We examine levels of (dis)approval of parents' full-time work in 26 European countries and ask: Do attitudes toward mothers' and fathers' full-time work vary across countries? What are the sociodemographic, cultural, and family policy-related institutional factors that explain these attitudes? To what extent can the gender arrangement framework help to understand differences in attitudes toward full-time working parents? Data from the 2018 European Social Survey was analyzed using cross-tabulation and multilevel analysis. Results reveal that the ideal of motherhood continues to be culturally more contested than that of fatherhood. Individual-level sociodemographic factors are more relevant to attitudes toward mothers' than to fathers' full-time work, while country-level factors connected to gender, work culture, and family policy are similar in their effects on attitudes toward mothers' and fathers' full-time work.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145983508","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 study investigates the drivers of local policy development, focusing on the salience of ANT-related problems, municipal economic resources, and the political orientation of local governments. We analyzed pooled time-series cross-sectional data from 109 of Sweden's 290 municipalities between 2011 and 2021. Local prevention efforts were measured using a composite Alcohol, Narcotics, and Tobacco Prevention Index. Key independent variables included indicators of problem salience (e.g., alcohol-related morbidity), municipal economic capacity, and the political orientation of the ruling coalition. We applied first-difference models with panel-corrected standard errors and panel-specific autoregressive terms to account for unobserved heterogeneity, temporal dynamics, and spatial dependence. Political orientation was the only statistically significant predictor of changes in local ANT-prevention efforts. A shift to left-wing governance was associated with a 4.2% increase in the ANT-index. Neither the salience of ANT-related harms nor municipal economic capacity had a significant effect. Our findings suggest that variation in local ANT-policy is less driven by problem burden or economic resources, but rather by political orientation.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145891669","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}

We derived geographic, demographic, socio-economic and health variables from national registers and data on monthly payment problems from the national debt collection agency for the 2015–2019 period. We analysed these data in a discrete multistate modelling framework and calculated the metrics for synthetic cohorts who experience the current payment problem risks throughout their life course. Some third of the synthetic cohort members experienced payment problems at least once during their life course, with the share being higher among men. The life expectancy with payment problems at age 18 was 2.1 years, which corresponded to 3% of the total life expectancy. Across the intersections of low education, sex, record of psychiatric diagnosis and area-level income, the longer the payment problem expectancy these groups had, the shorter their total life expectancy was. Payment problems can be chronic, and have the same upstream determinants as early mortality.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145739589","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}

The social investment perspective has recognised this and promotes skill development as a means of dealing with social problems. However, possessing skills may not be enough. Individuals who have been educated abroad or have acquired skills through experience face the risk of labour market marginalisation. To address this issue, most European countries have developed alternative skill certification systems (recognition of experience or foreign qualifications). Using queuing and signalling theory, we study employers' perception of alternative skill certification. Empirically, we focus on childcare in Switzerland. First, we use a vignette experiment to examine how employers evaluate alternative credentials. Second, based on qualitative interviews, we explore what drives employers' assessment. We find that while possessing alternative credentials significantly increases such candidates' hiring prospects, they are not considered equal to those holding standard degrees because employers do not believe they have acquired certain specific skills.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsw.70051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145686207","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}

According to theoretical discussions, such programs would not bear the potential to yield long-lasting and transformative effects in recipient communities. However, the available (even if scarce) post-program evidence seems to actually suggest that positive CT repercussions on a variety of outcomes can actually persist after the cessation of support. The existing proofs, however, mainly focus on the analysis of effects at the individual and household levels, while collective-level impacts have been largely overlooked. In this context, this paper resorts to a quasi-experimental matching approach to explore the sustainability (i.e., persistence after the end of exposure) of the impacts on collective-level variables—conceptualized as social capital, agency, and collective action—of a universal unconditional (as such, a basic income experiment) CT implemented in rural Uganda. The main findings relate to sustained or long-term impacts on social networks, life satisfaction, crime, and (both individual and collective) demand for services. The observed effects on cognitive social capital could be interpreted as a persisting increase in support for universal programs, in contrast to targeted ones. These results highlight the potential for short-term universal CTs to generate lasting shifts in relational and collective dynamics.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145625899","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}

The China Disabled Persons' Federation (DPF) has offered alternative employment opportunities for these hard-to-employ people with disabilities (PWDs) by collaborating with social organizations. This study, grounded in resource dependence theory and utilizing a case study approach, investigates the resource exchange and dependence between local DPFs and disability service organizations, as well as the emerging forms of employment and subjective experiences of hard-to-employ PWDs. The findings reveal that an interdependent relationship has been emerging between DPFs and disability organizations. Disability organizations have maintained autonomy and played a pivotal role in introducing and testing innovative employment models, mainly Work Integration Social Enterprise (WISE) projects. Most PWDs showed a positive or neutral attitude, but some expressed dissatisfaction regarding their workload and income. However, due to resource limitations and the underwhelming economic performance of employment projects, disability organizations have often prioritized upward accountability to DPFs by focusing on job creation metrics, while paying insufficient attention to the experiences and needs of hard-to-employ PWDs. Future policy should provide disability organizations with a more supportive environment to develop WISE projects, and encourage them to establish institutionalized mechanisms for the participation of hard-to-employ PWDs in the design, implementation and evaluation of employment services.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145533561","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}
