Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un fonctionnaire des Nations Unies, Section du programme pour le développement, nous livre une analyse pénétrante de ce qu'est un pauvre, de ce qu'est une nation pauvre. Ce n'est pas si simple qu'on le pense généralement. La pauvreté ne s'analyse pas seulement en termes d'économie; elle est surtout exclusion du pouvoir, impuissance dans le jeu des échanges sociaux ou internationaux, marginalité, dépendance. Très éclairant et de lecture assez facile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage est paru pour sa 1e éd en 1993 dans la collection Recherches politiques. Ce fut une des premières études complètes sur le revenu minimum d'insertion, instauré en France en décembre 1988 par le gouvernement Rocard. Le double objectif du RMI était de procurer des moyens convenables d'existence aux plus démunis et de les encourager à entreprendtre eux-mêmes les actions nécessaires pour cesser d'être assistés. L'auteur étudie les attitudes de la société française envers ses pauvres durant les Trente Glorieuses et les années 80 en se fondant sur les débats parlementaires et des enquêtes sur les bénéficiaires du RMI. Il analyse la mise en place des actions dites d'insertion et leurs effets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parmi les thèmes principaux de recherche du Laboratoire de sociologie juridique — Équipe de Recherche Associée 933, C.N.R.S. — de l'Université de droit, d'économie et de sciences sociales de Paris, figure l'étude de la situation de populations minoritaires au sein desquelles l'on constate l'existence de handicaps d'ordre social ou économique. Depuis plusieurs années, les travaux entrepris à ce sujet sont relatifs au statut de ces groupes tel qu'il résulte des institutions et des règles de droit, ainsi que de maintes données sociologiques ou psychologiques. Tsiganes et nomades composent une catégorie très défavorisée : niveau de vie peu élevé, difficile insertion professionnelle, marginalisation grandissante. D'où une question : les politiques sociales sont-elles en mesure de répondre aux besoins de protection de ce groupe ? La présente publication a pour objet l'analyse des processus d'enfermement par l'effet desquels des familles se trouvent dans un état de pauvreté et de précarité ne leur permettant de choisir qu'entre l'assistance et l'exclusion. La démarche retenue dans l'étude précieuse de Madame Charlemagne relie donc des investigations placées au carrefour de l'intervention des pouvoirs publics, de l'attitude des travailleurs sociaux, des stratégies déployées par les populations nomades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment redonner des couleurs à ce qui se nomme encore sciences "sociales" (ou "humaines", philosophiques de toute manière) ? Comment ramener à la vie ces dites sciences, aujourd'hui appareillées, académisées, dogmatisées, transformées en manuels-de-catéchismes, voire en outils savants de propagande, finalement inféodées aux petits robber barons industrialistes et à leur état "féodal-impérial" ? Comment remettre en mouvement la puissance critique (que contient la science, "nécessairement") ? Hors des rets de l'Etat (éco)-Nomiste, hors du service officiel de l'agrégation. Une nouvelle science radicalement démocratique [an-archique], voilà ce qui doit être introduit. Ces prolégomènes constituent une tentative de création d'une science nouvelle du social ou de l'économie, depuis le Réel (de) Pauvreté - science (du) Pauvre. Ces prolégomènes peuvent aussi être envisagés comme la perlaboration, longue & lente, du plus ancien projet de science sociale unifiée, science selon (et pour) l'homme-réel, le Pauvre, soit dire encore une éthique, éthique (de la) démocratie illimitée. Ce projet, qui sera également dit non-marxiste, repris de plusieurs manières depuis un siècle et demi, n'est finalement devenu praticable ("oeuvrable") que grâce à la création de la Non Philosophie, grâce aux avancées créatives les plus audacieuses, les avancées non-philosophiques de la science radicale, de la science non-marxiste - non-éthique. Science radicale critique, depuis le réel (de) Pauvreté, de la richesse mortelle.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Social Science of Poverty written by David Brady and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 937 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite remarkable economic advances in many societies during the latter half of the twentieth century, poverty remains a global issue of enduring concern. Poverty is present in some form in every society in the world, and has serious implications for everything from health and well-being to identity and behavior. Nevertheless, the study of poverty has remained disconnected across disciplines. The Oxford Handbook of the Social Science of Poverty builds a common scholarly ground in the study of poverty by bringing together an international, inter-disciplinary group of scholars to provide their perspectives on the issue. Contributors engage in discussions about the leading theories and conceptual debates regarding poverty, the most salient topics in poverty research, and the far-reaching consequences of poverty on the individual and societal level. The volume incorporates many methodological perspectives, including survey research, ethnography, and mixed methods approaches, while the chapters extend beyond the United States to provide a truly global portrait of poverty. A thorough examination of contemporary poverty, this Handbook is a valuable tool for non-profit practitioners, policy makers, social workers, and students and scholars in the fields of public policy, sociology, political science, international development, anthropology, and economics.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 20e siècle semble traîner derrière lui des valeurs et des réalités qu’il pensait combattre à jamais. Inégalité et pauvreté n’étaient déjà pas, plus, envisageables depuis au moins deux siècles et le Royaume-Uni semblait porter les espoirs de cette ère nouvelle. Depuis 1942, d’aucuns affirment que le procès richesse-inégalité-pauvreté est un des plus stables du pays. Qu’en-est-il au juste ? Le recueil bilingue (anglais-français) apporte sa contribution au débat.

