Abstract:
This paper seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the role of policy-based reasoning in the determination of duty of care questions. In order to do this, the first part explores the distinction between considerations of interpersonal justice and considerations of community welfare in the determination of duty questions. While imperfect, the distinction illuminates the nature of the factors taken into account by courts in determining duty of care questions and has practical as well as theoretical implications. The second part of the paper analyses the respective roles of interpersonal justice considerations and community welfare considerations in a sample of first instance and intermediate appellate cases from England and Canada. That study suggests that community welfare considerations play a far less significant role in determining duty cases at the first instance and intermediate appellate level than at the ultimate appellate level. Analysis of the cases also reveals significant differences between the English and Canadian courts in their approaches to the interpersonal justice and community welfare aspects of duty of care questions.

Abstract:
This research was aimed at developing a social welfare policy on elderly health care in the community through a case study of Phitsanulok Municipality. The objectives of the study were 1) to develop elements and indicators of social welfare for elderly health care, 2) to develop a model for developing social welfare for elderly health care and 3) to investigate the policy development of social welfare for elderly health care. Mixed Method was utilized using survey component analysis research method, content analysis, component confirmation, deep interview and group discussion. The sample groups in this research are 759 elders and 60 organization managers who are involved in social welfare policy for long term elderly health care. Results showed 1) social welfare for elderly health care is included in the existing policy in the area and is operational, but it lacks policy contents which are consistent with the needs of the elderly. Additionally, 2) 34 indicators and five elements were identified as components and parameters of social welfare for the elderly in Phitsanulok. Analysis showed the three elements and six indicators are important and two of the six relate to public health. Analysis by Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy found KMO value equal to 0.912 and structural reliability α= 0.83-0.97. Lastly, 3) the evaluation results revealed that social welfare policy for elderly health care in Phitsanulok is suitable at a high level.

Abstract:
The current welfare policy environment places considerable emphasis on employment as a means for reducing welfare dependency. Policy provisions that subsidize child-care use are aimed at encouraging work, exit from welfare, and sustained independence from public support. Yet there has been very little research on the child-care usage patterns of welfare mothers, particularly with respect to factors associated with the persistence of such patterns. This study analyzes the durability of child-care arrangements, using data from a 1983-1984 longitudinal survey of welfare mothers conducted in three cities. The specific questions addressed included the following: What are the correlates of durability of a child-care arrangement, especially those related to type and cost of care; and, how are a mother's subjective ratings of child-care quality related to the probability of ending or changing her current arrangement? The findings indicate that family day-care arrangements are the least durable; however, care in a center is not more durable than care provided by a child's relatives. Among several dimensions along which mothers rated their child-care arrangements, only convenience — with respect to location and timing — emerged as a significant correlate of durability.

Abstract:
Purpose Some social policy theorists assert that East Asia has a distinct social welfare regime that due to the influence of Confucian values relies on families more than in other countries. This theorisation has been questioned, partly because it is a static, reductive generalisation. The purpose of this paper is to ask whether this characterisation is relevant to aged care services in Shanghai. Design/methodology/approach This study uses data from ageing profile statistics, policy documents and ethnographic fieldwork to examine Shanghai aged care services. Findings These data show a growing reliance and preference for state aged care service provision to complement family care. It finds that changes in Shanghai aged care services in the last ten years have moved towards a model with similar patterns in high-income countries. It suggests that differences in the service system that were attributed to Confucian values were more likely due to the degree of economic development and internationalisation. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature by re-examining the structure of Shanghai’s welfare regime in the context of the dynamic nature of aged care services and preferences of older people.

Abstract:
WELFARE STATES ARE NATIONAL STATES, AND IN EVERY country welfare is a national concern, circumscribed by the nation's borders and reserved for its residents alone. In the course of centuries, these states have emerged from and against one another, in mutual competition, and in the past century this process of state formation in the West went in tandem with the collectivization of care. The welfare state is the national state in its latest phase. It may be succeeded by another stage which we may eventually see.

