarktpolitischen Maßnahmen, die zwischenzeitlich in kaum veränderter Form Gesetz geworden sind. Als Resümee ergibt sich, daß allenfalls von einer marginalen Revitalisierung der Arbeitsmarktpolitik durch das AFRG gesprochen werden kann. Heinz-Dieter Hardes befaßt sich mit Problemen der Alterssicherung, wobei er an Reformvorschlägen der Weltbank für ein Mehr-Säulen-System (öffentliches, steuerfinanziertes Grundrentensystem, Pflichtzusatzsystem mit fixierten Sparbeiträgen und individueller Anlage bei konkurrierenden privaten Kapitalfonds; freiwillige private Vorsorge durch Sparen mit beliebiger Anlage) in der 1994 veröffentlichten Studie "Averting the Old-Age Crisis" anknüpft. Der Verfasser plädiert für eine stärkere Diversifikation der Bausteine des deutschen Alterssicherungssystems und für eine Erhöhung des Anteils der "contribution defined systems". Wer sich für Reformüberlegungen aus der Sicht der Sozialpolitiklehre interessiert, wird in diesem Band viele Anregungen finden.

    Description: Der Band faßt Referate einer Sitzung des Bildungsökonomischen Ausschusses im Herbst 1993 in Liberec (Tschechien) zusammen. Die Beiträge spüren der Frage nach, auf welche Weise das aus der DDR ererbte Humankapital dem notwendigen Umstrukturierungsprozeß der ostdeutschen Wirtschaft angepaßt wurde und welche Bedeutung das modernisierte Humankapital für den Transformationsprozeß hat. H. Maier führt das Scheitern der Planwirtschaft der DDR vorrangig auf deren Innovationsschwäche zurück und damit auf die Unfähigkeit, den im Vergleich zur Bundesrepublik relativ gleich hohen Forschungsinput in innovationsrelevante Produkte, Verfahren und Dienstleistungen zu transformieren. Unter Verweis auf einen neuen Langfristzyklus, der durch die Mikroelektronik angestoßen worden sei und grundlegend veränderte Qualifikationsprofile verlange, plädiert Maier für einen humankapitalintensiven Entwicklungspfad in Gesamtdeutschland. Th. Schmid-Schönbein analysiert die Reindustrialisierungsprozesse im Bereich der ostdeutschen Großindustrie im Zusammenhang mit dem Treuhandkonzept der Unternehmensnetze bzw. -parks. Er fragt nach den qualifikatorischen Folgen einer solchen Strategie und schlägt die Implementation eines allgemeinen Trainingsprogramms vor, das auf unternehmensinterne Qualifizierung setzt und in den USA über viele Jahre mit Erfolg eingesetzt worden sei. J. Wahse hat Treuhand- und Ex-Treuhandunternehmen nach ihren Qualifizierungspolitiken befragt, die sie im Rahmen der »innerbetrieblichen Transformationsprozesse« verfolgen. Wahse unterscheidet den Entwicklungszustand der Unternehmen nach Grundsanierungs- und Feinprofilierungsphase und folgert aus den Phasen einen je differenten Oualifizierungsbedarf auf Seiten der Belegschaften. Die Befragung der beiden Unternehmensgruppen führt zu dem Ergebnis, daß die bereits privatisierten Unternehmen in erheblich höherer Intensität Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen durchführen als Treuhandfirmen und daß ein deutlich größerer Anteil sich bereits in der Phase der Feinprofilierung befindet. C. Helberger und M. Pannenberg unterziehen die erste Phase einer aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik (Fortbildung und Umschulung) in Ostdeutschland einer systematischen ökonometrischen Evaluation. Evaluationskriterium bildet die individuelle Erwerbsbiographie der Teilnehmer im Anschluß an eine von der Bundesanstalt für Arbeit geförderte Qualifizierungsmaßnahme. Maßgrößen sind dabei die Abgänge in Erwerbstätigkeit und die individuelle Einkommensentwicklung der Teilnehmer/innen. Die Autoren konstatieren eine überraschend hohe Erfolgsquote der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik, zumindest für die frühen 90er Jahre.

