One step further from detected contradictions in a child welfare unit—a constructive approach to communicate the needs of social work when implementing ICT in social services

Unintended consequences were detected when a new client data system was taken into use in a child welfare unit in the City of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. This paper describes how social work was practiced during this period of change and analyses the phenomena involved. The concept of agency is central in the theoretical frame of this research. The data consist of written documents, participatory observation and the researcher's cooperation with the unit. Based on the data and by using the tools of semiotic sociology, the period of change was described in the form of four intersecting and parallel stories, each with a specific theme. These stories formed the basis for more theorising in which models of action theories were used. The results of this study showed that in the situation of inadequate human resource allocation for social work the data system took on a role of an agent. There was evidence of unintended consequences on the basic task in child welfare as the data system affected the work processes.

利益、博弈与养老金改革:对养老金制度的政治社会学分析

本文运用新多元主义理论探讨养老金改革中的利益博弈和私有化改革的发展趋势。对拉美和中东欧国家的研究表明,养老金的改革得益于其特殊的政治体制、外生行动者的支持和政府的强力推动,而否决点的缺失和社会组织力量的弱小又减少了养老金改革的阻力。但对美国、英国和欧洲的分析表明,由于利益的多元化、否决点的分散,以及强大的工会力量,社会保障私有化的改革困难重重。     

Reconceptualizing the generation in a digital(izing) modernity: digital media,social networking sites,and the flattening of generations

As digitalization binds society to an apparently perpetual acceleration, questions about the nature of time and speed have gained new urgency in the social sciences. Yet, theorizations of these issues have neglected their implications for social life and generations. Linking these lacunae, this article articulates how digital media and social networking sites (SNS) shape social life through cultural transformations in the generation. This article rationalizes predominant patterns of SNS user behaviors in the context of social theoretical and philosophical frameworks informed by Mannheim, Simmel, Adorno, Benjamin, Arendt, social presence, action, and acceleration theories to offer a relational reconceptualization of the generation as a set of social relations and processes for visualizing changing conceptions of time and speed in a digital (izing) modernity. This article introduces the concept of general and local generationing processes to articulate the processual nature of the generation and to assert that trends in SNS use and content production are underwritten by grammatical logics that collectively “flatten” separate traditional generations to form a cross-demographic and cross-temporal digital generation.     

The disembedded digital economy: Social protection for new economy employment in China

This research focuses upon employment in the new economy, exploring labour protection and social protection in the digital age in China. Through an empirical survey conducted in three Chinese cities, social insurance and the labour rights of employees in the digital economic sector, such as gig employment, e-commerce, and various other forms of online employment, have been examined in-depth. This study reveals new regulatory loopholes in the digital labour market, which have substantially eroded the basis of social policy arrangements in China, “softening” participation in social insurance branches and compliance with labour regulations remarkably. Drawing upon the theoretical concepts of Polanyi on embeddedness and disembeddedness, we argue that the digital employment sector in China has been increasingly disembedded from social institutions and social control. The new configuration in the digital field of social policy requires novel conceptual models and institutional settings to cope with increasing social risks in virtual spaces.

数字内容产品消费扩散与模仿的空间模式——基于空间面板模型的计量研究

数字内容产品具有非实物特征,其网络生产与交易几乎不包含地理距离成本,因而企业需要认识其扩散模式,重新制定与传统方式不同的全域营销策略。此研究借助空间面板数据模型,对某类数字内容产品的省级销售数据进行分析,从消费扩散角度检验了其在网络销售过程中存在的空间相关性与空间固定效应。本文的主要实证发现包括,数字内容产品的网络销售并没有因为物理距离的消失而失去其空间相关性,消费者之间的模仿行为是驱动区域内产品扩散的直接动力,此外,相邻区域间的消费存在着同步增长。
