課程概述

這是一門博士班的討論課程,主要內容聚焦在貧窮、失業、就業相關議題及勞動市場政策與社會政策。後工業化、全球化帶來工作模式的變遷、貧富差距擴大、失業與低薪工作的增加,於是,新貧、工作貧窮被認為是後工業國家必須面對的新社會風險。其中兒童貧窮、青年失業、單親家庭更受到各國的關切。
本課程將透過對歐洲、美國等國家的積極勞動政策、社會政策的瞭解,試圖尋找有助於解決新貧、工作貧窮、失業與就業促進的政策處方。在這其中,不可避免地必須處理在全球化下各國向下競逐、福利緊縮所帶來的低技術、低薪工作,以及社會福利財源的不足,造成的貧窮消除的障礙。
This seminar is about the relationships between work, poverty and social policy. All welfare states in the post-industrial world have had to respond to changes in patterns of employment at the same time as a general trend towards increasing income inequalities and poverty prevails in many countries, where child poverty and working poor recently has been paid closer attention due to the potential adverse consequences for well-being of children, youth as well as for their market prospects.
This purpose of this course is to analyze structures, determinants and outcomes of social policy legislation in post-war welfare democracies from a macro-sociological and institutional perspective. A main question is to what extent the motives of different active labour market policies (ALMPs), family policy institutions can be linked to childbearing, women’s work, child poverty, in-work poverty, and gender role attitudes.
 

課程目標
本課程將透過對歐洲、美國等國家的積極勞動政策、家庭政策的瞭解,試圖尋找有助於解決新貧、工作貧窮的政策處方。在這其中,不可避免地必須處理在全球化下各國向下競逐、福利緊縮所帶來的低技術、低薪工作,以及社會福利財源的不足,造成的貧窮消除的不力。
 
課程要求
本課程試圖貫穿貧窮、就業與社會政策,將聚焦在對貧窮的理解、工作貧窮、女性就業與家庭政策、積極勞動政策上。且選擇範例國家也將聚焦在美國、英國、德國、北歐這些不同福利體制的國家。因此,教材的選取將以書籍為主,期刊論文為輔,比較完整而深入地探討相關議題的政策發展與國際比較。每一參與課程的研究生必須針對每一主題,參與閱讀與討論,並以國內經驗為例發展討論議題,進行理論反思與對策構思。並於期末提交一篇與自己博士論文寫作有關的學期報告,頁數15-20,期末繳交。學期成績包括課堂參與討論(40%)與學期報告(60%)兩者。
The basic format of this seminar will be lecture, presentations and discussion. The instructor will review the theoretical explanation for the working poor, ALMPs and family policy and demonstrate some comparative studies in social policy. Students will be expected to present and discuss their paper in class in the late weeks. Papers should be 15-20 pages and the due on the last day of class.
