Soziale Klassenzugehörigkeit und dauerhafte Armutslagen in Österreich

Angel, Stefan 09 1900 (has links) (PDF)
In diesem Beitrag wurde für Österreich untersucht, inwiefern ein Zusammenhang zwischen dauerhafter Armut und sozialen Klassenstrukturen - operationalisiert anhand des Erikson-Goldthorpe-Portocarero-Klassenmodells - gegeben ist. Daran anschließend wurde geprüft, ob sich empirische Evidenz für eine Veränderung des Zusammenhanges im Vergleich der Zeiträume 1996 - 2000 und 2005 - 2008 in Österreich findet. Den theoretischen Ausgangspunkt bildet der durch die Bremer Armutsstudien der 1990er Jahre geprägte Diskurs hinsichtlich einer sozialen Entstrukturierung von Armutslagen. Zur Umsetzung der Fragestellung wurden österreichische Befragungsdaten (ECHP und SILC) verwendet und mehrere Armutsindikatoren gebildet, die sowohl Einkommenslagen, Lebenslagen, als auch deren jeweilige Dauer berücksichtigen. Einerseits kann auf Basis der durchgeführten logistischen Modellschätzungen festgehalten werden, dass in der zweiten Hälfte der 90er Jahre ein Zusammenhang zwischen sozialer Klasse und dauerhaften Armutslagen gegeben ist. Im Zeitraum von 2005 - 2008 trifft dies zumindest auf restriktvere Längsschnitt-Armutsdefinitionen zu. Der Einfluss der Klassenzugehörigkeit bleibt dabei über beide betrachtete Zeiträume konstant. Zweitens zeigen zusätzliche Analysen, dass ein Effekt der sozialen Klassenzugehörigkeit bei ausschließlicher Betrachtung der Querschnittsdimension für Einkommensarmut und Deprivation (1996) sowie 2005 für Einkommensarmut gegeben ist. Insgesamt spricht die empirische Evidenz für den hier betrachteten Zeitraum somit tendenziell gegen die Gültigkeit der Entstrukturierungsthese in Österreich. / Series: Working Papers / Institut für Sozialpolitik

Social Resilience and Adaptation in Urban Areas of the United States Facing Financially Insecure Aging

Rakhimova, Nelya 23 May 2017 (has links) (PDF)
As the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age in the coming decades, American metropolitan areas face the serious problem of an increased demand for supportive services. This situation is complicated by the fact that many of the elderly will have limited financial resources, leading to a growing number of seniors struggling with poverty and financial insecurity. At the same time, federal funding for social services is shrinking, and local organizations will play a key role in supporting the low-income elderly in American metropolitan areas. The concept of social resilience offers a useful starting point for understanding the mechanisms that hinder or enable local communities and individuals, in order to recognize and cope with the slow, continuous changes that these demographic changes present. A resilient metropolitan area is one in which markets, local political structures, communities, and individuals continually adapt to changing conditions. This research focuses on the adaptive resilience of the Phoenix metropolitan area through the ability of systems to support low-income seniors to age in place, independently, for as long as possible. Phoenix is an attractive retirement location, and the case study aims to understand if and how the metropolitan area is preparing for the impending demographic changes, viewed as a lasting disturbance. The research uses a descriptive quantitative approach based on triangulation of an online survey of local governments, expert interviews with representatives of local organizations working with the aging population, and document analysis. The major findings for the research period from 2012 to 2014 show that local level actors of public and nonprofit sectors demonstrated involvement in the network of support for the aging population, where nonprofit actors are mainly dependent on the decisions and funding of the public sector and rely increasingly on volunteer support. The current study found that only a few of the participating actors from the public sector expressed clear recognition of the extent of financial insecurity among seniors. Research also revealed an understanding of poverty as predominantly focusing on the personal faults of members of society, which does not require any proactive action from the government. The existing network of services is targeted to reactive support services, which promotes individual resilience and responsibilization. Community services, which can provide prolonged independent aging in place, are less developed or in the early stages of development; operation of these services anticipates significant involvement of volunteers as well. Funding shortages challenge the ability of the public and nonprofit sectors to maintain the existing level of support services for a growing population, and actors need to compensate through local partnerships and innovations. From a theoretical perspective, the research results show that adaptation to the growing number of aging people is emerging in the Phoenix metropolitan area, while financial insecurity is widely considered the personal responsibility of seniors. A reliance on public engagement also refers to individual resilience and can be seen as the next step of a responsibilization process in American society. Thus, the role of individual resilience is growing in American society compared to the role of social or community resilience. A balance should be found that recognizes the power of and limits to both individual and social resilience in creating a social realm that benefits all citizens.
