Gross domestic product (GDP) is frequently used as a proxy for well‐being. Such use of GDP is problematic for many reasons, for GDP excludes activities that contribute to well‐being and includes others that have a negative impact instead. As a result, a vast array of metrics has been developed to complement or replace it and put well‐being at the heart of policymaking. Nonetheless, previous research has shown that their use and impact on policymaking has been limited. This article examines the use and impact of well‐being metrics according to their own developers and intended users in the crucial cases of Scotland and Italy, focusing specifically on the two countries' official well‐being frameworks. Despite being at the forefront of the well‐being debate, both countries have never been studied in this regard before. This article fills this gap, collating views from more than 100 stakeholders, including statisticians, members of interest groups, policymakers and journalists. Findings show that the vast majority of informants could not cite any examples of cases in which either framework impacted on policymaking, or in which they themselves had used these. In some cases, this was due to them not being aware of what such frameworks were in the first place. Those who could identify some examples were those who were or used to be part of the government. Examples would, however, tend to be vague, in some instances remarkable yet merely anecdotal, and still in others the result of an ‘ex‐post rationalisation’.
国内生产总值(GDP)经常被用作福祉的代用指标。由于许多原因,这样使用国内生产总值是有问题的,因为国内生产总值不包括对福祉有贡献的活动,而包括其他有负面影响的活动。因此,人们制定了大量指标来补充或取代国内生产总值,并将福祉置于决策的核心位置。然而,以往的研究表明,这些指标的使用和对决策的影响有限。本文根据苏格兰和意大利的关键案例,特别是这两个国家的官方福祉框架,根据其自身的开发者和预期用户,研究了福祉指标的使用和影响。尽管这两个国家处于福祉讨论的前沿,但以前从未对其进行过这方面的研究。这篇文章填补了这一空白,整理了 100 多位利益相关者的观点,其中包括统计学家、利益团体成员、政策制定者和记者。研究结果表明,绝大多数信息提供者都无法举出任何例子说明这两个框架对决策产生了影响,或者他们自己曾经使用过这些框架。在某些情况下,这是因为他们根本不知道这些框架是什么。能够举出一些例子的人是那些曾经是或曾经是政府成员的人。然而,这些例子往往比较含糊,在某些情况下,这些例子非常显著,但仅仅是传闻,而在另一些情况下,这些例子则是 "事后合理化 "的结果。

The cost of living in the United Kingdom has risen to unprecedented levels, leaving people experiencing intensifying hardship. However, there is a tension between the ways in which the cost‐of‐living crisis has been framed in public discourse and the experiences of the public, who focus less on coping with short‐term shocks and more on the erosion of personal resilience over the long term. To explore how resilience has been practised during the crisis and the types of policy change people want to see, this article draws on findings from a mixed‐methods study, taking in a longitudinal survey fielded in Britain in 2022–2023, alongside findings from deliberative workshops and peer research conducted in three London boroughs. Our contribution is both theoretical, connecting lived experience to the existing literature on resilience, and empirical, through the application of novel methods to policy responses to hardship. Using Item Response Theory, supported by insights from peer research and deliberative workshops, we identify the differential nature of the strategies people are taking to cope with rising costs. We then consider the types of policy changes people would like to see, finding far greater appetite for long‐term, ambitious systemic reform to rebuild resilience, not short‐term measures to weather the peaks of inflation. Our findings suggest a distrust in those with the power to enact change as well as stigma around accessing support, while also highlighting the need for engaging the most vulnerable in the process.
联合王国的生活费用已上升到前所未有的水平,使人们的生活更加艰难。然而,生活费用危机在公共讨论中的表述方式与公众的经历之间存在着矛盾,公众并不关注如何应对短期冲击,而是更关注个人抗压能力的长期削弱。为了探讨在危机期间人们是如何提高抗灾能力的,以及人们希望看到哪些类型的政策变化,本文借鉴了一项混合方法研究的结果,其中包括 2022-2023 年在英国开展的一项纵向调查,以及在伦敦三个区开展的商议研讨会和同行研究的结果。我们的贡献既有理论方面的,将生活经验与现有的抗逆力文献联系起来;也有经验方面的,将新方法应用于应对困难的政策。利用项目反应理论,并辅以从同伴研究和商议研讨会中获得的见解,我们确定了人们为应对成本上升而采取的策略的不同性质。然后,我们考虑了人们希望看到的政策变化类型,发现人们更希望看到长期、雄心勃勃的系统性改革来重建复原力,而不是采取短期措施来抵御通胀高峰。我们的研究结果表明,人们不信任那些有能力实施变革的人,也不信任那些因获得支持而蒙受耻辱的人,同时还强调了让最弱势群体参与到这一进程中的必要性。

