Download or read book Understanding social security Second edition written by Millar, Jane and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2009-02-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly risky world the need for social security support is greater than ever. Benefits and tax credits aim to provide protection against economic risks, help families with the costs of bringing up children, enable people to save for retirement, and provide support in old age. Key goals are to redistribute income to alleviate poverty and help people maintain living standards across the lifecourse. Reform of the social security and tax systems has been at the heart of the UK Labour government's aspirations to modernise the welfare state since 1997 with major changes in both policy and administration. This second edition of the important text, Understanding Social Security, reviews these policy developments, giving readers the information and analytical tools to make sense of policy debates and reforms and to evaluate options for the future. The chapters have been extensively updated since the first edition, with new chapters on social security reform, inequalities and social security, and the new 'welfare market'. The main topics covered include: · the social security safety net · racism, ethnicity, migration · social security governance · global social security · social security and the life course · the challenge of childhood poverty · reforming pensions · welfare to work · sickness, incapacity and disability · tax credits · service delivery information technology The book provides a critical examination of social security policy and practice and is essential reading for students of social policy, social work and sociology, as well as policy-makers and practitioners in the fields of social security, welfare-to-work, employment, anti-poverty strategies and welfare rights. It will be of interest to those interested in recent policy developments in these areas, emerging issues and debates, and in wider issues of the modernisation of the welfare state.
Download or read book Work to Welfare written by Pete Alcock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-16 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a new perspective on joblessness among men. During the last twenty years vast numbers of men of working age have moved completely out of the labour market into 'early retirement' or 'long-term sickness' and to take on new roles in the household. These trends stand in stark contrast to rising labour market participation among women. Based on an unprecedented range of new research on the detached male workforce in the UK, and located within an international context, the book offers a detailed exploration of the varied financial, family and health circumstances 'detached men' are living in. It also challenges conventional assumptions about the boundaries between unemployment, sickness and retirement and the true health of the labour market. Work to Welfare represents an important contribution to debates about the labour market and benefit systems and will be of interest to readers and practitioners in social policy, economics and geography.

Download or read book Labour Market and Social Protection Reforms in International Perspective written by Giuliano Bonoli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social protection systems and labour markets have undergone major changes in the past two decades. Welfare states are being reformed, scaled back and modernised; labour markets, at the same time, are more precarious, more feminised, more unequal, and throughout the OECD area, older. The interaction between labour markets and social protection has become increasingly crucial to the social and economic policy mix concerning unemployment, the transformation of work, the new poverty, and even demographics. Against this background, an interdisciplinary team of leading labour market and social protection experts from various OECD countries examine the multifaceted aspects of the changing relationship between social protection systems and labour markets. They identify and analyse key emerging issues, such as the link between employment and social protection financing, the adaptation of social protection systems to women's career patterns, and the development of new forms of social protection that aim at promoting employment. With practical policy guides and recommendations using case studies and comparative chapters, this will be engaging reading for policy-makers, social actors and academics alike.
Download or read book House of Commons Scottish Affairs Committee The Impact of the Bedroom Tax in Scotland Plan B Charges Arrears and Refunds Incorporating the Government Response to the Committee s Fourth Report of Session 2013 14 HC 937 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Scottish Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scottish Government's plan to negate the future effects of the bedroom tax in Scotland is inadequate, and further that the route they have identified - using Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) - is flawed. The Committee has taken evidence in Scotland and Westminster on the impacts of the bedroom tax but also on the best and most effective ways of mitigating those effects. The Committee reiterates its call for the Scottish Government to meet all the bedroom tax charges for Scottish tenants, write off all the arrears, and refund all the payments that have been made, as the only fair and workable way forward.
Download or read book A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous society, yet America's future is not as secure as it could be because millions of American children live in families with incomes below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack of adequate economic resources for families with children compromises these children's ability to grow and achieve adult success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at children and families. This report also provides policy and program recommendations for reducing the number of children living in poverty in the United States by half within 10 years.
Download or read book Minimum Wage Regimes written by Irene Dingeldey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book goes beyond traditional minimum wage research to investigate the interplay between different country and sectoral institutional settings and actors’ strategies in the field of minimum wage policies. It asks which strategies and motives, namely free collective bargaining, fair pay and/or minimum income protection, are emphasised by social actors with respect to the regulation and adaptation of (statutory) minimum wages. Taking an actor-centered institutionalist approach, and employing cross-country comparative studies, sector studies and single country accounts of change, the book relates institutional and labour market settings, actors’ strategies and power resources with policy and practice outcomes. Looking at the key pay equity indicators of low wage development and women’s over-representation among the low paid, it illuminates our understandings about the importance of historical junctures, specific constellations of social actors, and sector- and country-specific actor strategies. Finally, it underlines the important role of social dialogue in shaping an effective minimum wage policy. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and policy-makers and practitioners in industrial relations, international human resource management, labour studies, labour market policy, inequality studies, trade union studies, European politics and political economy.

Download or read book Helping people from workless households into work written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-07-19 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A workless household is defined as a household that includes at least one person of working-age (men aged 16-64 years and women aged 16-59 years) where no one in the household aged 16 or over is in employment. Currently, there are about three million households, containing 1.7 million children, who still have no-one in work. Evidence suggests that many adults in workless households would like to work, but that they face multiple barriers to work, such as low skills, disability, a lack of affordable and flexible childcare, or caring responsibilities and may have been on benefits for a long time. The NAO report examines the effectiveness of Department for Work and Pensions' employment programmes aimed at workless households in England, focusing on two programmes: the New Deal for Lone Parents and the New Deal for Partners. The report finds that these programmes are making a difference for those who take part, but more needs to be done to reach out to workless households and to increase awareness of the support available and help people to prepare for and find work.

Download or read book GloBE Rules Made Easy written by Kuldeep Sharma and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-12-09 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide implementation of the OECD’s Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (GloBE Rules), published in December 2021, promises to strike a powerful blow at the tax avoidance rampantly indulged in by many multinational corporations since global minimum tax rate of 15% in all countries is expected to curb shifting of profits from higher tax jurisdiction to lower tax jurisdiction or tax havens. As Inclusive Framework (IF) Member jurisdictions prepare to implement legislation, the tax law community worldwide can turn to this extraordinarily practical, self-contained book for a complete understanding of the background and attributes of the Rules. The book includes such features as the following: text of each of the Rules’ ten chapters (including all forty-nine articles) along with both summary and detailed description; explanations of the Commentary and Illustrative Examples released by the OECD in March 2022; numerous flowcharts, tables, boxes, illustrations, and figures; elaborate technical discussions amidst specific policy considerations; analysis of IF Member jurisdictions regarding key parameters with suitable recommendations; ‘GloBE Rules at a Glance’ checklist encapsulating the features and application of the Rules in the form of FAQs; and implementation processes under way in ten representative jurisdictions. The various publications and releases by the OECD up to 31 May 2022 are considered and duly explained. In the struggle to curb harmful tax competition and aggressive tax planning, it is possible that the GloBE Rules will at last succeed in creating a level playing field in the realm of taxation. And given that OECD guidance and tax expert analysis may not suffice to fully comprehend the complexity of the Rules, this book will prove of enormous value among a wide array of stakeholders, including taxation authorities, tax advisors and lawyers, and academics. Also, multinational enterprises will get enough information to derive maximum benefits in terms of their preparedness, readiness, and responses to implementation of the Rules.