Abstract:
Focusing on local government and non-governmental nonhuman animal welfare organizations, this paper reports survey results on institutional policies, interpretive frameworks, and practices regarding companion animals in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The findings suggested that local governments and animal shelters use different interpretive frameworks of companion animal welfare, with the former taking a human-centric position and the latter focusing on animal well-being. The results showed that most local governments are not well engaged with animal welfare issues. Instead, these issues are more often dealt with by non-governmental organizations that operate on limited budgets and rely heavily on volunteer labor. Whereas federal and provincial governments are responsible for legislating companion animal welfare, practical implementation of animal welfare has been largely the responsibility of non-governmental organizations. Our findings demonstrated that the ways that animal welfare policy is interpreted and enacted at the local level have significant implications for animal well-being more broadly.

Full text
Abstract:
Using the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) and ordered logistic regression, the relation of intergenerational child care and short-term fertility intentions is explored in the gender-egalitarian Swedish family policy context. Overall, receiving child care help from parents or grandparents does not seem to influence whether women or men with one or two children plan to have another child. The results support the Swedish public child care system's effectiveness in facilitating relatively high fertility and work- and family compatibility, while informal child care is at best complementary. Only women and men aged 18-29 years old with two children were found to be significantly more likely in having another child within three years when receiving intergenerational child care support.

Full text
Abstract:
This work investigates the uses of the Internet and email in health care and specifically focuses on the use of these technologies in the management and support of patients following kidney transplantation. Health information websites are recognised to differ widely in quality and reliability of their content. This has led to the development of various codes of conduct and rating tools to assess the quality of health websites. However, the validity and reliability of these rating tools and their applicability to different health websites also varies. In principle, rating tools should be available to consumers, require a limited number of elements to be assessed, be assessable in all elements, be readable and be able to gauge the readability and consistency of information provided from a patient's view point. This study addresses the design and evaluation of a patient-centred transplant online service consisting of a website and e-mail communication. The website focuses on providing health education to patients so that they can conveniently obtain useful clinical information, as needed in home or workplace settings. The online service was assessed for its acceptability and usefulness from patient's perspectives and for its efficacy in reducing patient's needs to contact primary or secondary care services regarding day-to-day health issues. The online service was purpose built, informed by a framework developed during this study. The framework can be used by transplant clinicians to develop and maintain their websites. Work to inform the framework included an evaluation of the quality of information found in kidney and liver transplantation websites. This evaluation used both expert reviews, based on a weighted hformation Scoring (IS) system and involving clinicians in the assessment, and user evaluations where patient's Internet use, and their suggestions about, and interest in, transplant websites were elicited. The use of email in answering health related questions in the group of the patients who took part in the study was also evaluated. Whilst the hflernet has made it possible for patients and their families to access vast quantities of information that previously would have been difficult for anyone but a physician or librarian to obtain, an important finding of the research is the existence currently of many poor quality websites. The results indicate overall that readily accessible Internet websites for liver or kidney transplantation patients provide a large quantity of, but poor quality, material. Based on surveys of patients needs, the study reported in this thesis highlights the fact that transplant websites should include information about life style in addition to purely medical-related topics. Incorporation of web tools, like email, is shown to effectively help solve many of the daily health problems of patients with organ transplantation. The transplant online service developed as a part of this study showed high levels of patient acceptability and effectively helped reduce the need for patients to access primary or secondary care. The results of this research support the potential of online services as an innovative approach for patient-centred care in organ transplantation.

Williams, Jennifer Lea. "Education Policy Adoption in a Child Welfare Agency: Frontline Perspectives on Leadership." ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/6494.