    Description: Mit der Wahl des Generalthemas "Die Zukunft des Sozialstaats" hat sich der Vorstand des Vereins für Socialpolitik für die Jahrestagung 1998 in Rostock ein Programm vorgegeben, das nicht nur beziehungsreich für den Verein, sondern auch europaweit von besonderer Aktualität ist. Die Frage nach der Zukunft des Sozialstaats würde sich nicht stellen, wenn keine Krisensymptome diagnostiziert werden könnten. Die Diagnose über das Ausmaß einer möglichen Krise hängt auch von unterschiedlichen Werturteilspositionen über die vom deutschen Sozialstaat zu erreichenden Ziele und der mit der Vorausschauperiode zunehmenden Unsicherheit über die künftige Entwicklung ab. Dennoch sind immer mehr Beobachter in Wissenschaft und Politik davon überzeugt, daß ernsthafte Probleme drohen. Dabei geht es um zweierlei: Zum einen handelt es sich um demographische, ökonomische und gesellschaftliche Trends, die - wenn auch mit Unsicherheit - vorhersehbar sind. Sie werden zu Funktionsstörungen des Systems der sozialen Sicherung führen und nur noch einen unbefriedigenden Zielerreichungsgrad zulassen, weil die vorhandenen Institutionen nicht auf die sich ändernden Rahmenbedingungen ausgerichtet sind und sich ihnen ohne Umgestaltung auch nicht anpassen können. Zum anderen geht es um die grundlegende Akzeptanz der mit einem Sozialstaat verbundenen Solidaritätserfordernisse; denn nur wenn diese Voraussetzung gegeben ist, können soziale Sicherungseinrichtungen ihre zweite Funktion als wesentliches Stabilisierungselement eines demokratischen Staates erfüllen. Dabei sind beide Aspekte eng verknüpft: Eine ungenügende Erreichung der sozialen Schutzziele gefährdet auch die Akzeptanz. In diesem Band werden die auf Einladung gehaltenen Vorträge der Kerntagung zur Zukunft des Sozialstaats publiziert. Außerdem wird der Vortrag des diesjährigen Thünen-Preisträgers, Prof. Dr. Erich W. Streissler, damit der Fachöffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht.

    Description: Sowohl für Sozialabgaben (Renten-, Kranken-, Arbeitslosen- und Pflegeversicherung, sowie die Umlagen U1 und U2, ebenso Unfallversicherung) als auch bei Steuern gelten teilweise andere Regelungen für Selbständige als für Arbeitnehmer. Dieses Buch untersucht, ob sie im Ergebnis zur gleichen Abgabenbelastung führen. Dabei wird berücksichtigt, dass teilweise nicht nur die Abgaben, sondern auch die Leistungen der Sozialversicherungen bei Selbständigen anders sind als bei Arbeitnehmern. Es zeigt sich, dass teilweise erhebliche Belastungsunterschiede bestehen. Ziel der im Buch vorgestellten Reformvorschläge ist es, diese Belastungsunterschiede abzubauen. Dazu werden zunächst die Gründe untersucht, aus denen Selbständige und Arbeitnehmer bislang unterschiedlich behandelt werden. Ferner werden die wesentlichen Ursachen für Belastungsunterschiede in Deutschland isoliert und anschließend unter Berücksichtigung ausgewählter ausländischer Beispiele (Niederlande, Österreich, Belgien und Schweiz) Reformmaßnahmen ausgearbeitet.

    Description: It would have been hard to miss the pivotal role debt has played for contentious politics in the last decades. The North Atlantic Financial Crisis, Global Recession and European Debt Crisis - as well as the recent waves of protest that followed them - have catapulted debt politics into the limelight of public debates. Profiting from years of fieldwork and an extensive amount of empirical data, Christoph Sorg traces recent contestations of debt from North Africa to Europe and the US. In doing so, he identifies the emergence of new transnational movement networks against the injustice of current debt politics, which struggle for more social and democratic ways of organizing debt within and between societies.

    Description: ​This open access book explores how legal proceedings in and out-of-court can be matched to the complex problems underlying disputes concerning child custody, residence and contact between parents. It focusses in particular on Nordic experiences of in and out-of-court mechanisms as means of resolving custody disputes. The contributors are internationally renowned and experienced researchers from the legal, psychological, and sociological fields who provide empirical as well as legal perspectives. They examine central legal, ethical and knowledge-based dilemmas in custody dispute proceedings. The findings speak to an international audience and suggest ways how to best realize the interests of the child. It transcends disciplinary, institutional, and jurisdictional boundaries in search of new knowledge.

