The present study investigates the phenomenon of domestic violence perpetrated against women in Bangladesh, and endeavors to identify potential determinants that may underlie its prevalence. By employing a multivariate logistic regression model and utilizing a national representative dataset comprising 5044 households in rural Bangladesh, the present study reveals noteworthy correlations between domestic violence and various factors, including but not limited to women's age, poultry farming, total land ownership, working in rural areas, and women's decision-making authority in agriculture. The age of female individuals is a crucial factor in the occurrence of domestic violence, as there exists a positive correlation between age and the likelihood of experiencing such violence, with older women being more susceptible to it. Nevertheless, the probability of violent behavior decreases after a specific period. The rearing of poultry in farms seems to have a noticeable effect on the incidence of violence, whereas the possession of extensive land holdings reduces the probability of violent occurrences. Men who work in rural areas are more likely to engage in violent behavior, possibly due to economic instability and adherence to traditional gender norms. Research indicates that female individuals who possess decision-making power in the realm of agricultural production tend to experience reduced levels of violence. In general, the aforementioned discoveries illuminate the intricate mechanisms that underlie domestic violence in rural areas of Bangladesh.
This brief summarizes insights from a seminar event on disability-inclusive social protec-tion systems in West Africa, held in Cape Coast and Accra, Ghana. Guided by a com-munity-based inclusive development framework, it suggests goals and objectives for people-centered, community-driven, and human-rights-based social protection systems that ensure the inclusion of persons with disabilities across West Africa.
Objectives: Despite the growing evidence regarding the influence of social factors on frailty in older adults, the effect of social support remains unclear. This study aims to assess the association between social support and frailty progression (transition and incidence) in a sample of community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: Using a cohort study design, 1,059 older adults from the Berlin Initiative Study were followed up for 2.1 years. Multinomial and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association of social support using Oslo Social Support Scale-3 with frailty transition and incidence, respectively. Gender differences were explored using stratified analyses.
Results: At baseline, frailty prevalence in the study population [mean (SD) age 84.3 (5.6) years; 55.8% women] reached 33.1% with 47.0, 29.4 and 23.6% of the participants reporting moderate, strong and poor social support, respectively. Over the follow-up period, social support was not significantly associated with the frailty transition categories in the adjusted model. Conversely, the adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that participants with poor social support had twice the odds of becoming frail compared to those with strong social support (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.08–3.95). Gender-stratified analyses showed comparable estimates to the main analysis but were statistically non-significant.
Discussion: Our study results underpin the role of social factors in frailty incidence and highlight social support as a potential target for frailty-preventing interventions in older adults. Therefore, it is important to adopt a biopsychosocial model rather than a purely biomedical model to understand and holistically improve the health of community-dwelling older adults.
There are about 30 low-fertility countries globally. Germany has been a low-fertility country for more than 50 years which is longer than any other country since the low-fertility trend in other countries only began ten or twenty years ago. Low-fertility rates have mainly negative consequences for various policy areas such as pension, health care, economy, labour market, culture, elections, and international relations (Bujard, 2015a, pp. 53f.).
Understanding the potential impact of social protection policies on fertility rates is crucial for policymakers who seek to address declining fertility rates by applying evidence-based strategies. By investigating the relationship between these two variables, valuable insights can be gained, informing the design and implementation of effective policies aimed at promoting higher fertility rates and ensuring sustainable demographic outcomes.
This research’s objective is to identify how social protection measures address the low fertility rates in Germany. To do that, the outcomes of recent social protection measures in Germany related to the fertility rate will be assessed by generating empirical evidence. Consequently, conclusions will be drawn, and suggestions will be offered on how to improve fertility rates.
In July 2021, unprecedented water levels affected Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. From July 12 to 15, 2021, a storm complex stalled over the European region, leading to heavy rain and flooding. In Germany, a month’s rainfall fell within 48 hours. Soils were heavily saturated after a wet spring, leading to extraordinary water levels. Due to its surrounding landscape, the Ahr river meanders through the steep rocky vineyards. People settled and built in the areas close to the river, which overflowed its banks. More than 130 died. The floodwaters destroyed critical public infrastructure. Buildings collapsed, roads and railways were destroyed, and thousands lost their homes, causing billions of euros in economic loss. The recovery efforts in Germany continue three years after the disastrous event, despite well-developed response procedures and highly established social protection systems.