This book was released on 2020-10-01T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La lutte contre la pauvreté connaît une transformation majeure depuis la fin du XXe siècle. Longtemps au cœur d'une politique sociale inclusive, « les pauvres » sont désormais une catégorie d'individus qu'une administration tatillonne stigmatise, tout en leur dispensant d'insuffisantes prestations. Comment est-on passé d'un idéal d'insertion sociale à l'injonction de traverser la rue pour trouver un emploi ? Pour comprendre cette évolution, Frédéric Viguier retrace l'histoire de la cause des pauvres depuis 1945. Il décrit notamment le travail mené par des associations comme ATD Quart Monde ou la Fédération des acteurs de la solidarité dans les campements et les cités de transit de l'après-guerre et la façon dont elles ont, au fil des ans, porté cette cause sur les scènes administratives, politiques, médiatiques et scientifiques. Un combat qui s'est souvent soldé par des victoires à la Pyrrhus face aux représentants des hautes sphères de l'État social et à leur conception d'une bonne action publique. Normalien, agrégé de philosophie et docteur en sciences sociales, Frédéric Viguier enseigne les sciences sociales à l’Institut d’études françaises de New York University.

Download or read book O va l argent des pauvres written by Denis Colombi and published by Éditions Payot. This book was released on 2020-01-15T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’image choque : un SDF avec un portable dernier cri. Pourquoi ? Une dépense injustifiée ? L’argent des pauvres est un objet de fantasmes : on l’imagine mal géré, mal utilisé, mal alloué. Pourtant, on s’interroge peu sur comment les pauvres eux-mêmes le gèrent, où va cet argent, ce qu’il devient et qui il enrichit. À partir d’exemples concrets de notre quotidien, ce livre vise à déconstruire notre perception du pauvre. Poser la question de l’argent des pauvres, c’est aussi s’interroger sur notre rapport à la consommation. La place du luxe ou du superflu dans nos dépenses. La nécessité – ou non – des « petits plaisirs » que l’on s’octroie.

Download or read book Between the Social and the Spatial written by Katrien De Boyser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 1990s, the gradual widening of scientific and policy debates on poverty from a narrow focus on income poverty to a more inclusive concept of social exclusion, has made poverty research both more interesting and more complicated. This transition to a more multidimensional conceptualization of poverty forms the background and starting point of this book. Researchers studying the 'social' and 'spatial' dimensions of poverty have only started to challenge and explore the boundaries of each other's research perspectives and instruments. This book brings together these different bodies of literature on the intersection of spatial and social exclusion for the first time, by providing a state-of-the art review written by internationally-recognized experts who critically reflect on the theoretical status of their research on social exclusion, and on the implications this has for future research and policy-making agendas.

