This book was released on 2003 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The European Union is on the threshold of an important institutional transformation, as thirteen states are applying for membership: ten of them, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, will become a member by May 1st, 2004; two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, will follow some time later and Turkey is also given the perspective of accession in a later stage. Fears are often expressed as to the social impact the adhesion of these states may have upon both the European Union's social security policy and the social security systems of these states. We give a presentation of the social security systems of the applicant states in the same format as the one we used for our earlier descriptions of the national social security systems of the present fifteen member states (Nr. 1 of this Social Europe Series). This publication gives the reader an introduction into the social security systems of the thirteen applicant states. It offers the social security expert with some comparative experience the opportunity to position his/her knowledge of (aspects of) foreign social security systems within the broad national context of these systems; for others, this introduction will simplify first ventures into the field of comparative social security law. The publication also facilitates the broad comparison of the national systems, by describing them according to a uniform structure. For each country, the following aspects are examined: the concept and sources of social security law; the administrative organisation; the personal scope of application; the social risks and benefits (subdivided into old age, survivorship, incapacity for work, unemployment, health care and care, family and need); the way in which social security is financed and the judicial protection. By giving a systematised and short overview of all systems in the European Union, the book finally meets a need of many in and outside Europe."--cover.

Download or read book Navigating Social Security Options written by Danny Pieters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-30 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a variety of social risks and possible policy options that could be put in place to either prevent, or lessen the negative consequences of their materialisation. Pieters groups these policy issues into four major social risks -- income replacement in case of old age and survivorship; unemployment; incapacity for work; and social health care protection – all of which are crucial to the development of a social security system. Navigating Social Security Options draws on extensive knowledge of various national social security systems to compare their costs and benefits, taking into account both their structural elements (conditions of work, education and living), and cultural elements (influence of political parties, trade unions, employers’ organisations, traditions). As a concise comparative point of reference, this book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of social policy and law, as well as policy makers.
Download or read book The European Union and Social Security Law written by Jaan Paju and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to examine how EU law relates to and impacts on the national social security systems of the Member States. It asks three key questions. Firstly, it looks at how the internal market and its developments have eroded Member States' sovereignty over their social security systems, despite the fact that the EU has limited competence in the field. It then explores, secondly, how the Union Citizenship and, thirdly, the Charter of Fundamental Rights has affected the coordination of these regimes.

Download or read book Federalism in the European Union written by Elke Cloots and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume aims to reveal the Janus-faced character of federalism in the European Union. Federalism appears in two main forms in the EU. On the one hand, numerous formerly unitary Member States have embarked on a path towards a (quasi-)federal governance structure. On the other hand, the EU itself is sometimes qualified as a federal system. Significantly, the concept of federalism has a very different, even opposite, connotation in both contexts. When associated with Member State reform, federalism is regarded as a technique for accommodating autonomy claims of sub-state nations. By contrast, when federalism is used as a label for the EU itself, it is conceived as a far-reaching way of integrating the nations of Europe. This dual appearance of federalism in the EU context is central to the structure of the book. The first collection of essays addresses the question whether the EU may be described as a federal system, and whether it can learn from existing federations. In the second set of contributions, the attention shifts to domestic federalisation processes, more particularly to the impact of these processes on EU law and vice versa.

