Abstract

• There is a strong consensus around the need to reduce poverty and inequality and a drive toward Universal Social Protection (USP) as part of the Sustainable Development Goals to be met by 2030, a goal shared by governments around the world and supported by the World Bank as part of the USP 2030 initiative.1 • Hundreds of social programs around the world differentiate eligibility and/or benefits in various ways, for example, regions of residence, individual or household characteristics, social vulnerabilities or welfare, or a combination of these, and nearly every country has at least one poverty-targeted social assistance program, and often one or more of these are flagship programs of high profile. • The job of targeting individuals or groups is difficult and there are many criteria and metrics with which success or lack thereof can be gauged. Thus, the issue of whether current practice is acceptable, can be improved upon or should be abandoned recurs in instance after instance.

“重新审视社会援助中的目标：重新审视旧困境”简介

•人们对减少贫困和不平等的必要性达成了强烈的共识，并推动实现普遍社会保护（USP），将其作为到2030年实现的可持续发展目标的一部分，世界各国政府共同的目标，并得到世界银行的支持，作为USP 2030倡议的一部分。1•世界各地数百个社会项目以各种方式区分资格和/或福利，例如居住地区、个人或家庭特征、社会脆弱性或福利，或这些因素的组合，几乎每个国家都至少有一个以贫困为目标的社会援助计划，其中一个或多个往往是引人注目的旗舰计划。•针对个人或群体的工作很困难，有很多标准和指标可以用来衡量成功与否。因此，目前的做法是否可以接受、是否可以改进或应该放弃的问题在一个又一个例子中反复出现。

期刊介绍： Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