Full text
Abstract:
This study focused on a policy that promotes educational stability for foster children in a southern state in the US. At the time of this study, this policy had not been fully adopted across the state which resulted in foster children not routinely receiving the interventions necessary for improving academic outcomes. Using the diffusion of innovation theory as a framework, the purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how local-level leaders impacted the successful adoption of education policy in one county office of a statewide child welfare agency. Data were collected from a sample of 5 case managers and a review of the literature. The data were coded and analyzed using Colaizzi's 7-step method of data analysis. Results revealed the specific actions that were taken by county-level leaders to impact the successful adoption of the policy. Such actions included the allocation of resources and the intentional inclusion of informal leaders in decision-making around policy implementation. The social change implications stemming from this study include recommendations made to program leadership to consider practical changes to policy implementation that may result in successful adoption of this policy. Such changes may lead to foster children across the state receiving the benefits of the evidence-based supports outlined in the policy and may lead to an improvement in the delivery of services to vulnerable populations served by the child welfare agency.

Kwak, Hyokyung. "THREE ESSAYS ON WELFARE POLICIES IN AMERICAN STATES: EXPLAINING AMERICAN WELFARE STATES IN THE POST-WELFARE REFORM ERA." UKnowledge, 2019. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/msppa_etds/33.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation consists of three empirical studies that address questions regarding state welfare policy making in the post-welfare reform era. The first empirical study pays close attention to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) as a federal block grant program, which is a big departure from most previous TANF studies, to ask why American states differ in their decisions to allocate federal block grants across specific programs. Drawing on research on fiscal federalism and state and cross-national welfare politics, the study uses cross-sectional time-series data covering 50 states over the fiscal years 2004-2016 to examine factors that have an impact on state child care spending under the TANF block grant. The results show that several political factors and one socio-economic factor impact states’ TANF child care spending in the hypothesized direction. Most importantly, the study finds that a specific state government’s TANF policy designed to encourage work matters in an interesting way. States’ emphasis on work of TANF recipients, measured by the existence of the TANF job-search rule, exerts a positive, independent effect on the percentage of state TANF child care spending, but the positive marginal effect of implementing the job-search rule becomes negative as the percentage of female state legislators passes 28%. The study shed lights on our general understanding of the factors that influence state allocations of federal block grants for an understudied but increasingly important policy program in the American states—child care. The second empirical study examines whether the selection of indicators of welfare policy commitment makes any difference for the findings in studies of the determinants of state welfare policy. If so, what difference does it make? While scholars of state welfare politics have long been making efforts to find better explanations for variation in welfare policy across American states, the literature as a whole has paid little attention to how differently scholars operationalize state welfare policy even though they examine a variety of welfare policy measures. To address these questions, I estimate a series of different panel data models with different measures of state welfare commitment for the period after the welfare reform of 1996. Comparing the results across these models shows that the choice of dependent variable measures affects the estimation results, thereby suggesting that empirical findings are dependent upon the measure we use. This finding not only shows that scholars need to be cautious in interpreting their results but also opens up a new puzzle as to why a factor affects a particular welfare measure but not others. The last empirical study addresses the question: do the effects of party politics differ across welfare policies? In answering this question, the study draws on the literature on deservingness and social construction of target populations and hypothesizes that party politics would play a differential role in explaining the generosity of different welfare policies depending on the perceived deservingness of target populations. To test this hypothesis, I estimate three models each for TANF, Supplemental Security Income-State Supplements (SSI-S), and Medicaid generosity covering the period after the welfare reform. I find that party politics still remains as an important predictor of state welfare generosity, especially where welfare policy for the deserving poor and mixed population in terms of its deservingness is concerned. Also, there are differential effects of party politics across the welfare policies examined, but sometimes in an unexpected direction. This study provides a valuable addition to the literature in that it updates and enriches our understanding of welfare politics.

Full text
Abstract:
This research builds upon a body of work on the development and introduction of information systems in the UK National Health Service following the implementation of the White Paper 'Working for Patients'. None of the earlier studies examined the use of the information from those systems for costing health care services, the methodologies used by hospitals for costing their products or the comparability of the output from the costing methodologies used, thereby making this study different from prior work. Costing methodologies cited in the literature are described from the perspective of single organisations. This research analyses the development of an aggregated costing approach, focusing on the issues laced when trying to develop a costing methodology that will be applied to a group of autonomous organisations. The research provides a comparison of health care costing methodologies in both the United Kiiigdom and Ontario, Canada. Collected through interviews and a postal survey tool, data from NHS hospital care providers are analysed to identify both the conformity of the approach and the results of the costing methodologies eniployed. Information from an extended field study is used to review the development of a micro-costing framework in Ontario for radiation therapy services. These findings are then synthesised into a generic framework applicable within other health care organisations seeking to implement a comparative costing methodology. This lramcwork is used to identify possible causes of variance in health care costing approaches. Elements of the framework requiring modification to account for local conditions, such as salary rates or provider availability, are identified and suggestions are made for further work resulting from this research to increase understanding about variability in health care costing methodologies and test the implementation of the generic costing methodology.