Through the literature review using a qualitative case study approach, the article assesses the floods’ impact on the Ahr valley and analyzes climate-related flood hazard management processes in Germany. The theoretical framework focuses on policies and programs reducing communities' vulnerability to climate-related hazards while promoting long-term resilience and sustainable development. Transformative change is possible along four building blocks, namely data and information systems, programs, institutional arrangements, and partnerships, as well as finance. Germany can reduce the disaster risk of climate-related flood hazards by strengthening its control and management capacities as well as enhancing readiness and resilience against future climate-related threats.
Social Protection strategies aim to build resilience against various shocks and risks. Adaptive social protection incorporates shock responsiveness to foster adaptive capacity through preparedness, coping mechanisms, and adaptation strategies. Safety nets and universal child benefits are recommended as essential schemes within a crisis context. The Kızılaycard, compromising the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) and conditional cash transfers for education (CCTE), emerged as national European Union-funded schemes expanded to accommodate refugees following the influx of the Syrian population into Turkey. These programs strive to achieve adaptive capacity outcomes for refugee children by addressing social, economic, physical, and institutional vulnerabilities.
A context-specified adaptive capacity outcome framework assesses how the Kızılaycard contributes adaptively to building resilience among children, informing policies on universal child benefits. The content analysis examines 50 policy documents, impact evaluations, 2 intersectoral vulnerability studies, and 4 expert interviews. In the development of multi-stakeholder cooperation, partners engage in policy dialogues, produce learning documents, and conduct evidence-based impact evaluations. While the programs demonstrate positive impacts on basic needs and education, their efficacy in fostering lasting positive coping strategies resilient to the economic crisis remains limited, with children’s outcomes inadequately specified. Policy discussions take place within Steering Committees consisting of international agencies, with recommendations from The World Bank and UNICEF advocating for Turkey's adoption of universal child benefits to enhance adaptive capacity in policy frameworks, transforming institutional vulnerability into effective support and capacity for children. However, institutional vulnerabilities persist in multi-crisis environments, hindering the adoption of adaptive, child-responsive benefits for vulnerable children.
Existing research has documented the association between bullying perpetration and bullying victimisation. However, it is still unclear how different sources of social support moderate the association between bullying perpetration and bullying victimisation at a cross-national level. Using multilevel binary logistic regression models, this study examined the moderating role of public health care spending and perceived social support (i.e., family and teacher support) in the association between traditional bullying perpetration and victimisation by traditional bullying and cyberbullying among adolescents across 27 European countries. Country-level data were combined with 2017/18 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey data from 162,792 adolescents (11-, 13-, and 15-year-olds) in 27 European countries. Results showed that adolescents who perpetrated traditional bullying had a higher likelihood of being victimised by traditional bullying and cyberbullying than adolescents who did not bully others. Results also indicated that the magnitude of the positive association between traditional bullying perpetration and victimisation by traditional bullying and cyberbullying was mitigated among adolescents with more family, teacher, and public health care support. These findings support the notion that multilayered systems of social support could play a vital role in bullying prevention and intervention strategies to address bullying among adolescents.
Literature indicates scarcity of cross-national research on the association between physical fighting and bullying victimisation among adolescents, and the moderating role of perceived social support and education spending on this association. Using multilevel binary logistic regression, this study examined the association of physical fighting with traditional bullying and cyberbullying victimisation, with public education spending and perceived social support from families and teachers as moderators. Country-level data were combined with 2017/18 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey data from 162,792 adolescents (11-, 13- and 15-year-olds) in 27 European countries. Results showed that physical fighting was positively and significantly associated with cyberbullying and traditional bullying victimisation. These results signify that physical fighting is a robust predictor of bullying victimisation. The findings demonstrate that perceived social support and education spending buffered the association of physical fighting with traditional bullying and cyberbullying victimisation. The findings imply that social support not only prevents adolescents from engaging in physical fights, but also reduces the risk of bullying victimisation. Accordingly, to deter adolescents from engaging in physical violence and reduce the risk of bullying victimisation, there is need to fully comprehend the influence of physical fighting on bullying victimisation, and the moderating role of social support.