    Description: Les différences qui émergent des quêtes identitaires contemporaines accentuent, dans un mouvement antagoniste de repli corporatiste et de reconnaissance de la pluralité du social, le sentiment que l’identité moderne se fragmente en une constellation de possibles. L’identité sourde fait partie de cette constellation. Elle découle de conceptions qui dépassent le simple intérêt catégoriel pour faire jaillir une communauté de sens. Ainsi, pour plusieurs personnes se reconnaissant dans cette identité, la condition qui les unit est d’abord articulée à partir d’un attachement collectif à une culture spécifique, et surtout, à une langue qui leur est propre. Bien sûr, ce déplacement du stigmate ne s’effectue pas dans l’oubli des dénominations et des traitements antérieurs concernant la surdité et doit composer avec la sédimentation des représentations sociales ayant investi la surdité comme caractéristique identitaire. Les Sourds interrogent définitivement les nouvelles formes du lien social mettant en scène des spécificités qui s’expriment comme différences émancipatrices. Un ouvrage de référence en la matière est le bienvenu à une époque où plusieurs penseurs, mais aussi acteurs du monde de l’éducation et de la réadaptation, s’interrogent sur cette différence, mais aussi sur la différence en général comme vecteur d’identification.

    Description: Unbestritten kommt der Ausstattung und Qualität des Humankapitals eine immer größere Rolle für die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit eines Landes oder eines einzelnen Unternehmens zu. Dabei kann der Bestand an Humankapital zwar sowohl auf private als auch auf betriebliche oder staatliche Bildungsinvestitionen zurückgehen, diese sind aber alle sehr weitgehend durch die institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen der nationalen Bildungssysteme geprägt. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat sich der Bildungsökonomische Ausschuss auf seiner 26. Jahrestagung, die im März 2001 am Institut für Arbeitsrecht und Arbeitsbeziehungen in der europäischen Gemeinschaft in Trier stattfand, mit der Analyse nationaler Bildungssysteme und ihrer Rückwirkungen auf betriebliche Bildungs- und Beschäftigungsstrategien sowie die individuelle Bereitschaft zur Teilnahme an betrieblichen Bildungsangeboten im internationalen Vergleich beschäftigt. Die Autoren betrachten zum einen das Bildungssystem in Deutschland oder ein ausländisches Bildungssystem, um indirekt Schlussfolgerungen über den Einfluss institutioneller Rahmenbedingungen abzuleiten. Zum anderen erfolgen klassische internationale Vergleiche, die mithilfe quasi-experimenteller Untersuchungsdesigns die Bildungs- und Beschäftigungspraktiken in zwei Ländern unter kontrollierten Bedingungen vergleichen und so versuchen, den Zusammenhang zwischen betrieblichen Strategien und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen direkt nachzuweisen. Die Aufsätze umfassen rein theoretische, von formalen Modellen lebende Analysen einerseits bis zu schwerpunktmäßig empirischen, von ausgefeilten ökonometrischen Verfahren getragene Analysen andererseits.

    Description: Here we are! A title that whets the appetite for the perspective of a young feminist, that also wants to invite joint dialogues and provides insights into the historical development of a feminist professional understanding within the framework of the first and second German women’s movements. In addition, the focus is on a new generation of feminist women and professional self-understandings are explored. Taking political developments into account, current references and historically developed women's movement traditions are thus critically examined and alternatives are developed with regard to intergenerational relationships.
    Description: »Hier sind wir!« Ein Titel, der Lust macht auf die Perspektive einer jungen Feministin, der auch zu gemeinsamen Dialogen einladen will und Einsichten in die historische Entwicklung eines feministischen Berufsverständnisses im Rahmen der ersten und zweiten deutschen Frauenbewegung gewährt. Darüber hinaus wird der Blick auf eine neue Generation feministischer Frauen gerichtet und berufliche Selbstverständnisse erforscht. Unter Berücksichtigung politischer Entwicklungen werden damit aktuelle Bezüge und historisch gewachsene, frauenbewegte Traditionen kritisch geprüft und Alternativen in Bezug auf intergenerative Beziehungen entwickelt.

    Description: Canada's centennial anniversary in 1967 coincided with a period of transformative public policymaking. This period saw the establishment of the modern welfare state, as well as significant growth in the area of cultural diversity, including multiculturalism and bilingualism. Meanwhile, the rising commitment to the protection of individual and collective rights was captured in the project of a "just society." Tracing the past, present, and future of Canadian policymaking, Policy Transformation in Canada examines the country's current and most critical challenges: the renewal of the federation, managing diversity, Canada's relations with Indigenous peoples, the environment, intergenerational equity, global economic integration, and Canada's role in the world. Scrutinizing various public policy issues through the prism of Canada's sesquicentennial, the contributors consider the transformation of policy and present an accessible portrait of how the Canadian view of policymaking has been reshaped, and where it may be heading in the next fifty years.

