UK policy discourse presents technology as a solution to challenges facing care services, including issues of quality and the mismatch between care workforce supply and demand. This discourse characterises technology as ‘transformative’, homogenous and wholly positive for care delivery, eliding the diversity of digital devices and systems and their varied uses. Our paper draws on data gathered through 34 interviews with care sector stakeholders and four in-depth case studies of UK homecare providers to comparatively analyse ‘storylines’ of technological solutions expressed by policy (macro-level), sector stakeholders (meso-level) and homecare managers and care workers (micro-level) alongside enacted experiences of technology-in-use. The ‘storylines’ presented by care sector stakeholders and homecare managers converged with those of the policy discourse, emphasising technology’s capacity to enhance quality and efficiency. Our case studies however highlighted several implications for care work and organisational practice in homecare provision: the technologies we observed sometimes produced additional tasks and responsibilities, undermining the efficiency and quality storylines. The experiences of care providers and workers engaging with technologies in homecare warrant further investigation and greater prominence to challenge a discourse which is at times overly simplistic and optimistic.
英国的政策话语将技术作为解决护理服务面临的挑战的解决方案,包括质量问题和护理劳动力供需之间的不匹配。这种论述将技术描述为“变革性的”、同质的、对医疗服务完全积极的,忽略了数字设备和系统的多样性及其各种用途。我们的论文借鉴了通过对护理部门利益相关者的34次访谈和对英国家庭护理提供者的四个深入案例研究收集的数据,以比较分析政策(宏观层面)、部门利益相关者(中观层面)、家庭护理经理和护理工作者(微观层面)以及技术使用的制定经验所表达的技术解决方案的“故事情节”。护理部门利益相关者和家庭护理管理者提出的“故事情节”与政策话语相融合,强调技术提高质量和效率的能力。然而,我们的案例研究强调了对家庭护理工作和组织实践的几点影响:我们观察到的技术有时会产生额外的任务和责任,破坏了效率和质量。护理提供者和工人在家庭护理中使用技术的经验值得进一步调查和更突出地挑战有时过于简单化和乐观的话语。

The legitimacy of welfare state institutions is a key question in public policy research. In this study we examine population’s confidence in child protection systems, the role of institutional context and moral alignment. Analysing representative samples of survey data (N=6,043) of citizens in six European countries (Czechia, England, Finland, Norway, Poland and Romania), we find that overall people express confidence in their child protection system. Differences between populations are correlated with institutional context, i.e. the type of child protection system in place – that is, if people live in a country with a risk-oriented system or a family service-oriented system. People’s view on their moral alignment with the system (or not) only shows minor differences in support of interventions. However, a tendency towards polarisation is detected in Finland and Norway with clear differences in support of interventions that restrict parental rights: individuals who state they are in alignment with the system favour stronger interventions than those who say they are not.
福利国家制度的合法性是公共政策研究中的一个关键问题。在本研究中,我们研究了人口对儿童保护系统的信心,制度背景和道德一致性的作用。我们分析了六个欧洲国家(捷克、英国、芬兰、挪威、波兰和罗马尼亚)公民的代表性调查数据样本(N= 6043),发现总体上人们对他们的儿童保护系统表示信心。人口之间的差异与体制背景有关,即现有儿童保护系统的类型,也就是说,人们生活在一个以风险为导向的系统或以家庭为服务的系统的国家。人们对自己与制度的道德一致性(或不一致性)的看法在支持干预方面只显示出微小的差异。然而,在芬兰和挪威发现了两极分化的趋势,在支持限制父母权利的干预措施方面存在明显差异:声称自己与系统保持一致的个人比那些声称自己不一致的人更倾向于更强有力的干预措施。

Scholars have argued that negative attitudes toward government inhibit support for redistributive policies, while other studies show that individual attitudes toward the rich and the poor shape support for redistribution. How these individual attitudes relate to support for redistribution together has seldom been examined. Using the third round of the Life in Transition Survey (fielded in 2016, including 29 countries transitioning from communism) and outcome variables that tap into general attitudes about closing the income gap between the rich and the poor and willingness to pay more to help the needy, we examine how individual attitudes toward government, as well as the rich and the poor are associated with support for redistribution (final analyzed sample n > 23,700). Using logit multivariate regression analysis, we find that trust in government institutions and perceptions of public corruption are associated with certain redistributive attitudes, while individual attitudes toward the rich and the poor are consistently associated with both the general beliefs that income gaps in the country should be reduced and individual levels of willingness to pay more to help the needy.
学者们认为,对政府的消极态度抑制了对再分配政策的支持,而其他研究表明,个人对富人和穷人的态度决定了对再分配的支持。这些个人态度如何与支持再分配联系在一起,很少被研究。利用第三轮转型生活调查(2016年开展,包括从共产主义转型的29个国家)和结果变量,我们研究了个人对政府的态度,以及富人和穷人对再分配支持的态度(最终分析样本为23,700)。这些变量涉及缩小贫富收入差距的普遍态度,以及支付更多钱帮助有需要的人的意愿。使用logit多元回归分析,我们发现对政府机构的信任和对公共腐败的看法与某些再分配态度有关,而个人对富人和穷人的态度始终与国家收入差距应该缩小的普遍信念和个人支付更多钱帮助有需要的人的意愿水平相关。

