Jadwigi Berbeki - Social Cohesion in European Union Countries In years 1995–2003
The aim of the article was the evaluation of social cohesion in countries of the “old” European Union in years 1995–2003. An own method of social cohesion quantification was applied. The final ranging was based on 3 indexes: (1) index of living standard, (2) index of income inequality; (3) index of poverty. For assessing living standard, understood as: the level of meeting the needs of the population resulting from consumption of the man-made material goods and services as well as from using the natural and social environment, one of the taxonomic method was used – the method of the pattern of development. Two indexes of income inequality were suggested: s80/s20 income quintile share ratio and Gini coefficient. The poverty was estimated by the share of persons with an equivalised disposable income below the risk-of-poverty threshold, which is set at 60% of the national median equivalised disposable income (after social transfers). The final evaluation of social cohesion level was based on the sum of ranges reached by indicators pointed above.
Bartosza Pielińskiego - The Art of adjustement. Social Policy In Singapore
Despite that Singapore is one of the most opened economies in the world and it has a very low level of the public expenditure on social security and welfare, it also has very sophisticated social policy system. It is consisted of three main institutions (Central Provident Fund, Housing Development Board and National Wages Council) which allow the Singaporean government not only to resolve some social problems but also to control the political system, the wage structure and the housing market of the island. The main characteristics of the social policy in Singapore are: extort thriftiness, flexibility and cooperation with foreign capital. Because the social policy in Singapore has been shaped by the economic openness and some elements of democracy, it is allowed to say that the future shape of the welfare mix in many others countries will be similar to the Singaporean institutional pattern.
