Social Security Reforms

SummaryThis article examines the effects of UK welfare reform since 2008 on people with mental health conditions and disabilities. The results have been profound, particularly during a time of economic austerity, damaging the social safety net and pushing many vulnerable people into poverty and hardship. It has perpetuated inequalities and increased the social exclusion of disabled groups. The holes in the safety net require repair, alongside extensive social policy reform to both protect and empower people with disabilities and long-term conditions.

Abstract                                                                              Since the announcement that COVID-19 is a government, it has made several efforts to reduce the massive expansion of COVID-19. The implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), as well as adaptation to new habits or new normal has been instructed by the government for the community. However, these efforts have still not been able to show success in efforts to suppress the development of the spread of the corona virus in Indonesia. The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has led to a socio-economic crisis whose impact can be felt by all levels of society, especially the 40% of people with low levels of welfare. national disaster, the spread of this virus in Indonesia has not shown a decline. Therefore, in crisis management, the government implements the Social Safety Network (JPS) program to encourage economic growth in times of crisis. Long before the COVID-19 outbreak, the Social Safety Net (JPS) program was an important component of the economic crisis that hit Indonesia in 1998. The JPS program was part of a government microeconomic policy in facing the economic crisis. Keywords: JPS, Government Programs, Covid-19

Reflection about the role of community engagement and corporate social investment in Brazil, associated with the presence of a large economic enterprise, is the major stimulus of this chapter. It seeks to present how cross-sector governance can contribute to the social development of a city and how this process can be led by a partnership comprising a corporate foundation, government, and civil society. The concept of the public–private social partnership (PPSP) is explored: a strategy for building a series of inter-sectoral alliances aimed at promoting the sustainable development of territories where the company has large-scale enterprises, through joint efforts towards integrated long-term strategic planning, around a common agenda. To this end, the case of Canaã dos Carajás is introduced, a municipality in the State of Pará, in the Amazon region, where large-scale mining investment is being carried out by the mining company Vale SA.

The Impact

Throughout Western highly industrialised countries, there has been a marked shift toward more conservative social policies signalling a dismantling of the welfare state as part of the process of globalisation. This paper examines the aetiology of the (un)employment insurance programme in the Canadian context. Recently, legislators have tightened eligibility rules, lowered earnings replacement rates and altered coverage requirements. While these changes signal a shredding of the social safety net, they differentially impact on certain segments of the population. Despite official pronouncements of fairness, employment insurance changes intensify the subordination women experience in the paid labour force.