    Description: Kinship foster care involves placing children who cannot live at home in foster care with other members of their family or close network. This book sheds light on different aspects of kinship care development and practice. Using a 20-year longitudinal research study from Norway, this book shows the historical development of kinship care in Norway, research on kinship care, and how family life and relations are negotiated and lived in the span between private and public sphere. It includes the perspectives of the children, their parents and their relatives who have functioned as foster parents. Recognising that kinship care is complex, and needs to be understood and studied from different perspectives, the book describes, analyses and discusses a number of subjects: kinship care in a child welfare historical context, families who are part of kinship care and their perspectives, the formal frameworks around kinship care, and research approaches which have dominated research into kinship care. This book will be of interest to all scholars, students and professionals working in social work and child welfare more broadly, both in the Nordic countries and in a wider international context.

    Description: Countries around the world are reforming their social security and pension systems. International studies often focus on social security reforms in Europe and North America, and may include Latin America. Reforms, however, are also occurring in Asia and Africa, and include reforms of voluntary and employer-provided pensions as well as social security programs. This book discusses both social security and employer-provided pension reforms, as well as reforms in most regions of the world.

    Description: John A. Turner offers a set of reforms for restoring solvency to Social Security that are deemed to have merit in the current political climate. These reforms relate to several vexing issues including increased life expectancy, the growing relationship between income and life expectancy, the declines in the physical demands of jobs, growing income inequality, and the pattern of poverty increasing at older ages.

    Description: Das Buch beinhaltet sieben Abhandlungen theoretischer und grundlegender Natur zu verschiedenen Aspekten öffentlicher Finanzen sowie deren sozialpolitischen Auswirkungen. Die ersten drei Beiträge befassen sich mit einer (optimalen) föderalen Finanzverfassung. Ausgehend von Theorien fiskalen Wettbewerbs werden Effizienzprobleme und die Internalisierung externer Effekte (Beckmann und Engelmann), insbesondere Agglomerationsvorteile (Wrede), eingehend analysiert. Die Folgen des deutschen Gesetzes zum Länderfinanzausgleich sind ein weiteres Thema einer kritischen Betrachtung (Lenk). Eine Arbeit befasst sich mit der Staatsverschuldung und ermittelt Möglichkeiten einer nachhaltigen Staatsverschuldung. Sie wendet die Analyse auf das Beispiel Österreich an (Neck). Die letzten drei Aufsätze behandeln verschiedene wohlfahrtsökonomische Auswirkungen öffentlicher Steuer- und Transferpolitik. Es wird gezeigt, dass eine wachstumsmaximierende Politik nicht unbedingt wohlfahrtsmaximierend ist (Greiner). Als Ausgangspunkt für den Vorschlag einer effizienzerhöhenden Reform der Arbeitsmarktpolitik zur Unterstützung Geringqualifizierter wird unter anderem der politische Realismus genommen (Schöb). Der Wettbewerb zwischen den Einheiten einer föderalen Struktur wird in der letzten Untersuchung auf die Hochschulfinanzierung angewandt (Schwager). Es wird gezeigt, wie eine dezentrale Gebühren- sowie Einkommensteuerstruktur zu allokativer Effizienz führen können.

    Description: This is a chapter from Safety and Security in Transit Environments: An Interdisciplinary Approach edited by Vania Ceccato and Andrew Newton. This chapter is available open access under a CC BY license. As other chapters in Safety and Security in Transit Environments assert, crimes such as pickpocketing can concentrate near bus stops, and crowding and congestion is a factor that heightens this risk. But to target interventions effectively, it is useful to determine what local-level interactions characterise this crowding behaviour. This paper aims to provide a first step to using data collected from laboratory experiments to address questions from crime and transport research. The experiment considered differences in interpersonal distances to further analyse crowding behaviour to attain further insight that could narrow the focus of possible interventions. Audio warnings are examined as a possible solution, and findings show that crowding peaks when passengers board the bus, and audio messages may be one approach for addressing this. To conclude, implications of identifying boarding as a problem area, and the effectiveness of warning messages as a situational crime prevention tool are discussed.
