This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication examines the issue of social cohesion as it relates to young people living in urban environments. There are two major reports on violence and social exclusion: the first looks at these issues in a European context, taking account of the extent and causes of urban deprivation, and how this links to youth violence. The second report concentrates on the UK, and on the social transition from a welfare state to a stakeholder/welfare society. Both reports look at issues of crime prevention, youth employment, projects for training initiatives, and urban design processes. Both reports find examples of good practice, and recommends methods to regenerate social cohesion.
Download or read book L exclusion sociale written by Jérémy Fouliard and published by Bréal. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La notion d’exclusion sociale occupe aujourd’hui une place fondamentale dans le monde. Objet de politiques publiques et de combats militants, elle est également devenue le support de nombreux travaux de recherche. L’exclusion sociale serait représentative des maux qui touchent l’ensemble de notre société, du chômage à la précarité en passant par le sentiment de relégation que connaissent certains individus. Pourtant, l’usage de l’exclusion sociale et sa définition demeurent extrêmement flous, si bien que sa capacité à comprendre le monde dans lequel nous sommes plongés peut être remise en cause, et avec elle la possibilité d’une explication sociale de ces phénomènes. En passant par les analyses de Castel, Simmel ou Paugam, par des champs aussi variés que la microéconomie de la discrimination ou l’histoire des modes d’exclusion, cet ouvrage se propose de penser la notion d’exclusion sociale, tout en demeurant une introduction aux sciences sociales grâce à des encadrés pédagogiques. Ce livre s’adresse aux étudiants en sciences sociales et en économie mais également à tout individu soucieux de la vie dans la cité. • Peut-on donner à la notion d’exclusion un usage sociologique ? • L’exclusion sociale signifie-t-elle une fragilisation du lien social ? • Comment rendre compte du processus d’exclusion sociale ? • Comment lutter contre le processus d’exclusion ?

Download or read book Inequality and the Fading of Redistributive Politics written by Keith Banting and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The redistributive state is fading in Canada. Government programs are no longer offsetting the growth in inequality generated by the market. In this book, leading political scientists, sociologists, and economists point to the failure of public policy to contain surging income inequality. A complex mix of forces has reshaped the politics of social policy, including global economic pressures, ideological change, shifts in the influence of business and labour, changes in the party system, and the decline of equality-seeking civil society organizations. This volume demonstrates that action and inaction policy change and policy drift are at the heart of growing inequality in Canada.
Download or read book Inclusion Exclusion in au Canada written by Dagmara Drewniak and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume convenes English- and French-speaking Canadianists who share a broad reflection on issues of exclusion and inclusion in Canadian contexts. It is through historical, but also linguistic, cultural and literary perspectives that we can unveil and learn more about the particular instances of inclusion and exclusion. The volume offers a kaleidoscopic view of Canadian history, politics, literature, and culture. The collected essays provide a discussion on a number of contemporary Anglophone and Francophone literary works, the evaluation of Canadian language policy, the reflection upon the literary canon as well as challenges of literary translation in a bilingual country, the distinctness of Black Lives Matter Canada, and, last but not the least, the historical status of New France.
Download or read book Canadian Social Policy written by Anne Westhues and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2012-05-25 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social policy shapes the daily lives of every Canadian citizen and should reflect the beliefs of a majority of Canadians on just approaches to the promotion of health, safety, and well-being. Too often, those on the front lines—social workers, nurses, and teachers—observe that policies do not work well for the most vulnerable groups in society. In the first part of this new edition of Canadian Social Policy, Westhues and Wharf argue that service deliverers have discretion in how policies are implemented, and the exercise of this discretion is how citizens experience policy—whether or not it is fair and reasonable. They show the reader how social policy is made and they encourage active citizenship to produce policies that are more socially just. New material includes an examination of the reproduction of systemic racism through the implementation of human rights policy and a comparative analysis of the policy-making process in Quebec and English Canada. The second part of the book discusses policy issues currently under debate in Canada. Included are new chapters that explore parental leave policies and housing as a determinant of health. All chapters contain newly updated statistical data and research and policy analysis. A reworked section on the process of policy-making and the addition of questions for critical reflection enhance the suitability of the book as a core resource in social policy courses. The final chapter explores how front-line workers in the human services can advocate for change in organizational policies that will benefit the people supported.

Download or read book Shifting Terrain written by Nick J. Mulé and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian advocacy has evolved over the past few decades. A core function of the nonprofit sector, advocacy endures in an unsympathetic neoliberal landscape – one dominated by a rise in government surveillance, ongoing government funding cuts, and confusion over what activities are permissible. Exploring the unpredictable and fluid nature of public policy advocacy work carried out by nonprofit organizations across Canada, The Shifting Terrain sheds light on the strictures and opportunities of this crucial aspect of the voluntary sector. Authors from diverse backgrounds, including academics, activists, practitioners, and legal experts, illustrate what the shifting course of advocacy means in philosophical, theoretical, political, and practical terms. Offering a critique of advocacy practices directed at the nonprofit–provincial/territorial government interface and beyond, this anthology outlines regulatory changes made by the Canada Revenue Agency, exposes the conflicted internal structures and processes of advocacy work, challenges "permissible advocacy activities," presents provocative thinking about alternative ways forward, and proposes recommendations for improvement. A comparative historical study and a contemporary examination, The Shifting Terrain invites readers to contemplate the implications of advocacy for public participation, the shaping of public policy, and Canadian democracy.
