Nous nous appuyons sur trente entretiens menes aupres des trois plus grandes centrales syndicales du Quebec, ainsi que de representants du milieu des technologies propres de la province. Nous constatons que la volonte des organisations syndicales quebecoises de participer activement a la lutte contre les changements climatiques ne suffit pas pour definir clairement leur role dans la transition ecologique. L’ambivalence de leur position, due a l’imbrication entre la crise ecologique, les modes de production industrielle et l’emploi, continue de teinter tant leurs prises de position que leurs actions.","PeriodicalId":267483,"journal":{"name":"Interventions économiques","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115717168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

American literature and research are asserting the Social Determinants of Health, while terms like wellness and wellbeing are also important. The discourse between wellness and wellbeing show they are both components of health, but wellbeing relates to subjective happiness. The United States health care system spends a lot of money, compared to other countries, showing a skewed allocation of resources. As the United States recognizes a broader definition of health to include wellness and wellbeing, national health promotion and legislation represent this. Policies concerning wellness and health prevention are of particular importance in legislation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, for example. The focus of American health policy cannot, however, turn away from the more fundamental problem that there are many Americans without health insurance who are unable to get or pay for the clinical care they need. In moving policy forward, more quantitative information and political dedication would help wellness and wellbeing along with health care come onto the health policy agenda.","PeriodicalId":267483,"journal":{"name":"Interventions économiques","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126314868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, subjective wellbeing or happiness dates back to ancient times.

Recent research has studied the impact of homeownership on various dimensions of wellbeing, such as crime, education, health, and civic participation. However, less attention has been given to the way in which policymakers have historically defined the pursuit of happiness as a gateway to a virtuous way of life thanks to homeownership. After exploring the relations between the right to pursue happiness and the right to own property in the American founding documents, the paper studies the happiness discourse that accompanied the rise of the suburban model of homeownership in the 20th century, followed by that which accompanied the policy shifts implemented in the late 20th century to conserve this model.","PeriodicalId":267483,"journal":{"name":"Interventions économiques","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126145013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the UK, a 2014 briefing paper from the Department of Health stated that there is a two-way relationship between health and wellbeing because health has an impact on wellbeing and wellbeing also impacts on health. Good health is a predictor for, or determinant of, a high level of wellbeing, and also an outcome. There is therefore a clear relationship between health and wellbeing. Recent national publications and policy approaches in the UK have incorporated wellbeing within almost all policy prescriptions. This article will consider the complexities of formulating and implementing joint health and wellbeing policies in the UK. It will begin by considering the origins of the health-wellbeing linkage. It will then look at health and wellbeing policy articulation and prescriptions using government policy papers and documents. Finally, it will consider the inherent difficulties of the joint framework approach.","PeriodicalId":267483,"journal":{"name":"Interventions économiques","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131712513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Il convient de garder a l’esprit que l’Australie est le seul pays anglophone dans lequel le suffrage est obligatoire, et ce a chacun des trois niveaux gouvernementaux: local, federal, et national. C’est en 1907 que le pays a fixe un salaire minimum obligatoire national; un salaire qui satisferait les besoins d’une personne vivant dans une ‘societe civilisee’. Ce sont avec ces notions de solidarite et de civisme que le pays a continue a evoluer. On remarque ce sens du civisme en Australie lorsque l’on examine certains litiges et lois relatifs au bien-etre. Par exemple, ce fut l’Etat du Victoria qui fut la premiere juridiction du monde a rendre obligatoire le port de la ceinture de securite par chacun des passagers d’une voiture. De meme, l’Australie a initie les controles aleatoires d’ivresse au volant. Vers la fin du 20e siecle, suite a un massacre en Tasmanie, l’Australie a promulgue avec rapidite et efficacite l’interdiction des armes a feu dans la plupart des circonstances. Il y a moins de 10 ans, c’etait le premier pays a interdire l’utilisation des marques et/ou de couleurs et images attractives sur les paquets de cigarettes. Il est important de noter que la plupart des Australiens apprecient ces lois, qui seraient considerees comme ‘envahissantes’ des libertes dans bien d’autres pays. Les Australiens attachent plus de prix a l’egalite et a la fraternite. Dans un tel cadre social, la promotion du bien-etre du citoyen est appreciee.","PeriodicalId":267483,"journal":{"name":"Interventions économiques","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133913280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Costantini","doi":"10.4000/INTERVENTIONSECONOMIQUES.6472","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/INTERVENTIONSECONOMIQUES.6472","url":null,"abstract":"For over half a century of British rule (1842-1997), Hong Kong was run by a colonial and business elite who focused on economic development and political stability through a laissez-faire policy, except during the Second World War Japanese occupation and the last years of colonial rule when democracy was being gradually introduced. After the Handover which took place on the 1st of July 1997, the government of Hong Kong had to adapt to an unprecedented geopolitical context which combined an economic, legal and social structure inherited from its colonial past and a Chinese institutional framework, known as “one country, two systems” within which the liberal economy and political autonomy of Hong Kong would coexist with the interventionism of the communist regime in Beijing. This article will focus on policy inputs especially in health and education, in the context of the historical transfer of the territory of Hong Kong from a British colony to a Special Administrative Region of the Chinese People’s Republic and will integrate the analysis of these inputs into the wider framework of the assessment of wellbeing issues in Hong Kong. These are indeed two key sectors concerning the wellbeing of the population. Besides they are major sources of concern for families in Hong Kong due to pressures from demography and structural changes in the labour market, integration with the mainland (pushing for adaptation of programs and use of standard Chinese) as well as cultural factors. The Chinese have always valued good health and perceived education as particularly important for upward social mobility and economic success. This article will first examine the areas of health and education in turn in the context of British colonial rule, and move on to explore the most recent developments in those areas since the Handover. It will then assess how specific factors (geography, history, politics) may have influenced policy and finally, it will conclude on the main challenges in terms of public policies which lay ahead to measure wellbeing in these fields.","PeriodicalId":267483,"journal":{"name":"Interventions économiques","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114613510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
