社会政策的目标是支持人民的生活和参与社会。为实现这一目标,社会政策必须能够满足多样化人口的需求,并能够抵御冲击。COVID-19大流行给几乎所有维持社会运转的系统(例如经济系统、社会保护系统、卫生保健系统)都带来了压力,我将其称为“社会系统”。这样的压力测试不可避免地暴露了这些系统中必须加以解决的弱点。在这篇文章中,我指出了社会系统在残疾人无障碍方面的一些弱点,特别是在辅助技术方面。这一点很重要,因为残疾人受到2019冠状病毒病的打击比普通人群严重得多。他们患病和死亡的风险更高,同时也有被剥夺护理优先权的风险(Kuper et al., 2020)。雪上加霜的是,许多人患有与covid -19无关的健康问题,而这些问题因负担过重的医疗保健系统而被忽视。
期刊介绍:
Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