Between left and right: A discourse network analysis of Universal Basic Income on Dutch Twitter 在左与右之间:荷兰Twitter上全民基本收入的话语网络分析

Universal Basic Income (UBI) found its way back to media and policy agendas, presented as an alternative to the social investment policies omnipresent in Europe. In spite of the apparent appeal, however, UBI faces a discursive and political stalemate that seems hard to overcome. In an attempt to understand this tension, we explore the discursive coalitions surrounding UBI in a debate on Dutch Twitter. We use discourse network analysis to (a) cluster discussants endorsing similar positions and (b) see which political elites endorse these positions. We find that the known schism between the liberal and egalitarian interpretations of UBI is driven by ambivalence towards its redistributive implications. Moreover, we observe a turn towards social investment frames amongst UBI advocates, who centrally argue that UBI is activating and deregulating social security. This change in framing, however, seems to have little visible impact on elite coalition formation. Green-left elites remain overrepresented amongst proponents, while liberal and conservatives are opposed, and the socialist party remains divided on the issue. Thus, while the implementation of a ‘full’ UBI seems blocked by redistributive concerns, the social investment turn may be the political compromise that explains the popular appeal and political success of UBI inspired experiments.
全民基本收入(UBI)重新回到了媒体和政策议程中,被视为欧洲无所不在的社会投资政策的替代方案。然而,尽管UBI具有明显的吸引力,但它面临着一个似乎难以克服的话语和政治僵局。为了理解这种紧张关系,我们在荷兰Twitter上的一场辩论中探讨了围绕UBI的话语联盟。我们使用话语网络分析(a)聚集支持类似立场的讨论者,(b)查看哪些政治精英支持这些立场。我们发现,对全民基本收入的自由主义和平等主义解释之间的已知分歧,是由对其再分配影响的矛盾心理所驱动的。此外,我们观察到UBI倡导者转向社会投资框架,他们集中认为UBI正在激活和解除对社会保障的管制。然而,这种框架上的变化似乎对精英联盟的形成没有什么明显的影响。在支持者中,绿左派精英的比例仍然过高,而自由派和保守派则持反对态度,而社会党在这个问题上仍存在分歧。因此,虽然“全面”UBI的实施似乎受到再分配问题的阻碍,但社会投资转向可能是一种政治妥协,解释了UBI启发实验的大众吸引力和政治成功。

A safety net for all? – Vignette-based assessments of Swedish social assistance over three decades 人人共享的安全网三十年来瑞典社会援助的Vignette评估

Swedish welfare is often characterized as comprehensive and generous. Social assistance constitutes the final safety net in the Swedish model. Unlike most other benefits, eligibility and subsidy levels are here subject to extensive means-testing, with eligibility determined by individual caseworkers. In this article, we explore the extent to which eligibility determination and generosity of benefits have changed in social assistance assessments over three decades, relating these to changes in regulations over the same period. The article presents data from three independent vignette studies conducted in the mid-1990s, mid-2000s and in 2018 respectively. The data consist of assessments of a total of six vignettes, made by individual caseworkers (n=1 337). The results indicate that overall generosity in social assistance has decreased considerably over the last 25 years and that, despite both national and local initiatives to reduce individual variation in assessments, disparities have instead increased.
瑞典的福利通常以全面和慷慨著称。社会援助构成瑞典模式的最后安全网。与大多数其他福利不同,这里的资格和补贴水平取决于广泛的经济状况调查,资格由个别社会工作者决定。在本文中,我们探讨了30年来社会援助评估中资格确定和福利慷慨程度的变化程度,并将这些变化与同期法规的变化联系起来。这篇文章介绍了分别在20世纪90年代中期、21世纪头十年中期和2018年进行的三项独立小插曲研究的数据。数据包括对个别个案工作者(n=1 337)所做的总共6个小插曲的评估。结果表明,在过去25年中,社会援助的总体慷慨程度大大减少,尽管国家和地方都采取主动行动减少分摊方面的个别差异,但差距反而扩大了。

Class Conflict or Consensus? Understanding Social Partner Positions on Social Policy Reforms 阶级冲突还是共识?理解社会伙伴在社会政策改革中的立场

