和谐社会视野下的社会保障制度研究——民族地区农村医疗保障制度建设思考

构建和谐社会是新时期党实现第三步战略目标十分重要的执政理念,而和谐社会建立中最严重、最突出的社会矛盾是城乡失衡。欠发达地区更是在地区失衡前提下严重地城乡失衡,双重失衡中内显的民族地区农村医疗保障和农民生存权利更值得引起高度关注。这种现象被描述为"双重失衡中的失衡"。解决严重的"双重失衡中的失衡"问题,必须有各种可供选择的对策。

The effects of rent restructuring on social housing in English rural areas

This paper discusses the impact of central government's rent restructuring policy on social housing in rural areas in England. It examines the effect that restructuring will have on the rents set by social landlords in a set of case study areas then considers some of the likely impacts on affordability and on new investment in rural social housing. One of the primary aims of rent restructuring policy is to reduce unjustifiable differences between the rents of similar dwellings in the local authority and Registered Social Landlord sectors locally. This aim seems likely to be achieved. In doing so, it is likely that affordability will be reduced in the local authority sector but enhanced for tenants of some RSLs. However, the reduction in real RSL rents that improve affordability may further constrain RSLs’ ability to invest in new social housing in rural areas. The paper concludes that rent restructuring by itself will not materially improve the housing prospects of the less well off in rural areas.     

Exploring the current and future role of market towns in servicing their hinterlands: a case study of Alnwick in the North East of England

Faced with the problems of access, distance and low population density, the provision of quality services to rural areas is inherently difficult. Although the role of market towns in alleviating problems in the provision of rural services has been given little consideration within the academic literature, they are currently being targeted by UK government policy. Using a case of the hinterland of Alnwick, a market town in the North East of England, this paper explores the current and future role of market towns in servicing their hinterlands. The results suggest a mutual dependence between market town services and hinterland residents and that the continuation of this relationship depends on market towns taking advantage of demographic trends in rural areas. Faced with changing demographics and the wider use of the Internet, potential is identified for ‘clawing-back’ trade from larger urban areas and creating an enhanced role for market towns. Extending the sense of belonging beyond the boundaries of the town itself will also be important in increasing patronage of town services.

清末民初乡村精英离乡的“新学”教育原因

近代以前 ,中国社会以传统的“旧学”教育一统天下。 190 5年科举制度废除 ,标志着“新学”教育制度在中国最终确立。新式学校的迅猛增加 ,“新学”教育机会的拓宽 ,以及失去往日旧学教育内在社会整合机制的“新学”教育体制 ,为绅士阶层提供了社会流动资源。与此同时 ,近代“新学”教育体制在学堂地域分布、各专业学堂比例、主要教学内容等方面都始终疏离于乡村社会 ,从而进一步加速了乡村精英离乡的步伐。     

Rural poverty and disability in Ethiopia: Formidable policy challenges

Our study aims to deepen our understanding of the links between rural poverty and disability in Ethiopia. We use panel data for Ethiopia to illustrate these linkages, using rigorous econometric methodology. The 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) explicitly recognise disability as a major impediment to elimination of poverty and hunger. In the current development discourse, disability has thus acquired high priority. Since disability is neither a purely medical nor a social phenomenon but an outcome of their interplay, the policy challenges are formidable.