Despite their potential vulnerability and untapped work potential, research on the group of women without a paid job and social benefits is limited. This study is the first to identify profiles among women in this group based on their intersecting economic, sociodemographic and contextual characteristics. A cluster analysis conducted on Dutch population register data from 2019 challenges previous research that lumped women without a paid job and social benefits into a single group. Rather, we reveal three distinct profiles: ‘Dutch empty nesters (i.e., mothers with adult children) in affluent households’, ‘Migrant women in urban living areas’ and ‘Dutch, educated mothers with affluent partners’. The identification of these three profiles can mark a significant step in developing tailored active labour market policies for women without a paid job and social benefits.
尽管她们具有潜在的脆弱性和尚未开发的工作潜力,但对没有有偿工作和社会福利的妇女群体的研究却十分有限。本研究首次根据经济、社会人口和环境特征的交叉性,确定了这一群体中妇女的特征。通过对 2019 年荷兰人口登记数据进行聚类分析,我们对以往将没有带薪工作和社会福利的妇女归为一个群体的研究提出了质疑。相反,我们发现了三种截然不同的特征:富裕家庭中的荷兰空巢老人(即有成年子女的母亲)"、"城市生活区的移民妇女 "和 "有富裕伴侣的受过教育的荷兰母亲"。对这三种情况的识别标志着在为没有有偿工作和社会福利的妇女制定量身定制的积极劳动力市场政策方面迈出了重要一步。

No welfare without workfare? Revisiting varieties of minimum income schemes in Europe (2008–2022) 没有工作福利就没有福利?重新审视欧洲各种最低收入计划(2008-2022 年)

The social policy literature indicates a notable shift towards activation in minimum income schemes (MIS) since the 1990s, which has led to the emergence of new policy varieties. However, previous research has failed to reveal institutional changes over time and across/within varieties. This article measures and interprets varieties of minimum income across six welfare states from 2008 to 2022. It examines the evolution of varieties of MIS over time, and the extent to which changes have been driven by path dependence dynamics or by convergence towards a workfare model. Theoretically, the article builds on the regulation approach in political economy. Methodologically, it applies a Principal Component Analysis to a new dataset that consists of three OECD‐standard indicators alongside two novel indicators formulated for this study. The findings illustrate that varieties of MIS have undergone both quantitative and qualitative changes, moving within and between typologies. These changes are attributed to a lack of investment in income protection, limited enabling opportunities, and the introduction of specific, incremental workfare reforms.
社会政策文献表明,自 20 世纪 90 年代以来,最低收入计划(MIS)明显转向激活,这导致了新政策品种的出现。然而,以往的研究未能揭示随时间推移以及不同种类之间的制度变化。本文衡量并解释了 2008 年至 2022 年六个福利国家的最低收入品种。文章研究了最低收入保障制度随着时间推移而发生的变化,以及变化在多大程度上是由路径依赖动态或向工作福利模式的趋同所驱动的。在理论上,文章以政治经济学中的调控方法为基础。在方法论上,文章对一个新的数据集进行了主成分分析,该数据集由三个经合组织标准指标和两个为本研究制定的新指标组成。研究结果表明,各种管理信息系统在数量和质量上都发生了变化,在类型内部和类型之间发生了变化。这些变化可归因于对收入保护的投资不足、有利机会有限以及引入了具体的、渐进的工作福利改革。

Means‐Tested Welfare Benefits and Subjective Well‐Being Through Time: Does Clients' Life Satisfaction Recover? 经济情况调查福利和主观幸福感的时间变化:受助人的生活满意度会恢复吗?

We study the process of subjective well‐being adaptation to receiving welfare benefits. Using 15 waves of the German Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security and fixed‐effects regression models, we find that welfare benefit receipt decreases life satisfaction. Furthermore, on average, the results speak against the hypothesis of adaptation to receiving the benefit; the subjective well‐being of welfare benefit receipt starts poor and stays poor. On average, the life satisfaction of women with small children does not decrease upon receipt of welfare benefits.
我们研究了主观幸福感对领取福利金的适应过程。通过 15 次德国劳动力市场和社会保障小组研究以及固定效应回归模型,我们发现领取福利金会降低生活满意度。此外,平均而言,研究结果与领取福利的适应性假设相悖;领取福利的主观幸福感一开始很差,后来也一直很差。平均而言,有小孩的妇女的生活满意度并没有因为领取福利金而降低。

Living with financial insecurity: Analysing the impact of the cost‐of‐living crisis on older ethnic minority people 生活在经济无保障中:分析生活费用危机对少数民族老年人的影响