Baldeh, Yero H. J. "Information support for district health care planning and decision making in The Gambia : a holistic approach." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 1997. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/21604/.

Full text
Abstract:
This research builds upon a body of previous research on health informatics in developing countries. Early research on this area was motivated by a desire to understand the role of different health informatics applications for an effective and efficient health care delivery in developing countries. These applications range from the use of medical expert systems for clinical diagnosis to epidemiological systems at the central level. None of these looked at health information systems at the district level, especially in relation to the information needs of district health staff. Therefore, this research differs from earlier studies in three aspects. First, it looks at the planning and decision-making processes at the district level and how information support could play a crucial role in these processes. Second, it provides a critical evaluation of the existing vertical reporting systems, and through action-research demonstrates the use of an integrated health information system at the district level. Third, it applies multiple perspectives to analyse the research findings in relation to information support for district health care planning and decision making. These three perspectives are the functional perspective, organisational perspective, and the political perspective. To achieve this, the research: • uses a systemic approach to examine the health care system in The Gambia; • uses action-research to design, develop and implement an integrated district health information system in The Gambia; • uses an interpretive evaluation framework to evaluate the impact of the system development efforts in this research; • uses the theory of contextualism to reflect on the research findings over the three year period. Various themes emerged during the research. These themes would be introduced here as the contributions to knowledge arising from the completion of this research project. These include: • a demonstration of the suitability of using a systemic approach for the design, development and implementation of an integrated information system for district health care planning and decision making; • the development of a conceptual implementation framework suitable for the unique characteristics of developing countries; • a manifestation of the implications of an integrated information system for management development, decentralisation, intersectoral coordination and community participation at the district level; • suggestions for further work especially on the need to evaluate the socio-political impact of this research on the existing political and cultural structures in The Gambia.

Abstract:
BackgroundCare recipients in care and welfare are increasingly presenting themselves with complex needs (Huber et al., 2016). An answer to this is the integrated organization of care and welfare in a way that personalized care is the measure (Topol, 2016). The reality, however, is that care and welfare are still mainly offered in a standardized, specialized and fragmented way. This imbalance between the need for care and the supply of care not only leads to under-treatment and over-treatment and thus to less (experienced) quality, but also entails the risk of mis-treatment, which means that patient safety is at stake (Berwick, 2005). It also leads to a reduction in the functioning of citizens and unnecessary healthcare cost (Olsson et al, 2009).Integrated CareIntegrated care is the by fellow human beings experienced smooth process of effective help, care and service provided by various disciplines in the zero line, the first line, the second line and the third line in healthcare and welfare, as close as possible (Ettema et al, 2018; Goodwin et al, 2015). Integrated care starts with an extensive assessment with the care recipient. Then the required care and services in the zero line, the first line, the second line and / or the third line are coordinated between different care providers. The care is then delivered to the person (fellow human) at home or as close as possible (Bruce and Parry, 2015; Evers and Paulus, 2015; Lewis, 2015; Spicer, 2015; Cringles, 2002).AimSupport societal participation, quality of live and reduce care demand and costs in people with complex care demands, through integration of healthcare and welfare servicesMethods (overview)1.