This paper addresses the positions of unions and employer associations towards the level of unemployment benefits and active labour market policy (ALMP). These are prominent examples of social compensation and social investment policies respectively. The new dataset ‘Reform Monitor on Political Conflict’ (ReMoPo) is based on expert interviews and a systematic text analysis of all relevant press releases. Over a time-span of 14 years (2000-2014) the data clearly shows conflict between social partners on the level of unemployment benefits whilst there is consensus towards ALMP. I show that, for unemployment benefits, different motivations do lead to different positions. However, for ALMP, different motivations combine with overlapping interests, resulting in a common positive stance. The main theoretical implications of these findings were two-fold: firstly, the type of organisation does not predict positioning on welfare state issues, whereas pragmatic considerations do. Secondly, I suspect that the divergence of motivational factors combined with a consensus towards particular measures is specific to the concept of social investment. This is because social investments (training and qualification measures in this case) were expected to have the most far-reaching and long-lasting positive effects on both individuals and companies and were therefore supported by unions and employer associations.
本文阐述了工会和雇主协会对失业救济金水平和积极劳动力市场政策的立场。这些分别是社会补偿和社会投资政策的突出例子。新的数据集“政治冲突改革监测”(ReMoPo)基于专家访谈和对所有相关新闻稿的系统文本分析。在14年(2000-2014年)的时间跨度内,数据清楚地显示了社会伙伴之间在失业救济金水平上的冲突,同时对ALMP达成了共识。我表明,对于失业救济金,不同的动机确实会导致不同的职位。然而,对于ALMP来说,不同的动机与重叠的利益相结合,导致了共同的积极立场。这些发现的主要理论含义有两个方面:首先,组织类型不能预测福利国家问题的定位,而务实的考虑可以预测。其次,我怀疑动机因素的差异与对特定措施的共识相结合,是社会投资概念特有的。这是因为社会投资(在这种情况下是培训和资格认证措施)预计将对个人和公司产生最深远和最持久的积极影响,因此得到工会和雇主协会的支持。

Horses for Courses: Subject Differences in the Chances of Securing Different Types of Graduate Jobs in the UK 课程之马:在英国获得不同类型毕业生工作机会的学科差异

Analysis of the 2010/11 Longitudinal Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey shows that overly-simplistic conceptions of graduate success underestimate the value of obtaining a degree in some subjects. Using a skills-based classification of graduate jobs the research finds that maths and vocationally-oriented subjects associated with higher earnings returns (Belfield et al., 2018a, 2018b) – engineering, architecture, computer science and nursing – increase the chances of having an ‘Expert’ job compared to the average for all graduates. However, more generalist subjects that have been linked with lower earnings such as creative arts, languages and mass communication and documentation are better for accessing graduate jobs where creativity and ability to communicate is key. The research demonstrates the value of using a more nuanced conception of graduate jobs and shows that debate about the value of higher education needs to move away from a narrow focus on earnings.
对2010/11年度高等教育毕业生纵向目的地调查的分析表明,过于简单化的毕业生成功概念低估了获得某些学科学位的价值。通过对毕业生工作进行基于技能的分类,研究发现,与所有毕业生的平均水平相比,与较高收入回报相关的数学和职业导向科目(Belfield et al.,2018a,2018b)——工程、建筑、计算机科学和护理——增加了获得“专家”工作的机会。然而,与低收入相关的多面手科目,如创意艺术、语言、大众传播和文献,更适合获得创造力和沟通能力至关重要的研究生工作。这项研究证明了对毕业生工作使用更细致的概念的价值,并表明关于高等教育价值的辩论需要摆脱对收入的狭隘关注。

The research demonstrates the value of using a more nuanced conception of graduate jobs and shows that debate about the value of higher education needs to move away from a narrow focus on earnings.","PeriodicalId":51438,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44102971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literature on social policy expansion and retrenchment in Latin America is vast, but scholars differ in how they explain outcomes, arriving at different conclusions about the role of democracy, left parties, favorable economic conditions, and social movements. What can welfare state developments since the end of the commodity boom teach us about the theoretical power of these arguments? This paper engages this question, seeking to explain recent incidents of successful social policy reform in 10 presidential administrations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. Using a combination of crisp-set qualitative comparative analysis (csQCA) and case studies, we identify multiple paths toward successful social policy expansion and retrenchment. The QCA results highlight two key findings. First, social policy expansion was generally carried out by programmatic parties (often, though not always, from the left). Second, retrenchment is most likely when nonprogrammatic right parties face fiscal constraints. The case studies affirm these findings and show that differences in electoral competition, social movement pressure, and policy legacies shape the contexts in which expansion and retrenchment is feasible. The results provide new insight into social policy reform, underscoring the relevance of complex forms of causality.
关于拉丁美洲社会政策扩张和紧缩的文献大量,但学者们在如何解释结果方面存在分歧,对民主、左翼政党、有利的经济条件和社会运动的作用得出了不同的结论。自大宗商品繁荣结束以来,福利国家的发展能告诉我们这些论点的理论力量吗?本文探讨了这个问题,试图解释最近阿根廷、巴西、智利和乌拉圭的10位总统政府中成功的社会政策改革事件。结合脆集定性比较分析(csQCA)和案例研究,我们确定了通往成功的社会政策扩张和收缩的多种途径。QCA的结果突出了两个关键发现。首先,社会政策的扩张通常是由纲领性政党实施的(通常是左翼政党,尽管并非总是如此)。其次,当非规划的右翼政党面临财政约束时,紧缩最有可能发生。案例研究证实了这些发现,并表明在选举竞争、社会运动压力和政策遗留方面的差异决定了扩张和收缩的可行性。研究结果为社会政策改革提供了新的见解,强调了复杂形式因果关系的相关性。
