Abstract

This volume reflects the emergence of ageing as a global concern, including chapters by international scholars from Asia, Australasia, Europe and North America. It provides a comprehensive overview of key trends and issues in the field, drawing upon the full range of social science disciplines. The Handbook is organized into five parts, each exploring different aspects of research into social aspects of ageing: disciplinary overviews - summaries of findings from key disciplinary areas within social gerontology; social relationships and social differences - topics include: social inequality, gender and ageing, the role of religion, inter-generational ties, social networks, and friendships in later life; Individual characteristics and change in later life - chapters in this section examine different aspects of individual aging, including self and identity, cognitive processes, and biosocial interactions and their impact on physical and psychological aging; comparative perspectives and cultural innovations - topics in this section include: ageing and development, ageing in a global context, migration, and cross-cultural perspectives on grandparenthood; policy issues - the final section examines some of the main policy concerns affecting older people across the world. The topics include: developments in social policy, long-term care, technology and older people, end of life issues, work and retirement, crime and older people, and the politics of old age. This will be essential reading for all students, researchers and policy-makers concerned with the major issues influencing the lives of older people across the globe.

Abstract

Darren McGarvey has experienced poverty and its devastating effects first-hand. He knows why people from deprived communities all around Britain feel angry and unheard. And he wants to explain . So he invites you to come on a safari of sorts. But not the kind where the wildlife is surveyed from a safe distance. This book takes you inside the experience of poverty to show how the pressures really feel and how hard their legacy is to overcome.Arguing that both the political left and right misunderstand poverty as it is actually lived, McGarvey sets out what everybody ? including himself ? could do to change things. Razor-sharp, fearless and brutally honest, Poverty Safari is an unforgettable insight into modern Britain.Bron: https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/darren-mcgarvey/poverty-safari/9781529006346

Abstract

La question de savoir si des enfants sont placés en raison de la pauvreté fait l'objet d'un débat depuis qu'elle a été posée dans le Rapport Général sur la Pauvreté. Les parents directement concernés n'en doutent pas le moins du monde: leurs enfants sont plus souvent placés que d'autres, justement parce qu'ils sont pauvres. Cette vue des choses ne fait toutefois pas l'unanimité parmi les professionnels du secteur: les uns confirment la perception qu'ont les familles, tandis que les autres contestent cette vision ou du moins la nuancent, indiquant que la pauvreté n'est jamais l'unique motif d'une telle décision. L'enjeu du débat est réel puisque la réponse à cette question du lien entre conditions socio-économiques défavorables et risque (au sens statistique du terme) accru d'une mesure de placement oriente fortement la politique de l'aide à la jeunesse. C'est la raison pour laquelle le Service de lutte contre la pauvreté, la précarité et l'exclusion sociale a saisi l'opportunité offerte par le programme de recherches AGORA du SPP Politique scientifique d'objectiver l'existence ou non d'une telle relation en croisant les différentes données disponibles. Cet ouvrage présente les résultats de cette étude menée par une équipe de l'Université de Gand et de l'UCL

Abstract

Dit boek biedt een tussentijds verslag van de evolutie die Rotterdam heeft doorgemaakt nadat in 2002 een college van B&W aantrad, dat voor een derde deel bestond uit aanhangers van de vermoorde Pim Fortuyn. Het nieuwe stadsbestuur wilde de lang verwaarloosde sociale problemen in de stad krachtig aanpakken. Verschillende specialisten beschrijven elk een specifiek aspect van de complexe problematiek, met vooral aandacht voor de welzijnssector. Eerst wordt ingegaan op het begrip 'sociale kwaliteit' en de toepassingen ervan in Rotterdam. Kerndimensies zijn hier sociaal-economische zekerheid, sociale cohesie, sociale inclusie en empowerment. Het tweede deel bespreekt de overgang die de welzijnssector moet maken naar meer sociaal ondernemerschap. Vervolgens wordt de heroriëntatie van de sector besproken, met aandacht voor kinderopvang, het basisonderwijs, de jeugdzorg en de gezinsopvoeding. Het slothoofdstuk behandelt de professionalisering van de sociale sector, die een nauwe samenwerking inhoudt tussen de beroepspraktijk, de aankomende professionals en kenniscentra als de Hogeschool Rotterdam. Als casestudy kan dit rapport zeker dienen ter inspiratie van beleidsmensen en welzijnswerkers