This article analyses the impact of the cost‐of‐living crisis on older ethnic minority people. The discussion suggests that while the UK is experiencing the greatest living standards crisis in modern times, the pressures facing older people are not new. They should be understood in the context of austerity and the impact of COVID‐19 on the older population, which drastically rationed support of all kinds. The analysis focuses on qualitative data from interviews with older people from ethnic minority backgrounds and community organisations supporting them in Greater Manchester, UK. The findings suggest that the cost‐of‐living crisis is having a particularly profound impact on older Black, Asian and other ethnic minorities, who tend to be poorer, have lower quality housing, lower pensions and are often in poorer health. The inequalities faced by ethnic minority people are driven by entrenched structural and institutional racism and racial discrimination leading to their disproportionate representation in insecure and low‐paid employment, overcrowded housing, and deprived neighbourhoods. The paper argues that the rising cost‐of‐living in the UK is not being uniformly felt, due to inequalities that place ethnic minority groups at a greater risk from high inflation and a stalling economy. To conclude, the paper suggests that since the older population is set to become more ethnically diverse in the years ahead, tackling inequalities between older groups should be a priority as the older population becomes more varied.
本文分析了生活费用危机对少数民族老年人的影响。讨论表明,虽然英国正经历着当代最严重的生活水平危机,但老年人面临的压力并不新鲜。应从紧缩政策和 COVID-19 对老年人口的影响的角度来理解这些压力,因为 COVID-19 对各种支持进行了大幅配给。分析主要集中在对英国大曼彻斯特地区少数民族背景的老年人和支持他们的社区组织的定性访谈数据。研究结果表明,生活费用危机对黑人、亚裔和其他少数民族老年人的影响尤为深远,他们往往更加贫穷,住房质量较低,养老金较少,健康状况也往往较差。少数族裔面临的不平等是由根深蒂固的结构性和制度性种族主义和种族歧视造成的,导致他们在无保障和低薪就业、过度拥挤的住房和贫困社区中的比例过高。本文认为,由于不平等现象,少数族裔群体在高通胀和经济停滞的情况下面临的风险更大,因此他们对英国生活成本上升的感受并不一致。最后,本文建议,由于未来几年老年人口的种族将更加多样化,随着老年人口的多样化,解决老年群体之间的不平等问题应成为优先事项。

Active labour market policies (ALMP) have faced challenges in integrating marginalised groups into the workforce. This study explores perceptions among managers and frontline workers on enhancing work inclusion for neurodiverse citizens, marginalised youth, and individuals suffering from mental health or substance use disorders in a troubled city district. An examination of dialogue conferences and group interviews uncovers problems with current practises, attitudes, and service organisation. The proposed local solutions primarily include improved coordination of support and services, as well as enhanced competence within these services. Our results indicate that co‐creation at the system, organisation, and individual levels, coupled with expanded knowledge translation, can mobilise local actors to create new or adopt existing knowledge‐based strategies. Therefore, local co‐creation presents a potential for developing local inclusion strategies.
积极劳动力市场政策(ALMP)在将边缘化群体纳入劳动力队伍方面面临挑战。本研究探讨了在一个问题重重的城市地区,管理人员和一线工人对提高神经多样性公民、边缘化青年以及患有精神疾病或药物使用障碍的个人的工作包容性的看法。通过对话会议和小组访谈发现了当前实践、态度和服务组织中存在的问题。建议的本地解决方案主要包括改善支持和服务的协调,以及提高这些服务的能力。我们的研究结果表明,在系统、组织和个人层面上的共同创造,再加上扩大知识转化,可以动员当地参与者创造新的或采用现有的基于知识的战略。因此,地方共创为制定地方包容性战略提供了潜力。

Addressing hardship and climate change: Citizens' perceptions of costs of living, social inequalities and priorities for policy 应对困难和气候变化:公民对生活成本、社会不平等和政策优先事项的看法