This paper seeks to explore the framework within which the International Labour Office should promote a principled, practical approach to social security policy in the new millennium. Integration has to be built around a joint coherent policy vision and building such a policy vision requires debate. This paper is a product of a joint effort of members of the ILO Social Security Department and social security specialists working in the ILO field offices.
Farming communities confronted with climate change adopt formal and informal adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change. While the environmental and social effects of climate change are well documented, there is still a dearth of literature on girl-child marriage (formal marriage or informal union between a child under the age of 18 and an adult or another child) as a response to the effects of climate change. In this research, we ask if girl-child marriage is promoted as a social protection mechanism first, rather than as simply a response to climate-induced poverty. We use qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to explore this question in a rural farming community in Northern Ghana. Our findings reveal that climate change shocks result in poverty and compel farmers to marry off their young daughters. The unmarried girl-child is perceived as an ‘extra mouth to feed’, a liability whose marriage becomes a strategy for protecting the family, the family’s reputation, and the girl child. The emphasis in girl-child marriage is not on the girl-child as an individual but on the family as a group. Hence, what is good for the family is assumed to be in the best interest of the girl-child. We place our analysis at the intersection of climate change, social protection, and the incidence of girl-child marriages. We argue that understanding this link is crucial and can contribute significantly to our knowledge of girl-child marriage as well as our ability to address this in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Die Klimakrise stellt eine Bedrohung für das menschliche Wohlergehen und die planetare Gesundheit dar, welcher u.a. durch Lebens- und Verhaltensstiländerungen begegnet werden kann. Eine dieser individuellen und gesamtgesellschaftlichen Veränderungen könnte eine geschlechtergerechte Aufteilung der Care-Arbeit sein, weshalb es notwendig ist, an vorderster Stelle die dahinterliegenden Mechanismen und Zusammenhänge zu verstehen. Aus diesem Grund beschäftigt sich die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit mit der Frage „Wie kann geschlechtergerechte Care-Arbeit ausgestaltet werden, um einen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz zu leisten?“. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wird eine systematische Literaturrecherche durchgeführt, welche durch den theoretischen Rahmen analysiert wird. Dieser setzt sich aus der Externalisierungsgesellschaft von Lessenich, dem Gerechtigkeitsansatz von Fraser und dem soziologischen Geschlecht von Pimminger zusammen. Die Analyse ergibt, dass sowohl die Ursachen, Auswirkungen und Lösungsansätze zur Klimakrise abhängig vom Geschlecht sind und ein Eco Gender Gap existiert. Des Weiteren ist die Aufteilung der Care-Arbeit durch das soziologische Geschlecht geprägt und weist sowohl im lokalen und globalen Kontext Parallelen zur Klimakrise auf. Lösungsansätze für beide Herausforderungen finden sich im Ökofeminismus und einer Verkürzung der Arbeitszeit wieder. In zukünftigen Wirtschaftsmodellen sollte die Care-Arbeit daher mehr Beachtung finden, da sie die unsichtbare Grundlage der derzeitigen Wirtschaftsweise ist, die zur Klimakrise geführt hat.