Abstract:
We assessed the health care reform and its effects on household’s welfare such as access to health care and household economic burden. We used descriptive analysis on 2002-2011 Ministry of Health and OECD Health Statistics. The main result is about using health care. Access to health care increased after health care reform in Turkey. Number of applications to health care service server and its units rose. On the other hand, financial burden of health care on household’s budget decreased number of applications. The main result percentage of not consulting a specialist even needed to consult a specialist but did not during the past 12 months is %4.9 in 2003 and %19.9 in 2010. To improve health care access, policy makers should improve public sector provision of health care, increase social security benefit packages and protect poor and vulnerable.

Abstract:
This project is part of larger European level integrated care project led by HU University of Applied Sciences.Background: In Finland, the integration of social and health care services has taken centre stage in both the policy and practice arenas. The needs of many client groups, for example mental health client, older people and families of child, are many and varied.For example, poor mental health considerably impairs well-being of the population and has considerable economic consequences like absence from work, early retirement and productive losses. Efforts to move towards integrated care in social and health care have been met with increased interest and enthusiasm in recent years. This will increase the focus to improve care and population health while containing costs. However, there is a need to better understand different integrated care approaches for social and health care and guide future implementation of new integrated care models.It is now important to move towards integrated care for many client groups e.g. mental disorders. In this, professionals with different training backgrounds co-ordinate their expertise in providing care for theirshared clients. It provides a safe nexus for the exchange of knowledge and opinions, as well as a framework for reaching a consensus about appropriate health care delivery for a particular client or client cohort. The client should have an immediate access to integrated care, with a focus on rehabilitation in patient’s social roles.Aim: Support societal participation, quality of live and reduce care demand and costs in social and health care client, for example mental health client through integration of healthcare and welfare services.

Abstract:
Welfare Economics (WE) is an important scientific subject because can be a goal of the socio-economic policy of modern states. Although the relation between business successes and social development is not always obvious but can be similar to the process of seeking a balance between challenges and opportunities. An increasing number of enterprises understand the importance of socially responsible activities and their role in building a common WE based state. The result of such an approach is the fact that enterprises take into account all stakeholders’ interests and this became a permanent element of their strategies. This paper presents the literature review of fundamental concepts for the WE. Then two ideas the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Creating Shared Values (CSV) as the key elements of WE are presented and compared. Finally, scientific consideration is supported by an illustrative case study of a Japanese company operating in Poland, which leads towards conclusions. The main finding of this paper is a recommendation for companies to treat CSV as the next stage of development after they implemented CSR oriented strategies.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study aims to explore the possibilities of Taiwan Lifeline International turning into a social enterprise to remediate the burden of scarce resources. The European and American countries provide their people with good welfare through the support of government resources and policy. However, after several financial recessions, the financial shortfall makes the governments rethink their welfare policy. "Nonprofit organizations" therefore start to play an important role in providing various services to people in need. Governments of different countries constantly provide resources and assistance to nonprofit organizations over the years. By the case study of Taiwan Lifeline International, conclusions with profound insight and some possible solutions can be helpful to nonprofit organizations encountering similar challenges. This study investigates the history of nonprofit organizations in social enterprise. The second part of this study continues with the case study of Taiwan Lifeline International, which provides insights on the challenges and possible solutions of the transformation process from nonprofit organizations to social enterprise.

Abstract:
In December 2010, Qatar won the rights to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The announcement came with increasing pressure from international human rights organizations, media and other groups for Qatar to reform its labor laws, which governs the lives and working conditions of foreign workers in the country. Although Qatar continues to develop and implement major reforms to its labor laws, until now there was no one unique tool based on survey data to evaluate the impact of the government’s policies on guest workers. The objective of this paper is to present the Qatar Guest Workers’ Welfare Index (GWWI), a multi-dimensional comprehensive tool based on survey data of migrant workers developed by the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute (SESRI). In addition to assessing and tracking the welfare of this population, the objective of the index is to identify areas of improvement to guide policy formulation.

