Leaving an Institution in Flanders (Belgium): A Road to Homelessness?

People living in an institution will leave this residential context one day and have to proceed to a stable independent way of living. This transition is not without difficulties as it turns out this socially vulnerable group runs an increased risk of becoming homeless. Research in Flanders (Belgium) has shown that a considerable share of the homeless population has previously stayed in an institutional setting, mostly in youth care (48.7%), psychiatric (34.4%) and penitentiary (33.1%) institutions. Moreover, the share of homeless people with a history in one of these institutions has increased in the past decades. Institution leavers, face at least three obstacles to a stable housing situation in Flanders: a lack of affordable housing, a lack of access to (non-residential) social assistance and personal difficulties in coping with living independently. Yet, there are several programs that support institution leavers and prepare them for the transition to an independent living situation and legal developments that strengthen their position in society and on the housing market. In this paper, we explore these initiatives and developments in three case studies (Antwerp, Ghent and Leuven). Based on in-depth interviews with “street-level bureaucrats” who work in these institutions (youth care, psychiatric and penitentiary settings), social support services and social housing organizations, we reconstruct the pathways of institution leavers to the housing market, the support they receive and the experienced difficulties.     

协动主义下的审理契约论

与诉讼契约有所不同,审理契约之主体范围突破了双方当事人的限制,涵盖了法院。于审理构造而言,审理契约最为重要的就是两造与法官所达成的关于审理计划和争点决定的合意。就诉讼契约的成立与撤回要件、形式、内容及效果等也因种类不同而各异。在协动主义的审理模式下,认可审理契约不仅有助于实现口头辩论的集中化,而且有助于提高审理的计划性,促进审理的高效运营。     

农民的终结与制度安排——以上海市松江区为例

上海远郊的工业化、城市化、非农化发展迅速,农业从业人员大幅减少,工资性收入成为农村居民家庭可支配收入的主体。单纯从生产、生活方式来看,上海远郊已经基本实现"农民的终结"。上海市"三个集中"与"1966城镇体系"发展战略,以及各级政府采取的就业转岗、保障转型、户口转性等制度安排对于引导、保障农民走向终结之路作用显著。反思大都市郊区城镇化的内涵,强化农村社区居民属地市民化,是农民终结后的重要工作。     

Family and Household Formations and Suicide in the United States

Family support systems have been theoretically linked to suicide risk. But no research to date has investigated the effects of detailed living arrangements on individual risk of suicide. Using data on 825,462 adults from the National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality File reveals that living in families with stronger sources of social support and integration decreases risk of suicide. These effects persist despite controls for important individual level characteristics. Risk of suicide decreases for persons in married as well as unmarried families when children are present and risk increases for persons living with unrelated adults. These results reveal the structural importance of family formation on the social integrative forces that contribute to an individual's risk of suicide.

论人力资本的产权特征与企业所有权安排

同非人力资本产权相比 ,人力资本产权具有人力资本与其所有者不可分离、人力资本的价值信息容易隐藏、人力资本必须在其所有者的协作劳动中发挥作用等方面的典型特征 ,这些特征决定了人力资本同非人力资本一样 ,不仅能够承担风险 ,而且还具有可抵押性 ,从而得出了有效率的企业必须实现人力资本所有者与非人力资本所有者共同分享所有权的结论 ,阐释了企业组织形式变化中 ,人力资本逐步得到重视的原因 ,也为经营者股权奖励、职工持股计划等改革方案的实施提供了理论依据。

‘A lad tried to get hold of my boobs,so I kicked him’: an examination of attempts by adults with learning difficulties to initiate their own safeguarding

People with learning difficulties are considerably more likely to experience sexual and other forms of violence than non-disabled people. Nevertheless, several respondents in this study have demonstrated some self-protective competencies. Most knew of their right not to be violated and a number of participants described situations when they had attempted to initiate their own safeguarding. Some had asked others for help with this. However, appropriate assistance was not always provided. This indicates that risk may be aggravated by social barriers. This paper focuses on highlighting the resistance skills that are prevalent amongst some people with learning difficulties. It concludes with suggestions on ways in which individuals may be further supported to realise their potential to play a more active role in directing and regaining their own protection.
