This is the first broad-based survey of a scattered literature that has not been readily accessible.

Download or read book Statistical Sources for Social Research on Western Europe 1945 1995 written by Franz Rothenbacher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of this book is to give a picture of the complex material that has been published in the field of social and econornic statistics in Western Europe. Although there are many guides, bibliographies and reference books on special topics of this broad theme, a general overview has been missing. With this book I hope to fill this gap. The frame of reference is a scientific one: enabling and facilitating comparative social research on Western Europe. In some respect this book enlarges and updates the bibliography written by Peter Flora, "Quantitative Historical Sociology", pub lished in "Current Sociology" in 1975. In principle, this guide is an annotated bibli ography of the most important printed material in the field of official statistics. The legitimacy of such an approach lies in the fact that even today printed statistics are the most important form of dissemination of statistical results, although microcom puters, CD-ROMs and the Internet have changed this situation. In any case, a spe cial section on statistical databases is included for every country, describing the main databases of the statistical offices. Furthermore, the Internet address of each international or national statistical institute is provided in the introductory para graph. This enables the reader to get fast access to online databases and supple mentary online information on statistics via the Internet.
Download or read book Councils of Care written by Alan Norton and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Council of care" is the report of a review of local government policies undertaken jointly by the Centre for Policy on Ageing and the Institute of Local Government Studies. It outlines the most important areas of current practice, highlights initiatives that could provide a model, and provides an informed basis for discussion of policy and decision making in the immediate future. The first section of the report examines the implications of the crisis in the welfare state and considers the pursuit of cost effectiveness in local government. The second part concentrates on how local councils can maintain and improve the quality of life of retired people, by ensuring that transport, planning, leisure and the police service are sensitive to their needs and limitations. Two chapters on housing review the case for and against sheltered housing, the role of the private sector, "staying-put" options, and the need for surveillance. Part three considers the services required by the frail ederly, and reviews the community care debate and developments in home help, meals services, day care, residential care, social work support, and some of the innovatory alternatives. The final section considers the crucial issue of co-ordination between local government departments, and between local government and other agencies. Only by close collaboration and effective strategic planning can retired people be served in such a way as to ensure the best use of scarse resources. [4e de couv.].
