We developed an actuarial model to compare the Current Situation (which applies to those who entered public service from 2020 onward) with the three cohorts under the Old Situation (those who joined before 2004, those who joined between 2004 and 2012, and those who joined between 2013 and 2019). We calculated four pension indicators, breaking down the results by gender, as well as teaching and non-teaching staff. The reforms led to reductions in both replacement rates and required rates. Additionally, the internal rates of return decreased, while effective rates increased. Women and teachers were the most negatively affected by these changes. The composition of required rates between old-age and survivors' pensions has also shifted. Overall, the reforms diminished the redistributive characteristics and the adequacy while increasing their equity and progressivity.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aims to explore how welfare recipients' perceptions of personal interactions with welfare bureaucrats shape their experiences of administrative burden, specifically their psychological costs, by drawing on biographical–narrative interviews conducted with 33 (former) welfare benefit recipients in Germany. The results reveal that welfare recipients perceive individual welfare bureaucrats as responsible for reducing, increasing, or creating certain psychological costs they experience and that welfare recipients themselves respond to these costs and negotiate them to some extent. This article contributes to the growing literature on citizens' experiences of administrative burden and expands the concepts of psychological costs and citizen agency by building on theoretical frameworks of coping behaviours in response to stress and psychological costs. The results also confirm a need for policy changes that support, rather than discourage, more case-sensitive approaches to welfare benefits and employment services.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143908961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using non-governmental organization referrals and snowball sampling, 25 participants were recruited for semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The findings revealed that participants experienced mistreatment, discrimination, and financial exploitation from employers and co-workers because of their irregular status, ethnic background, and language barriers. Fears of detention, deportation, restricted access to public healthcare, and discriminatory treatment affected their daily mental challenges and mental health. Religious devotion, alcohol consumption, and cohabitation were found to be coping strategies for addressing struggles, some of which are harmful coping mechanisms that lead to health problems. Therefore, collaboration between Myanmar and Malaysia is crucial for regularizing migrant status, providing accessible medical care without fear of repercussions, and enabling the use of formal channels for remittances to improve the health and well-being of these individuals.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143884243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a task-based approach to complement the skill-biased framework usually applied to labour market segmentation, investigating the correlation between occupational exposure to the risk of automation and low-quality employment. The empirical analysis, based on 14 countries sampled from ESS (2002–2018), shows a strong correlation between technological replaceability and low income across all of Western Europe, especially after the Great Recession, while its association with atypical employment is mainly driven by fixed-term contracts in Central and Southern Europe and by part-time arrangements in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian countries. Overall, a “recalibrated” dualisation emerges in Western European labour markets, characterised by the diffusion of low labour earnings and atypical contracts among mid-skill routine workers, besides the low-skill service precariat.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guided by the displacement theory, this study examines the characteristics of older Internet users, the relationship between Internet use and common activities, and the relationship between Internet use and happiness among Chinese older adults. Using the 2018 and 2021 Chinese General Social Survey data, the study found that Internet use was generally associated with active and increased engagement in most activities, except for watching traditional mediums (TV/DVDs). Meanwhile, the connection between Internet use and perceived happiness was not established, as only the unadjusted models in 2018 showed a significant positive association between daily Internet use and older adults' perceived happiness. This study underscores the potential of digital technology to support active aging and calls for holistic digital integration strategies. The findings have significant implications for policymakers and stakeholders in creating an age-friendly digital environment in today's evolving digital era in China and beyond.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review aims to systematically explore the barriers to education faced by migrant minors in Türkiye. It evaluates the extent of research undertaken, the representation of diverse migrant populations and geographic areas, the methodologies employed, and the effectiveness of current educational strategies and policies. Utilizing the PRISMA-ScR framework, 35 studies were analyzed, identifying key themes such as educational challenges, socio-cultural integration, and support systems. Results show major barriers including linguistic hurdles, cultural integration difficulties, psychological support deficiencies, economic constraints, and infrastructural shortcomings. Despite extensive research, there is a lack of holistic educational approaches, highlighting a need for policies that address both immediate educational needs and broader socio-cultural integration with adequate resources. Future studies should explore diversified methodologies and focus on the longitudinal impacts of educational barriers.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
