Abstract

ABSTRACT Social equity is about asking who ought to get what and for whom is this programme good. With a focus on East Asia, this article examines how social equity is both conceptualised and put into practice outside of the Western context. An assessment of education and health care policy in China, Korea, and Singapore reveals four common themes about social equity in the East Asian context: shifting priorities on equity over time, balancing equity and meritocracy, prioritising distributional equity, and the importance of geography. These four themes demonstrate the need for a more global understanding of social equity.
促进东亚社会公平:中国、韩国和新加坡的教育和卫生保健政策
社会公平就是问谁应该得到什么,这个项目对谁有好处。本文以东亚为重点,探讨了社会公平在西方背景之外是如何被概念化并付诸实践的。对中国、韩国和新加坡的教育和医疗政策的评估揭示了东亚背景下社会公平的四个共同主题:随着时间的推移改变公平的优先事项,平衡公平和精英管理,优先考虑分配公平,以及地理的重要性。这四个主题表明,需要对社会公平有更全面的了解。