Introduction: The paper analyses – basing itself on reports and other documents created by different parts of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) – the process which led to the adoption of Social Protection Floor Recommendation No. 202 and the shift in focus of social policy advice towards basic protection and to the Global South countries. We look at the actions of different actors which shape the standard setting and policy stand of the organisation. Objective: To provide a comprehensive analysis of the historical trajectory of ILO social security standards, examining the evolution of principles, conventions, and the global dynamics that have shaped the organization's approach to social protection over time. Materials and methods: The methods include examining ILO documents, relevant subject literature, and the author's participant observations from over twenty-years of service in the ILO's Social Security Department, aiming to provide insights into the decision-making processes within the organization. Conclusion: We conclude that change was brought by: 1) shift in the membership of the ILO and of its decision-making bodies towards the increased presence and powers of representatives from countries of the Global South, 2) the shift in the global development community policy priorities towards poverty reduction, 3) emergence of experimental social assistance schemes in Global South countries, with designs often ignoring principles embedded in the ILO standards. The Social Protection Floor Recommendation complements previous standards in response to the challenges of widespread poverty and informality and spreading atypical forms of employment. It provides two directions of policy responses: 1) formalizing informal employment relationships and 2) expanding universal or targeted rights-based social assistance schemes. Assistance provided by ILO to member states focuses now more on building the non-contributory schemes and on identifying the fiscal space necessary to close the coverage gaps. Nowadays, the ILO must collaborate more than before with other development partners and the main challenge is to build among them awareness and acceptance of the principles of the ILO social security standards.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration defines Global Skill Partnerships (GSP) as an innovative means of strengthen skills development among origin countries and countries of destination in mutually beneficial manner. However, GSPs are very limited in number and scope, and empirical analyses of them are, to date, relatively rare. This study helps fill this gap in data by presenting and examining existing GSPs or GSP-like approaches (e.g., transnational training partnerships). The aim of the study is to take stock of the various conceptual discourses on and practical experience with transnational skill partnerships. Using Kosovo as a case study, the study details the structure of such partnerships and the processes they entail. It documents the experience of those involved and catalogues the factors contributing to success. On this basis, the authors propose a means of categorizing the various practices that will help structure the empirical diversity of such approaches and render them conceptually feasible: Transnational Skills and Mobility Partnerships (TSMP).
Introduction: As historically verified, countries with comprehensive, well designed social protection systems in place are better prepared to cope with large scale catastrophes of all kinds, always in such situation there is still a need for government interventions other than social protection and larger scale discretionary social protection or related interventions. Objective: The article presents the actions of countries to minimize the negative social effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The text is an attempt to answer how social security systems should be adapted to aforementioned crisis? Materials and methods: The text uses research methods such as: literature criticism and statistical analysis of data and revision of implemented state intervention policies based on reports of Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, International Labour Organizaton, European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions and International Monetary Fund. Results: 1) For social security institutions of key importance to ensure continuity of operations of all services – of contributory social insurance as well of social assistance - was to ensure continuous payment of all benefits due and quick response to the new entitlement emerging. It is also necessary to ensure that all citizens are fully insured, regardless of the form of contract under which they perform work. 2) In many countries, special emergency measures that extended coverage and increased benefits were taken by governments without clearly identifying the sources of funding and very often burdening social security funds with non-statutory expenses and affecting their long-term financial sustainability. 3) In the longer run, there is a need to ensure universal health care coverage of the adequate quality, there is a need to develop policies which will secure at least minimum income security to all – independently of their labour market status, forms of employment, sex, ethnicity or nationality.
The UN Declaration on the Right to Development (UNDRTD) adopted in 1986 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted in 2015 share a universal concept of development that refers both to individual and collective dimensions of prosperity and thus includes the rights of future generations.2 They thus offer a definition of the relationship between development and human rights that is very relevant for the 21st century. The core norm of the UNDRTD has been defined later as “the right of peoples and individuals to the constant improvement of their wellbeing and to a national and global enabling environment conducive to just, equitable, participatory and human-centred development respectful of all human rights”3.

Während ihrer Untersuchung zur Situation von geflüchteten Menschen in kommunalen Unterbringungen beginnt der Krieg in der Ukraine: Im Interview berichten Prof. Dr. Rosenow-Williams, Dr. Alina Bergedick und Dr. Katharina Behmer-Prinz von neuen Herausforderungen und Chancen und geben Einblicke in die Praxis kommunaler Flüchtlingsarbeit.
