INJ社会福利2010年:中心点中心点:中心点中心点-中心点中心点(C)2010作者(S),期刊汇编(C)2010布莱克韦尔出版有限公司和国际社会福利杂志。本文分析了爱沙尼亚、波兰、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚、捷克共和国和匈牙利自20世纪90年代中期以来失业保险和家庭政策福利的发展和设计及其与健康结果的联系。将这六个转型国家与长期存在的福利民主国家进行比较,可以发现它们在政策和卫生方面的重要相似和不同之处。然而,失业救济金计划在重要方面类似于社团主义计划,覆盖面和平均救济金都较低。转型国家的就业者和失业者的主观幸福感也相对较低。几个转型国家的家庭政策战略混合,同时支持双职工家庭和传统的性别角色。一个明显的例外是斯洛文尼亚,该国拥有高度发达的双职工支持。家庭政策的慷慨与较低的贫困率、婴儿死亡率和儿童伤害率有关。这篇文章展示了在更广泛的福利国家背景下,对社会政策和人口健康之间的联系进行机构分析的丰硕成果。
Int J Soc Welfare 2010: center dot center dot: center dot center dot-center dot center dot (C) 2010 The Author(s), Journal compilation (C) 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and International Journal of Social Welfare.This article analyses the development and design of unemployment insurance and family policy benefits and their links to health outcomes in Estonia, Poland, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Hungary from the mid-1990s. Comparing these six transition countries with long-standing welfare democracies reveals important similarities and differences in policy and health. Unemployment benefit schemes resemble corporatist schemes in important respects, however, with lower coverage and average benefits. Subjective wellbeing is also comparatively low among both employed and unemployed in the transition countries. Several transition countries have mixed family policy strategies that simultaneously support dual-earner families and traditional gender roles. One clear exception is Slovenia, which has a highly developed dual-earner support. Family policy generosity is related to lower rates of poverty, infant mortality and child injuries. The article demonstrates the fruitfulness of institutional analyses of the link between social policy and population health in a broader welfare state context.