Download or read book The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights written by Steve Peers and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the impact of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights from four key perspectives. First, it posits the Charter within the framework of the ongoing debate on EU Constitutionalism, the proper parameters of Union and Member State power, and investigates the role of "rights" discourse in crafting the contours of a European patriotism. Second, it examines the effect of the Charter on a range of substantive areas of EU regulation, ranging from foundational and fundamental areas such as the economic freedoms, to fields of competence lying at the fringe of Community regulation. This is intended to provide a flavour of how the Charter might seep in to the process of substantive law making. Third, the book describes the impact of the Charter on the question of "Access to Justice" in the EU, a highly topical and important objective, given the current debate (and indeed friction) in the case law of the Community judicature, on how the judicial architecture might be amended to improve access to justice to private parties affected adversely by Union regulation. Fourthly, the book takes an "external" lens in assessing the Charter, canvassing its relationship with the regime for protection of human rights supplied by the international plane, and examining the impact of the Charter on the process of accession of new Member States to the EU.
Download or read book Women s Rights to Social Security and Social Protection written by Beth Goldblatt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection examines the human rights to social security and social protection from a women's rights perspective. The contributors stress the need to address women's poverty and exclusion within a human rights framework that takes account of gender. The chapters unpack the rights to social security and protection and their relationship to human rights principles such as gender equality, participation and dignity. Alongside conceptual insights across the field of women's social security rights, the collection analyses recent developments in international law and in a range of national settings. It considers the ILO's Social Protection Floors Recommendation and the work of UN treaty bodies. It explores the different approaches to expansion of social protection in developing countries (China, Chile and Bolivia). It also discusses conditionality in cash transfer programmes, a central debate in social policy and development, through a gender lens. Contributors consider the position of poor women, particularly single mothers, in developed countries (Australia, Canada, the United States, Ireland and Spain) facing the damaging consequences of welfare cuts. The collection engages with shifts in global discourse on the role of social policy and the way in which ideas of crisis and austerity have been used to undermine rights with harsh impacts on women.
Download or read book Labour Relations in Aviation written by Jacomo Restellini and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-10-26 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerospace Law and Policy Series, Volume 23 In an increasingly competitive air transport environment, airlines are forced to adapt their business models, including employment conditions, in order to maintain and possibly enhance their presence in the market. The airline market is cyclical, and each traffic recovery is accompanied by numerous social developments; air laws and social regulations are becoming closer. This practical and thoroughly researched book brings together, for the first time, the topical legal issues relating to the employment of civil aviation personnel. Considering the latest publications, doctrinal opinions, legal bases, and case law, the author and several distinguished contributors cover such issues and topics as the following: EU social regulations in relation to third States; civil aviation safety rules that have an impact on the working conditions of crew members; social security systems applicable to crew members; competent court and labour law applicable to crew members’ employment relationships; key questions pertaining to posting crew members across borders; social issues related to the leasing of aircraft, including crew; data protection of crew members; atypical forms of employment in the aviation industry; right to strike for crew members; employment consequences of transfer of undertakings in civil aviation; and role of trade unions and collective labour agreements in air transport. The author also traces the process of liberalisation of the EU air transport market and its consequences on the operational structures of airlines and on the working conditions of crew members. For ease of reading, the annex to this book contains excerpts of the relevant legal texts. Lawyers, officials, business people, policymakers and academics with a professional interest in aviation law will find concise yet comprehensive guidance in this book that will help them to understand and address social and legal issues in the ever-changing world of aviation.
Download or read book Free Movement Social Security and Gender in the EU written by Vicki Paskalia and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-07-31 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the system of co-ordination of national social security laws in the European Union from a gender perspective. The central question that it raises concerns the level of social security protection enjoyed by women moving throughout the Union in cases of work interruption or marriage dissolution. Women's social security protection has traditionally been based on two criteria, namely economic activity and family/marriage. Work interruptions, in particular for child-rearing, challenge the invocation of economic activity as an effective basis for social security rights. Changing social and family conditions, including the emergence of atypical relationships and increasing divorce rates, challenge the criterion of family/marriage. Efforts have been made within the framework of the national systems of the Member States to address these challenges, often unsuccessfully. So, how successful has the European system of co-ordination, the aim of which is to provide a sufficient level of protection to migrant workers and their families, been in addressing these challenges? The book contains comprehensive discussion of the phenomenon and legal institution of social security, as well as a thorough analysis of the current state of European Community law concerning co-ordination, with a particular focus on gender. It identifies several problematic areas where solutions must be worked out and action taken. The book fills a gap in the legal literature on the social security field and will appeal to those with an interest in social security, including academics, policy-makers and practitioners.
