Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.
Written by James Midgley, a leading authority on international social policy and social development, this Advanced Introduction offers a concise, readable and wide-ranging overview of how protection schemes such as social assistance, social insurance, employer mandates and social allowances promote social welfare by meeting peoples’ income needs and improving their living standards. It defines the field, traces its historical evolution, discusses the contribution of theories and ideologies and examines its impact on poverty.
Key features include:
Discussion of the impact of social protection on incomes and living standards and considers the role of social protection in the economy, politics and society
Examination of the role of theories and ideologies in social protection
A global perspective with a special focus on social protection in the Global South
An accessible analysis of the challenges facing social protection and the way these are being dealt with.
This perceptive Advanced Introduction will be an excellent resource for both graduates and undergraduates studying public and social policy, economics and the social sciences. It will also be a useful guide for civil servants and officials in international agencies as well as social protection practitioners in non-profits and community organizations.
