Over the past two decades many low and middle income countries worldwide have started to extend the coverage and improve the functioning of public social protection systems. The research program on international policy diffusion provides empirical evidence that apart from domestic factors international interdependencies matter as well for national policy change in social protection. However, little is known about the governance structures mediating international policy diffusion in social protection.

The Participation Act, introduced in the Netherlands in 2015, puts into practice the idea that every individual has to make a contribution in a participatory society. The Act includes aspects of income support, compulsory activities in return for benefits, and labour market reintegration. Drawing on 45 interviews, we provide insights into interactions between the individual financial and social situation, an individual’s position in society, and reintegration activities. The narratives show the fundamental need for individual freedom and societal meaning, recognition, and appreciation, as well as the complex circumstances in which social assistance recipients make decisions. Conflicts between those needs and the Act lead to the question of how personal and societal objectives can be reconciled.
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.
In this thesis, unique administrative data, a relevant time of follow-up and advanced statistical measures to handle confounding have been utilized in order to provide new and informative evidence on the effects of vocational rehabilitation programs on work participation outcomes in Germany. While re-affirming the important role of micro-level determinants, the present study provides an extensive example of the individual and fiscal effects that are possible through meaningful vocational rehabilitation measures. The analysis showed that the principal objective, namely, to improve participation in employment, was generally achieved. Contrary to the common misconception that “off-the-job training” is relatively ineffective, this thesis has provided an empirical example of the positive impact of the programs.
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.

Management der Rehabilitation: Case Management im Handlungsfeld Rehabilitation. Band 1 - Grundlagen
(2017)
Mit dem Paradigmenwechsel im Verständnis von Rehabilitation, weg von der rein defizitorientierten, medizinischen Sichtweise hin zur selbstbestimmten Teilhabe am Leben in der Gesellschaft, der mit dem Inkrafttreten des SGB IX im Jahr 2001 in Deutschland, der Ratifizierung der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention im Jahr 2009, der Weiterentwicklung des Behindertengleichstellungsrechts und der Verabschiedung des Bundesteilhabegesetztes im Jahr 2016 endgültig vollzogen wurde, haben sich die Anforderungen an die Strukturen und Prozesse derjenigen Institutionen verändert, die mit der Organisation, Durchführung und Finanzierung von Rehabilitation befasst sind. Rehabilitation entwickelt sich damit von einer nachgelagerten (Teil-)Leistung zu einer der Schlüsselstrategien für die gesundheitliche Versorgung und soziale Sicherung.
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.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away’. While it may be true that a balanced diet is a prerequisite for good health, how good is what we eat and drink every day? And is it actually possible to fulfil every customer desire with the vast array of foodstuffs on offer? BSE, dioxin in eggs, EHEC sprouts: in the light of repeated food safety crises, the issue of quality assurance as well as customer-oriented quality management has become of prime importance for the agri-food industry.

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.
Der Globale Migrationspakt der Vereinten Nationen beschreibt globale Kompetenzpartnerschaften bzw. Global Skills Partnerships (GSP) als eine innovative Möglichkeit, die Fachkräftebasis global zu stärken, bleibt hinsichtlich ihrer Ausgestaltung aber recht vage. Auch die hierzulande unter der Bezeichnung „transnationale Ausbildungspartnerschaften“ laufenden Aktivitäten sind in Zahl und Reichweite sehr begrenzt und es liegen bisweilen kaum empirische Analysen zu ihnen vor. Hier schafft die vorliegende Expertise von Michael Sauer und Jurica Volarevic Abhilfe, indem sie existierende Ausbildungspartnerschaften insbesondere aus dem Erfahrungsraum der Republik Kosovo vorstellt und analytisch beleuchtet. Mithilfe einer Bestandsaufnahme der konzeptionellen Diskurse und Praxiserfahrungen wird ein Kategorisierungsvorschlag unternommen, mit dessen Hilfe die empirische Vielfalt besser geordnet und konzeptionell greifbar gemacht werden kann: Transnationale Qualifizierungs- und Mobilitätspartnerschaften (tQMP).
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).
