Abstract The continual restructuring of energy systems, around the world, has generated widespread inequities—manifest as profound inequalities and hardship—across the energy continuum. These inequities include: energy unaffordability; access barriers like price or artefacts to utilise the services provided by energy for work and social practices; ‘sacrifice zones’ for new production sites with health, quality of life, and mortality impacts; and, diminished or absent participatory opportunity in production and regulatory decision-making. Fundamental to reaching solutions for the eradication of energy injustices, an exposition is required, we suggest, of the relationships between energy (in)justice, social justice, and inequality. To this end, we investigate two approaches to understanding injustice and inequality—Nancy Fraser’s meta-(in)justice and Stratification Economics. We conclude that the social stratification exhibited through energy injustices, beyond the economic domain, demands solutions that do not replicate the contemporary neoliberal model privileging the private (economic) spheres of power in our societies.

In this paper, we develop a new index labelled the African Women Vulnerability Index (AWVI) with a focus on rural women using Round 7 of the Afrobarometer Survey. The AWVI comprises 59 indicators in six dimensions, namely: safety, empowerment, health, education, economic prosperity, and digitalisation. Our findings show that: (i) Botswana performs best while women in Guinea and Sudan are the most vulnerable. Indeed, Mauritius appears as a good example in some dimensions such as health and digitalisation. (ii) Except for the dimension of digitalisation, rural women’s vulnerabilities in other dimensions are very close to those at the national level. (iii) National vulnerability trends strongly explain rural women’s vulnerability especially for the economic, empowerment, and health dimensions.

: This paper examines changes in occupational crowding of immigrant women in frontline industries in the United States during the onset of COVID-19, and we contextualize their experiences against the backdrop of broader race-based and gender-based occupational crowding. Building on the occupational crowding hypothesis, which suggests that marginalized workers are crowded in a small number of occupations to prop up wages of socially-privileged workers, we hypothesize that immigrant, Black, and Hispanic workers were shunted into frontline work to prop up the health of others during the pandemic. Our analysis of American Community Survey microdata indicates that immigrant workers, particularly immigrant women, were increasingly crowded in frontline work during the onset of the pandemic. We also find that US-born Black and Hispanic workers disproportionately faced COVID-19 exposure in their work, but were not increasingly crowded into frontline occupations following the onset of the pandemic. The paper also provides a rationale for considering the occupational crowding hypothesis along the dimensions of both wages and occupational health.

Abstract The specificity of political and economic changes in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) over the past decade requires detailed theoretical analysis and in-depth empirical research. In particular, the so-called illiberal turn in politics and the accompanying economic reforms are of interest to social scientists. This article attempts to explain this turn in the context of social policy changes, based on the example of the Family 500+ programme in Poland during the rule of the populist political party Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law and Justice, or PiS). To demonstrate the instrumental role of this programme in the implementation of the illiberal strategy, the concept of the commodification of social benefits is used to shed new light on the specificity of Polish ‘pseudo-social welfare’. Hence, the main premise of this article is the thesis that the Family 500+ programme not only fails to constitute the foundation of the Polish welfare state, but, through the commodification of social relations and cuts within the de-commodified social services, it reinforces neoliberal economic forces and the importance of the state.
摘要过去十年中东欧政治和经济变化的特殊性需要详细的理论分析和深入的实证研究。特别是，所谓的政治不自由转向以及随之而来的经济改革引起了社会科学家的兴趣。本文试图在社会政策变化的背景下，以民粹主义政党Prawo i Sprawiedliwość（法律与正义，简称PiS）统治期间波兰的家庭500+计划为例，解释这一转变。为了证明该方案在实施非自由战略方面的重要作用，社会福利商品化的概念被用来揭示波兰“伪社会福利”的特殊性。因此，本文的主要前提是，家庭500+计划不仅没有构成波兰福利国家的基础，而且通过社会关系的商品化和在去商品化的社会服务中的切割，它强化了新自由主义的经济力量和国家的重要性。
