A social policy is a decision made by public or governmental authorities, regarding the assignment and allocation of resources, rights, and responsibilities, expressed in laws and governmental regulations. A social policy is created when a legislative body enacts a law, usually at the national level but in some cases, at the regional or city level. Once the law is enacted, high-level government officials and various governmental legal departments will usually prepare a set of rules and regulations that clarify the provisions of the law and describe in detail how the law is to be implemented. Lawmakers and government officials formulate policies on a wide variety of topics. Thus, there are public policies on international relations, economics, the tax structure, the military, environmental safety, education and the like. For the most part, social policies address issues related to the social well-being of people within society. Social policies focus on such concerns as marriage, divorce, adoption, domestic abuse, the special needs of the elderly, juvenile delinquency, mental health, discrimination against minority groups, training and job opportunities for the disadvantaged, economic assistance to the poor, availability of the affordable housing, immigration, and other similar concerns. The term social welfare policy is often applied to those social policies that focus primarily on the distribution of economic benefits to those in need (e.g. public assistance, food stamps, subsidized housing, subsidized health care, or subsidized child care). Clearly, the vast majority of social policies are public policies. However, some social policies fall into the category that can be called private social welfare policy (nongovernmental social policy). In this category are the national-level policies of large private agencies, the policies of fund-raising organizations and policies formulated by community-wide social welfare planning bodies. The European commission on unification of social policies distinguishes two different types of social welfare policy. The first, known as the Bismarck policy (named after its founder, the German chancellor Bismarck), links social support to work performance and record. Social benefits are earned through lifetime contributions into the welfare system. Social security payments are made out of insurance funds, managed jointly by employers and employees. It is also believed that these funds should not receive support from the budget. Underprivileged households can benefit from national solidarity plans, implemented through local welfare agencies or charitable organizations. The second type, known as the Beveridge plan, is based on the right of every individual to social support in the event of an illness, retirement, or in any other circumstances that limit their ability to provide for themselves. The countries that have chosen this system have mandatory disability insurance plans and provide the elderly with so-called “social pensions,” as opposed to “professional pensions.” Funding for such a system comes through taxation. The Beveridge plan is thus based on national solidarity and equitable distribution of benefits. жүктеу/скачать 264,17 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
