晏阳初平民教育思想与凉山扶贫对策的研究

本文通过对晏阳初平民教育思想及其乡村建设运动的目标、核心内容和教育方式的阐述,挖掘其平教思想与乡建运动目标“民族再造”的历史使命和意义,探寻其平教思想与乡建运动的“四大教育”核心理念和“三大教育方式”的实践经验,及其对当代新时期新农村建设和扶贫工作的借鉴意义。并对凉山州扶贫工作的历程、现状、成绩及其扶贫政策和扶贫模式进行梳理。探讨凉山州落后地区脱贫困难的原因,借鉴晏阳初平民教育思想及其乡村建设实践的宝贵经验,针对凉山的实际情况,提出以大力发展教育文化事业为主线,突出教育文化、基础建设、产业发展、民生改善和公共服务配套的扶贫对策和具体措施。     

“社会空间”视角下的城市贫困——基于保定市北市区的实地调查

"社会空间"视角是当代西方一种重要的城市问题研究思路,重点关注城市空间的"差异和不平模式",对国内城市贫困问题的研究具有重要参考价值。这一视角下的实地调查表明,在居住空间、日常活动空间和购物空间三个层面,较其他群体,城市贫困居民体现出了一定的空间差异性;进一步考察主体角度的空间认同和抗争,则发现当前社会转型期城市贫困在社会空间层面已经呈现出一些聚集和隔离的趋势。基于此,建议在政府主导下,在城市整体规划和改造过程中兼顾"空间正义",将"民生"和"减贫"纳入到主流日程规划中以应对未来城市社会空间问题。     

论社会工作在临海家庭扶贫中的介入模式及优势——兼析广东“双到”扶贫模式

对临海贫困家庭进行社会工作介入有着特别的学科意义与现实的社会意义。目前行政主导扶贫模式虽有快速脱贫优势,但也有其潜在问题。针对临海家庭具体致贫原因,社会工作拥有多种合适介入模式与工作方法。社会工作专业使命与学科特性决定了社工扶贫模式相对于行政主导扶贫模式而言,无疑是一种集专业性、高效性、长效性等多种优势于一体的社会反贫困机制。走社工扶贫模式的社会扶贫道路是社会发展趋势,也应是中国社会的理性选择。     

论《哲学的贫困》的历史地位及当代价值——纪念《哲学的贫困》发表170周年

《哲学的贫困》是马克思新世界观的第一次公开问世,具有伟大的理论意义与实践价值。《哲学的贫困》在批判普鲁东主义的同时,为马克思发现剩余价值学说奠定了理论基础,为科学社会主义奠定了历史唯物主义基石,为世界工人运动提供了科学的世界观和方法论。《哲学的贫困》阐发的马克思主义原理已有170年,历史证明了马克思主义的真理性。《哲学的贫困》既属于马克思主义的经典时代,又属于当代的中国特色社会主义,具有当代价值。核心要义就是在中国特色社会主义建设中,必须始终坚持和发展马克思主义,坚定道路自信,坚定理论自信,坚定制度自信,坚定文化自信。     

Following Families: Working Lone‐Mother Families and their Children

Analysis of poverty dynamics based on large‐scale survey data shows that there is limited mobility across the income distribution for most individuals and families. This includes lone parents, who are one of the groups most likely to stay poor over time. This high income poverty risk is reduced for those lone parents who are in employment and who receive state financial support through tax credits to supplement their wages. But income security in work can be difficult to achieve. This article reports on longitudinal qualitative research which has involved repeat interviews with lone mothers and their children over a period of three to four years. The analysis explores the experiences of sustaining employment while living on a low, but complex, income and highlights the challenges faced in seeking financial security in this context.     

Effectiveness of Social Welfare Programmes in East Asia: A Case Study of Taiwan

Using the 2008 Family Income and Expenditure Survey, this study examined the effectiveness of social welfare programmes in Taiwan. The empirical evidence shows that most types of social welfare spending were limited in 2008. However, the social welfare programmes that were in place substantially reduced income inequality in Taiwan. Using the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) poverty threshold, the results reveal that 14 per cent of the sample's families were poor in terms of market income, but this figure decreased to 7 per cent after government intervention. Income inequality in Taiwan was similar to that of other East Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, but Taiwan spent much less money on social welfare programmes than OECD countries, and therefore Taiwan's reduction of poverty was much lower as well.     

Absent Role of the State: Analysis of Social Support to Older People with Disabilities in Rural China

China is experiencing rapid population ageing and already has 44 million older people with disabilities aged over 59 years. Yet social support of these older people with disabilities is undeveloped and not well researched. This article contributes by using a disability rights framework (right to life and protection, economic security and social support) to analyze local cases in rural China. It finds that, although the family is still the main provider of economic and care support to rural older people with disabilities, the absence of a state role in welfare provision has negative impacts on the well‐being of older and younger generations in rural families.     

Between Poor Relief and Human Capital Investments – Paradoxes in Hybrid Social Assistance

Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) are often being promoted for their simultaneous advantages of short‐term income protection and long‐term human capital investments. Yet, existing evaluations have largely failed to test the underlying programme theory, and few empirical case studies have explored inherent contradictions and ambiguous consequences of this hybrid approach. To further understand the programmes' social policy implications, this study identifies and analyzes such ambiguities and paradoxical consequences in the case of Uruguay's CCT‐programme, Asignaciones Familiares (AFAM). Drawing on qualitative data from interviews with beneficiaries and members of the commission who designed the programme, this study reveals major paradoxes in AFAM's design and implementation caused by various endogenous factors. Relevant to social policy in general, and CCT‐evaluations in particular, findings also indicate that the hybrid social assistance approach may have perverse effects on the programme's twin objectives.     

贫困缺口总指数的构造、分解与应用

本文构造了一个新贫困指数 ,通过对 指数的因素分解及衍生指数的构造,提出了一些重要贫困指标的预测和推算办法。基于CHNS1991-2011年跨度20年的8轮调查数据进行实证分析,结果表明,我国农村近20年来总贫困缺口率呈现年均6.39%的缩减率,其贡献全部来自贫困人口总规模递减这一因素的影响,而另外两个因素,即平均贫困缺口水平和贫困差异度则呈现年均小幅上升趋势,表明减贫质量不容乐观;以现有减贫模式对我国农村2020年的平均贫困缺口水平、贫困不平等程度、贫困规模等指标进行预测显示,减贫目标依然任重道远;提出了采用精准减贫,重心在于提升贫困人口获取收入的能力和缩小贫困不平等程度的相关建议。     

教育改善贫困效应的地区异质性研究

教育对于增加收入、改善贫困无疑是一个重要的途径。在目前多维贫困越来越受到重视的情况下,本文在收入贫困和多维贫困两种贫困识别标准下,分析了教育改善贫困的效应在地区之间的异质性,考察了该效应是否受地区经济发展的影响。根据分层LOGIT模型的估计,本文认为地区经济发展水平是发挥教育改善收入贫困效应的重要舞台,对于多维贫困的改善效应则不明显。本文得到的一个重要扶贫政策建议是要发挥教育改善贫困的效应,必须注重精准扶贫与发展地区经济相结合;但仅仅发展经济,不一定能保证教育对多维贫困的改善效应,减轻多维贫困需要更加重视公共产品供给和民生保证。