In the wake of rising energy prices and the cost of living crisis, some have claimed that climate policies are at odds with citizens' more pressing everyday living concerns. Critics challenge these simplifying narratives that shorter term economic and social wellbeing priorities and ‘longer term’ decarbonization policies are in tension with one another and argue that effective policies must treat them as interconnected. Evidence regarding how citizens think about climate policy mostly focus on policy acceptability, highlighting the role of perceptions of effectiveness and fairness, but there is a quite limited conceptualization of contexts of social inequality, and even more limited engagement with the views of marginalized groups whose buy‐in is seen as crucial for effective net zero transitions. This paper reviews the evidence and analyses new data from a small exploratory study with citizens from low income and marginalized backgrounds. In group discussions several participants emphasized the importance of tackling both social hardships and climate priorities, seen by some as interlinked. Further, many described wider societal unfairness relating to experiences of poverty, exploitation, a lack of voice or even recognition and a keen sense of disconnect between politics and their own everyday concerns and lived experiences. I argue that climate policy making should engage more fully with contexts of social inequality and that social wellbeing and systematic action on climate change need to be treated by policy makers and politicians as profoundly interlinked challenges.
在能源价格上涨和生活成本危机之后,一些人声称气候政策与公民更迫切的日常生活问题相抵触。批评者质疑这些简单化的说法,即短期的经济和社会福利优先事项与 "长期 "的去碳化政策相互矛盾,并认为有效的政策必须将两者视为相互关联的。有关公民如何看待气候政策的证据大多集中在政策的可接受性上,强调了有效性和公平性观念的作用,但对社会不平等背景的概念化却相当有限,对边缘化群体观点的参与则更为有限,而这些群体的认同被认为对有效的净零过渡至关重要。本文回顾了相关证据,并分析了一项针对低收入和边缘化背景公民的小型探索性研究的新数据。在小组讨论中,一些与会者强调了解决社会困难和气候优先事项的重要性,有些人认为这两者是相互关联的。此外,许多人描述了与贫困、剥削、缺乏发言权甚至得不到认可的经历有关的更广泛的社会不公平现象,并强烈地感觉到政治与他们自己的日常关注和生活经历之间的脱节。我认为,气候政策的制定应更充分地考虑社会不平等的背景,政策制定者和政治家应将社会福祉和气候变化的系统性行动视为相互关联的重大挑战。

Critics challenge these simplifying narratives that shorter term economic and social wellbeing priorities and ‘longer term’ decarbonization policies are in tension with one another and argue that effective policies must treat them as interconnected. Evidence regarding how citizens think about climate policy mostly focus on policy acceptability, highlighting the role of perceptions of effectiveness and fairness, but there is a quite limited conceptualization of contexts of social inequality, and even more limited engagement with the views of marginalized groups whose buy‐in is seen as crucial for effective net zero transitions. This paper reviews the evidence and analyses new data from a small exploratory study with citizens from low income and marginalized backgrounds. In group discussions several participants emphasized the importance of tackling both social hardships and climate priorities, seen by some as interlinked. Further, many described wider societal unfairness relating to experiences of poverty, exploitation, a lack of voice or even recognition and a keen sense of disconnect between politics and their own everyday concerns and lived experiences. I argue that climate policy making should engage more fully with contexts of social inequality and that social wellbeing and systematic action on climate change need to be treated by policy makers and politicians as profoundly interlinked challenges.","PeriodicalId":47858,"journal":{"name":"Social Policy & Administration","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141944487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a range of actors respond to poverty in the cost of living crisis, this paper addresses a long‐standing blind spot in social policy analysis by examining the role that corporations are playing in voluntary responses in the UK. To do this the paper introduces theories of corporate power to extend approaches to researching mixed economies of welfare, which have traditionally looked at the role of commercial entities principally in terms of their role alongside other actors in the welfare state. Building on existing food charity research, which has explored the dynamics and implications of corporate‐food charity relationships, this paper applies theories of corporate power to an analysis of the food charity related activities of the top 20 leading food retailers and casual dining brands in the UK. The analysis reveals how UK corporations exercised instrumental, structural and discursive forms of power to influence policy, set agendas and norms within food and charity systems and frame issues of food charity and hunger. The paper illustrates how a corporate power framework can add important layers to social policy analyses of mixed economies of welfare, by introducing a focus not just on operational aspects of corporate involvement, but also on the impact these corporations might be having on policy, how they are shaping the structure of welfare and the drivers of poverty through agenda setting in their markets, and the ways in which corporations influence public perceptions of social policy issues and how best to respond to them.
随着一系列参与者对生活成本危机中的贫困问题做出回应,本文通过研究企业在英国自愿回应中扮演的角色,解决了社会政策分析中长期存在的一个盲点。为此,本文引入了企业权力理论,以扩展研究福利混合经济的方法,传统上,研究商业实体的作用主要是从它们在福利国家中与其他行动者并肩作战的角度进行的。现有的食品慈善研究探讨了企业与食品慈善关系的动态和影响,本文在此基础上,将企业权力理论应用于对英国前 20 家领先食品零售商和休闲餐饮品牌的食品慈善相关活动的分析。分析揭示了英国企业如何行使工具性、结构性和话语形式的权力来影响政策,在食品和慈善体系中制定议程和规范,以及如何构建食品慈善和饥饿问题的框架。本文说明了企业权力框架如何能够为福利混合经济的社会政策分析增加重要的层次,它不仅关注企业参与的运作方面,还关注这些企业可能对政策产生的影响,它们如何通过在其市场中制定议程来塑造福利结构和贫困的驱动因素,以及企业如何影响公众对社会政策问题的看法和如何最好地应对这些问题。