Abstract:
The basic hypothesis of this evaluation is how efficient the natural resource-rich countries use rents they can create so much sustainable welfare; how inefficient they use the rents, they will be subject to a welfare loss. When we consider the case of energy profile in the case of Eurasia in the scale of inventory, fossil oil, natural gas, coal and water reserves should be examined primarily. Shortly after, examining the distribution of the natural resource will be beneficial. In fact, it would be possible to develop more efficient policy propositions than the potential situation if we take into account the caring of the transportation/trade infrastructure and the infrastructure that enables a larger scale production through the current production and distribution channels. In this study, the results of different experiences acquaired till today will be elaborated. Some indicators will be given place with reference to the importance of R/P ratio. The priority condition for Eurasian countries to catch the contemporary civilization is directly related with the efficiently sustainable and steadily utilization of natural resources. Briefly, the evaluation of all propositions which are parts of the responsibilities of making projections for the future, especially with the historical mission of Turkey, will make contribution to the social peace as well as the welfare of people living in this region.

Abstract:
A country's wealth and poverty are opposite to each other, but they are two inseparable important elements. The more the subject how to increase the welfare of the country is important, the more the distribution of this welfare among country members, especially. Although the observed increase in global prosperity with 21st century in especial that adopted neo-liberal policies in all over the world has caused to further deepening of the phenomenon of poverty. This case has given rise that concept of the "Poverty" has been discussed intensively workers in manufacturing is important. So, issues of fair distribution of income and prevention of poverty should be handled as interdisciplinary, mainly including social policy. That socio-economic and political structure of societies are different has been complicated to have a common definition on the concept of poverty. The World Bank, based on the absolute poverty approach, has made a research to determine the poverty line in the world (by getting base the ones who reap a profit below $ 1) and has determined that the poor class has remained in “minority” compared to world population. As it appears; more than half of the world population is below of the poverty line in reality. While seen daily increases in the welfare of the world countries, given the impression that poverty decreases does not reflect the reality. In this study, why poverty cannot be prevented besides causes of increase will be examined; this dangerous situation rapidly increasing in Turkey and in the world will be analyzed.

Full text
Abstract:
The CAP support is mostly focused on the technological modernization of farms, linked with production intensification, and weakly focused on the farms prosperity and resilience. As a result farmers and managers of agricultural companies are only a slightly motivated to produce added value and high quality food products, to use short food supply chains addressing constantly changing consumer needs, or to pay much attention on issues related to climate change. The paper findings are based on the Lithuanian case study carried out as a part of the international research project “Rethinking the links between farm modernization, rural development and resilience in a world of increasing demands and finite resources” (RETHINK). The Lithuanian case study was determining farmers’ behaviour and causal factors in decision-making. The research based on the positive research paradigm, case study, content and descriptive analysis, empirical study methods (answers of two groups of experts experts-professionals and experts-farmers), logical and systematical reasoning, graphic presentation, abstracts and other methods. The present paper is examining the impact of political factors on prosperity and resilience on farms and agricultural companies. The political factors have the highest impact for prosperity of the farms and agricultural companies in Lithuania (as compared to the technical – entrepreneurial, ethical - social factors, and intangible values). The support from the EU and the national funds is not fully in line with the current concept of farms’ modernization and agricultural innovation. The public policy influence on the competitiveness of the agricultural sector is more strengthening than weakening. The results show the main elements that farmers believe should be included in the new concept of rural prosperity, as well as the main strategies adopted to reach prosperity divided into the five sub dimensions: development of the rural social infrastructure and implementation of information technologies; strong self-governance, social awareness and partnership; high culture of life and communication; rural employment and job creation in rural areas, population welfare; economic and social viability, ecology and environmental security of the countryside.

Abstract:
The Nordic welfare sector is facing significant challenges when it comes to providing effective social care services. While the demand for services for a rapidly growing elderly population is constantly increasing, the workforce delivering social care services is shrinking, with many workers reaching retirement age. Tackling the challenges related to recruitment and retention of qualified staff – and developing innovative approaches to the delivery of social care services – is becoming increasingly urgent, particularly in rural and sparsely populated areas (SPAs). This policy brief gives an overview of examples across the Nordic Region aimed at tackling these resource challenges and exploring innovative ways of organising and delivering social care services in rural areas and SPAs. It is based on a desk study funded by the Nordic Welfare Centre (see more about this on the last page).