Download or read book Poverty Knowledge written by Alice O'Connor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progressive-era "poverty warriors" cast poverty in America as a problem of unemployment, low wages, labor exploitation, and political disfranchisement. In the 1990s, policy specialists made "dependency" the issue and crafted incentives to get people off welfare. Poverty Knowledge gives the first comprehensive historical account of the thinking behind these very different views of "the poverty problem," in a century-spanning inquiry into the politics, institutions, ideologies, and social science that shaped poverty research and policy. Alice O'Connor chronicles a transformation in the study of poverty, from a reform-minded inquiry into the political economy of industrial capitalism to a detached, highly technical analysis of the demographic and behavioral characteristics of the poor. Along the way, she uncovers the origins of several controversial concepts, including the "culture of poverty" and the "underclass." She shows how such notions emerged not only from trends within the social sciences, but from the central preoccupations of twentieth-century American liberalism: economic growth, the Cold War against communism, the changing fortunes of the welfare state, and the enduring racial divide. The book details important changes in the politics and organization as well as the substance of poverty knowledge. Tracing the genesis of a still-thriving poverty research industry from its roots in the War on Poverty, it demonstrates how research agendas were subsequently influenced by an emerging obsession with welfare reform. Over the course of the twentieth century, O'Connor shows, the study of poverty became more about altering individual behavior and less about addressing structural inequality. The consequences of this steady narrowing of focus came to the fore in the 1990s, when the nation's leading poverty experts helped to end "welfare as we know it." O'Connor shows just how far they had traveled from their field's original aims.

Book excerpt: How low-income people cope with the emotional dimensions of poverty Could a lack of close, meaningful social ties be a public—rather than just a private—problem? In Social Poverty, Sarah Halpern-Meekin provides a much-needed window into the nature of social ties among low-income, unmarried parents, highlighting their often-ignored forms of hardship. Drawing on in-depth interviews with thirty-one couples, collected during their participation in a government-sponsored relationship education program called Family Expectations, she brings unprecedented attention to the relational and emotional dimensions of socioeconomic disadvantage. Poverty scholars typically focus on the economic use value of social ties—for example, how relationships enable access to job leads, informal loans, or a spare bedroom.However, Halpern-Meekin introduces the important new concept of “social poverty,” identifying it not just as a derivative of economic poverty, but as its own condition, which also perpetuates poverty. Through a careful and nuanced analysis of the strengths and limitations of relationship classes, she shines a light on the fundamental place of core socioemotional needs in our lives. Engaging and compassionate, Social Poverty highlights a new direction for policy and poverty research that can enrich our understanding of disadvantaged families around the country.

Download or read book Psychosocial and Cultural Research on Poverty in Mexico written by Cirilo Humberto García Cadena and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new and timely book deals with the magnitude and the intensity of the poverty in Latin America, Mexico and the state of Nuevo Leon. The enormous and chronic social problems of poverty in 1970 struck approximately 40 per cent of the families of Latin America or 119 million people. In 1990, of 423,913,043 habitants of Latin America, 46 per cent were living in poverty, that is to say, 195 million people were suffering this calamity (CEPAL). According to the same CEPAL, in 2002 44 per cent of the population of Latin America was poor, whereas 19.40 per cent were living in extreme poverty, indigence or misery. Seen in another way, the poverty in Latin America increased in that period of 20 years, from 1970 to 1990, 38.97 per cent. At the moment, in Latin America there are 225 million poor people. This book is an essential reference to a problem which the world must, if for no other reason than necessity, deal with in a vigorous and just manner.