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the leading threats to public health. AMR possesses a multidimensional challenge that has social, economic, and environmental dimensions that encompass the food production system, influencing human and animal health. The One Health approach highlights the inextricable linkage and interdependence between the health of people, animals, agriculture, and the environment. Antibiotic use in any of these One Health areas can potentially impact the health of other areas. There is a dearth of evidence on AMR from the natural environment, such as the plant-based agriculture sector. Antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), and related AMR genes (ARGs) are assumed to present in the natural environment and disseminate resistance to fresh produce/vegetables and thus to human health upon consumption. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of vegetables in the spread of AMR through an agroecosystem exploration from a One Health perspective in Ahmedabad, India.
Protocol: The present study will be executed in Ahmedabad, located in Gujarat state in the Western part of India, by adopting a mixed-method approach. First, a systematic review will be conducted to document the prevalence of ARB and ARGs on fresh produce in South Asia. Second, agriculture farmland surveys will be used to collect the general farming practices and the data on common vegetables consumed raw by the households in Ahmedabad. Third, vegetable and soil samples will be collected from the selected agriculture farms and analyzed for the presence or absence of ARB and ARGs using standard microbiological and molecular methods.
Discussion: The analysis will help to understand the spread of ARB/ARGs through the agroecosystem. This is anticipated to provide an insight into the current state of ARB/ARGs contamination of fresh produce/vegetables and will assist in identifying the relevant strategies for effectively controlling and preventing the spread of AMR.
Using a life-cycle approach, we identify key gaps for social reform in Georgia. The reduction of informal work is the most pressing of these, since formal employment is the backbone of any robust and reliable social insurance scheme. At the same time, greater financial resources are required through taxation in order to enable systematic social reform in Georgia. Both interventions are needed in order to fill the gaps in the current social protection system, which include the limited scope of pension and health insurance, as well as the lack of permanent unemployment insurance and universal child benefits.
Against the background of Germany’s long experience with social protection, we outline the main principles of the German welfare state and present the design of three main social insurance branches (pensions, health and unemployment). Based on the mixed experience that has emerged in Germany, in particular due to path dependencies and political deadlock, we derive lessons that inform a clear and coherent vision for social reform in Georgia.
In her recent article, Bender discusses several aspects of research–practice–collaborations (RPCs). In this commentary, we apply Bender's arguments to experiences in engineering research and development (R&D). We investigate the influence of interaction with practice partners on relevance, credibility, and legitimacy in the special engineering field of product development and analyze which methodological approaches are already being pursued for dealing with diverging interests and asymmetries and which steps will be necessary to include interests of civil society beyond traditional customer relations.
The Poverty Reduction Effect of Social Protection: The Pros and Cons of a Multidisciplinary Approach
(2022)
There is a growing body of knowledge on the complex effects of social protection on poverty in Africa. This article explores the pros and cons of a multidisciplinary approach to studying social protection policies. Our research aimed at studying the interaction between cash transfers and social health protection policies in terms of their impact on inclusive growth in Ghana and Kenya. Also, it explored the policy reform context over time to unravel programme dynamics and outcomes. The analysis combined econometric and qualitative impact assessments with national- and local-level political economic analyses. In particular, dynamic effects and improved understanding of processes are well captured by this approach, thus, pushing the understanding of implementation challenges over and beyond a ‘technological fix,’ as has been argued before by Niño-Zarazúa et al. (World Dev 40:163–176, 2012), However, multidisciplinary research puts considerable demands on data and data handling. Finally, some poverty reduction effects play out over a longer time, requiring longitudinal consistent data that is still scarce.
This study intends to contribute to the discourse on social protection and crime. The study assessed social protection as a tool for crime prevention, with bias to Owerri municipal local government area of Imo state, Nigeria as a case study. The study employed a qualitative approach which allowed the researcher to explore experiences and perspectives of selected participants. Purposive sampling was considered appropriate for the defined population. In-depth interview and focus group discussion (FGD) served as data collection instruments. A review of available literature, reports, newspaper publications, reports, and various internet sources were exhaustively utilised to gather secondary data.
