社会转型期农村居民集体观和个人观的社会学分析——对6省市2012人调查结果的阐释

通过对6省(市)农村居民进行的问卷调查结果的分析,认为在当前社会转型期,我国农村居民的集体观念比较强,体现了传统的价值观念和行为方式在农村居民身上的延续;同时,农村居民的个人观念有明显的增强的趋势,反映了现代社会因素对传统观念的冲击。因此,重新解读集体和个人的关系显得格外重要。     

个人教育投资的风险收益测度

将教育资本分解成受教育程度和职业的各种组合,借鉴Markowiz的有效投资组合理论,计算Mincer收入方程中扰动项的均值—标准差来衡量投资风险收益,以此建立中国教育投资风险和收益之间的平衡关系,并且利用F检验衡量投资组合的均值方差张成。结果表明,有效的教育资本组合不仅与所接受教育程度有关,还与未来职业选择有关。在以受教育程度为高中和中等职业的基础上,高中(06)可以张成其他全部14个投资组合的均值方差边界。因此,个体和政府在进行教育投资时,都需要全面衡量投资组合的风险收益平衡问题。     

Moving On From Supportive Housing (MOSH): Development and evaluation of a transitional skill-building curriculum for providers helping residents exit homeless services

This article describes the development and evaluation of MOSH (Moving On From Supportive Housing), a transitional skill-building curriculum for providers helping residents exit homeless services to mainstream housing without embedded supports. In this evaluation, we assess the feasibility, acceptability, fit, and potential efficacy of the MOSH curriculum to improve proximal provider-level outcomes, including self-efficacy to provide MOSH-related independent living skills and supports. Homeless-services providers (N = 49) from a range of programs and settings participated in the training. Findings from focus groups and pre- and posttest surveys indicate high levels of overall satisfaction with the training. The majority of trainees perceived the training to be useful to their work and potentially useful for service recipients, felt the training would fit well within their existing day-to-day work, and said they were very likely to use MOSH skills in such work. Statistically significant improvements in self-efficacy regarding all skills but one were also found. MOSH holds promise as an intervention that can enhance provider practice and promotion of independent living skills in homeless services. Although these initial findings on MOSH are encouraging, further research will be needed to evaluate provider knowledge gains and effective use of these skills in practice.     

Experiences of homelessness by people seeking asylum in Australia: A review of published and “grey” literature

This review examines the current published and “grey” literature relating to the experiences of homelessness by people seeking asylum within Australia. While many people seeking asylum have experienced homelessness during their flight, inadequate and unaffordable housing are a feature of the settlement experience for a large number of new arrivals to Australia, putting at risk their successful settlement. This study aims to explore the factors influencing access to stable housing. A systematic review of the academic literature and a search of the grey literature identified 11 articles and 20 documents related to homelessness and people seeking asylum in Australia. The academic literature included a variety of methods and approaches to the investigation of the experience of homelessness in Australia. The grey literature was more practice based, including evaluation and research reports, submissions, and newsletters. Findings suggest that experiences of homelessness are multifaceted and have a range of influences, including policy, financial stress, lack of access to education and employment, and a lack of affordable and suitable housing. Any solutions to address homelessness need to be similarly diverse. Discrimination from real estate agents and employers was also identified as a barrier to housing for many people seeking asylum, an issue that will need to be addressed at a systematic level. The lack of research published in the academic literature means that although there may be some programmes or solutions operating in the community, as demonstrated in the grey literature, this information is not being shared beyond organisation websites or subscriber lists, resulting in a lack of coherency or sharing of solutions. This review highlights the need for further attention to the factors influencing homelessness in asylum seekers, the experience of homelessness, and how these can be addressed by government and non-government led strategies and policy development.     

Dual conditionality in welfare and housing for lone parents in Ireland: Change and continuity?

This article focuses on multiple conditionalities in benefits and housing from the perspective of lone parents in Ireland. The Irish case echoes historical experiences elsewhere and is offered not as an exceptional or extreme case but as an in-depth single case study and a lens for comparison. Although contemporary forms and combinations of conditionalities are new to Ireland, the experience of multiple conditionalities in benefits and housing is not new. Hence, a historical perspective is used to examine contemporary multiple conditionalities in benefits and housing. In the past, conditional regimes for lone parents were justified in terms of moral reformation for first time mothers and avoiding moral contagion of mothers with subsequent pregnancies. In contemporary times, in the case of employment, lone parents are problematised as working part-time and “nesting” on in-work-benefits, and in the case of homelessness, lone parents who prioritise the security of tenure embedded in social housing are accused of “gaming” the system. While acknowledging ambiguities, the paper finds the overlap of welfare and housing discourses contribute, intentionally or unintentionally, to epistemological foundations or understandings of lone parents, shifting public perceptions, and framing them as “problems” to be solved. They simultaneously temper lone parents' expectations. Increased precarity and disempowerment is associated with dual conditionality, and ontological uncertainty is multiplied when experienced cumulatively across employment, social protection, and housing regimes in a context of generally poor public services and labour market precarity and in the historical context of stigmatisation. Nonetheless, lone parents demonstrate considerable agency.     

基于平均电价的在线电动汽车充电排程定价机制

考虑在一个区域内单个充电站为多辆电动汽车(充电顾客)提供充电服务的排程与定价问题.充电顾客的排程(排序)有三种可选择的机制,即从高到低将待充电顾客按下列准则进行排序:1)顾客充电的总报价;2)顾客充电的单位报价;3)顾客在当前时间点之前已充电量的价值.基于上述充电排程机制,提出了一种基于顾客已充电量的平均电价且不依赖未来充电需求的定价机制,证明了所提出的排程定价机制具有个体理性和激励兼容特性.与已有的按顾客获得的最后一单位待充电价格进行定价的方法相比,研究发现:在第1)或第2)种排程机制下,所提出的定价机制顾客充电最终支付价格的期望相同,但方差减小;在第3)种排程机制下,所提出的定价机制顾客最终支付价格的期望和方差均减小.算例结果展示了所提出定价机制在减小充电顾客最终支付价格不确定性方面的作用与效果.     

中国个人账户养老基金信托运营管理模式探析

近年来,个人账户养老基金运营管理模式、保值增值问题一直是学者们研究的重点,本文从个人账户养老基金的产权属性出发,通过对个人账户养老基金的管理现状和信托运营模式的优势分析,构建了个人账户养老基金信托运营框架,通过成立个人账户基金管理委员会与个人账户基金监督委员会,辅助其他监管,交由信托公司负责运营,保证了个人账户基金保证增值,并认为应从转变政府角色、构建信托运营的市场环境、坚持"资产组合定量"原则和"审慎人"原则、建立个人账户基金信托信息披露制度和完善法律法规体系五个方面保障信托模式的顺利运营。
