| Inhalt |
Social policy is one of the most important governmental tasks for social cohesion. It accompanies us throughout the entire life cycle and shows strong interdependencies with the labor market. At the same time, many states face challenges in financing social spending. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of social policy: from birth to death.The lecture is divided into four parts. The first part lays the groundwork. Goals and measures of social policy will be pointed out. At the same time, the needs of social policy are highlighted by elaborating on inequality, poverty, and social mobility. The second part deals with the relationship between social policy and the labor market, including unemployment insurance, welfare programs, parental leave, and wage protection. The third part focuses on social policy over an individual’s lifecycle. It covers the economics of education, the impact of marital status, and the significance of old-age pensions. In the last part, the future challenges of social policy will be discussed. Throughout the course, the latest empirical evidence from social policy research will be incorporated. Whenever possible, the Swiss situation will be addressed, always taking a comparative view with other countries. |
