Social inclusion for whom and towards what end? A critical discourse analysis of youth and sport policies in Turkey

This article examines the social inclusion policy strategies of the Turkish Ministry of Youth and Sport (MYS). Using a critical discourse analysis, based on Norman Fairclough’s work (2012), the aim is to analyse the discourses used within policy-related documents regarding social inclusion, youth, and sport. In order to achieve this objective, we analysed 15 key documents, including annual activity reports, national youth and sport policy documents, and strategic plans produced by the Ministry. Findings revealed that the dominant discourses about young people seem to be embedded within neoliberal and neoconservative ideologies in which depoliticised notions of ‘employment/apprenticeship’ and ‘the family’ are put forward as solutions for the social inclusion of young people. However, such a discourse risks further sustaining the social exclusion of youth, denying their full citizenship.     

高等学校法人内部的困惑与矛盾分析

建立现代大学制度的核心是实施法人治理,协调处理好高等学校法人的内外部关系。高等学校是一个利益共同体,在现行法律法规框架下,其内部各利益主体间的关系中存在着党政领导制度"预设"的矛盾、学术权利与行政权力的冲突以及学校权力与教师权利、学生权力(利)的内部矛盾。高等学校法人内部的困惑与矛盾成因有制度性因素,也有科层制模式下内部权力结构与运行上的问题。正确认识和分析高等学校法人内部的困惑与矛盾,实施法人治理是现代大学建设必然的路径选择。

开放经济视角下的金融发展对城乡收入差距的影响

文章运用1998-2010年省际数据考察开放经济背景下金融发展对城乡收入差距的影响.实证研究发现:对外开放对缩小居民收入差距所发挥的作用有限,而金融发展则进一步扩大了城乡收入差距;同时,政府财政支出、经济增长率等因素也在一定程度上对拉大城乡收入差距起到了助推作用.从城镇化发展来看,中西部地区城镇化发展有助于缩小居民收入差距.对此,本文提出两条建议:改善城乡间的公共资源配置;加大对农村地区的扶持力度,实现城乡间协调发展.     

中国人口的不确定性研究

文章对2000年人口普查所反映的生育水平、出生性别比和人口年龄结构等主要人口指标存在的不确定性进行了梳理,并运用概率人口预测方法系统讨论了中国未来人口变动趋势过程中相关人口变量的不确定性问题。结果显示,当前对中国生育率水平、出生性别比和低龄儿童人口数量的估计都存在很大的差异。这些差异直接影响中国人口目前和未来的不确定性。     

Ist Das Normalarbeitsverhältnis Noch Armutsvermeidend?

The article tests the hypothesis that welfare state retrenchment and labor market deregulation have increased poverty within the German working population using a time series of poverty ratios based on different income concepts for a period of 14 years (1991–2004). The basic assumption is that changes in the societal context (welfare state, labor market, houschold structures), besides individual risk factors, explain the development of poverty over time. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study it is shown that changing labor market conditions and tax regulations have increased poverty, and this has not been attenuated by additional income sources (welfare state, household members) or by recent changes in household composition. As a result, poverty has increased for full-time employees during the observation period, especially so in Eastern Germany.
