〔第一部分〕 (1) Introduction to Social Assistance Systems in Belgium.
(2) Minimum income protection in Europe
講者：Dr. Sarah Marchal (Assistant Professor, Centre for Social Policy Herman Deleeck, University of Antwerp)
主持：臺大社工系 汪書華 副教授
講者介紹：
Dr. Sarah Marchal looks into the design, effectiveness and responsiveness of targeted social policy provisions, from a cross-national comparative perspective. She uses micro- and hypothetical household simulations in order to understand the impact of social policy on vulnerable target groups. Importantly, in her research, she takes account of the impact administrative implementation decisions have on the experiences of target groups with limited and spotty labour market attachment.
演講內容：
Since the recent implementation of national means-tested minimum income schemes in the Southern European countries, currently all European Member States provide a general safety net to their working age able-bodied population. Still, large variation exists in the generosity, accessibility and conditionality of these schemes. This presentation provides an overview of the different designs present in the European Union.
〔第二部分〕 (1) Introduction to Social Assistance Systems in Turkey.
(2) Electoral and Contentious Politics of Recent Social Policy
Reforms in Turkey
講者：Dr. Burak Gürel (Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, and Co-director of the Center for Asian Studies, Koç University)
主持：臺大社工系 汪書華 副教授
講者介紹：
Dr. Burak Gürel got his Ph.D. in Sociology from Johns Hopkins University in 2015. He is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and the co-director of the Center for Asian Studies at Koç University in Istanbul, Turkey. Gürel’s articles appeared in prestigious journals, including the Journal of Peasant Studies, Journal of Agrarian Change, Modern China, and Social Policy & Administration. Gürel is currently a member of the International Advisory Board of the Journal of Peasant Studies.
演講內容：
The first part of the presentation examines the shift from employment-based social policies that provided basic job security, pension, and healthcare rights to formal-sector employees between the 1950s and 1990s to a new policy that has prevailed since the 2000s, which decreased welfare generosity to formal-sector employees and dramatically expanded means-tested social assistance to the poor people. The second part of the presentation examines the relationship between social movements, electoral competition, and social policy reforms in contemporary Turkey by focusing on the “General Health Insurance” reform of 2008-2012 and the “Those Affected by Retirement Age Restrictions” campaign that has succeeded recently.