The study revealed that social protection possesses the potential to prevent crime. The study informed that certain intervention programmes established by the government helped in decreasing crime incidences in the area under study. In addition, the study revealed that social protection enhances wellbeing, empowers people, promotes better living conditions, imbues a sense of belonging and inclusiveness, promotes social stability and does not lead to dependency. However, the study revealed that social protection alone is incapable of eradicating crime.
Der Öffentliche Gesundheitsdienst (ÖGD) übernimmt eine wichtige Funktion in Sachen Bevölkerungsgesundheit und wird häufig, neben ambulanter und stationärer Versorgung, als ‚dritte Säule‘ im deutschen Gesundheitswesen beschrieben. Diese sprachlich gleichwertige Positionierung spiegelt sich allerdings in der Realität nicht wider, im Vergleich ist seine Stellung eher schwach. In der Frage, welche Ursachen hierfür vorliegen, könnte eine Hypothese lauten, dass ein diffuses Aufgabenprofil einen negativen Einfluss auf seine Stellung ausübt. Um diesen möglichen Einfluss näher zu untersuchen, lautet die Forschungsfrage: „Wie lässt sich die Stellung des ÖGD innerhalb des deutschen Gesundheitswesens anhand seines Aufgabenprofils aus kontingenztheoretischer Perspektive erklären?“.
Zu deren Beantwortung wird zunächst die Ausgestaltung der aktuellen Aufgabenprofile erhoben und verglichen. Anschließend untersucht die Arbeit mit Hilfe der organisationssoziologischen Kontingenztheorie, welche situativen Einflussfaktoren sich möglicherweise auf Aufgabenprofil und damit auch die Stellung des ÖGD ausgewirkt haben. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass Veränderungen in den Aufgaben teilweise recht deutlich in Verbindung gebracht werden können mit Veränderungen der Organisationssituation, auch lässt sich ein Zusammenhang zwischen Aufgabenprofil und Stellung vermuten. Soll dem ÖGD in Zukunft wieder eine stärkere Bedeutung zukommen, so ist es neben einer gewissen Vereinheitlichung der Aufgabenprofile von großer Bedeutung, ihm wieder exklusive Aufgaben zuzusprechen. Diese könnten insbesondere in den Bereichen Planung, Koordination und Steuerung, Datengewinnung und aufbereitung oder darin liegen, sich wieder verstärkt auf Bevölkerungsgruppen zu fokussieren, welche nicht durch andere Bereiche abgedeckt werden. Hierfür müssen die nötigen Ressourcen zur Verfügung stehen: Neben den bereits beschlossenen Unterstützungsleistungen gilt es insbesondere in Bezug auf die personelle Ausstattung, den ÖGD langfristig attraktiv zu gestalten. Dazu kann eine aufgewertete Stellung sowie eine verbesserte Situation in den einzelnen Behörden einen großen Teil beitragen.
Intersectoral collaborations are an integral component of the prevention and control of diseases in a complex health system. On the one hand, One Health (OH) is promoting the establishment of intersectoral collaborations for prevention at the human-animal-environment interface. On the other hand, operationalising OH can only be realized through intersectoral collaborations.
This work contributes to broadening the knowledge of the process for operationalising OH by analysing the governance structures behind different initiatives that tackle health problems at the human-animal-environment interface. The cases taken as examples for the analysis are the control and response to rabies and avian influenza under “classical OH”, and the management of floods and droughts for insights into “extended OH”. Data from Ghana and India were collected and compared to identify the key elements that enable ISC for OH.
Despite the case studies being heterogeneous in terms of their geographic, economic, social, cultural, and historical contexts, strong similarities were identified on how intersectoral collaborations in OH were initiated, managed, and taken to scale.
The actions documented for rabies prevention and control were historically based on one sector being the leader and implementer of activities, while avian influenza management relied more on intersectoral collaborations with clearly defined sectoral responsibilities. The management of the impact of flood and droughts on health provided a good example of intersectoral collaborations achieved by sectoral integration; however, the human health component was only involved in the response stage in the case of Ghana, while for India, there were broader schemes of intersectoral collaborations for prevention, adaptation, and response concerning climate change and disaster.
