Social development as a theoretical lens aims at harnessing economic dividends toward social investments that will improve people’s lives. South Africa’s housing and social policies are well developed. However, housing delivery planning and practice requires thoughtful appreciation of the role of housing delivery in ameliorating poverty, inequality, and unemployment. Currently, the country faces interrelated challenges of a sluggish economy, unemployment, and low social collegiality evidenced by crime, gender-based violence, and abuse against children. Drawing from literature, this reflective paper underscores the centrality of adequate housing delivery in generating employment, stimulating home-grown economic enterprises, boosting health, and growing the economy. Housing-based partnerships are critical in driving social and economic growth. The author recommends that housing, as a social policy, should be integrated with economic planning.","PeriodicalId":85530,"journal":{"name":"Social development issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46282104","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}

By subdividing education levels into primary, secondary, and higher, it can examine the effect of different education levels on economic growth. This study uses ordinary least squares (OLS) technique. The positive impact of higher and primary education enrollment rate is significant; however, the secondary education enrollment rate in both the “total” and the “female” panel models does not have a significant impact on economic growth. Also, the results indicate that both the total labor force participation rate as well as female labor force participation rate has the most significant positive impact on economic growth, while fertility rate has a significant negative impact on economic growth.","PeriodicalId":85530,"journal":{"name":"Social development issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49001712","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}

Results reveal that, with one exception, these programs provide minimal coverage of the poor. Further, these programs are largely ineffective in targeting the poor and inclusion errors allow large leakages to the nonpoor. Benefit incidence analysis reveals that most social assistance and asset transfer programs and a public works program are progressive and pro-poor. Programs for building human capital through financing tertiary education are progressive but not pro-poor, suggesting inequality in access to higher education. Because education is a pathway out of poverty, this may contribute to intergenerational transmission of poverty. Means-tested programs do not necessarily target the poor better than categorical and self-targeted programs. Thus, eligibility criteria may not be strictly enforced during the selection of beneficiaries for major means-tested programs. Reforms are needed to improve targeting effectiveness and minimize program leakages.","PeriodicalId":85530,"journal":{"name":"Social development issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43393483","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}

The study employed a mixed methods research design that used a collective case study and a cross-sectional survey for the qualitative and quantitative study phases. Findings indicate that poverty in informal settlements is a multilayered phenomenon that has interrelated social, economic, and environmental dimensions. What differs across countries is the level of government commitment through constitutional mandates and policies to mitigate the impact of poverty by rendering basic services and implementing housing schemes and anti-poverty programs such as social grants. Political will is key to finding people-centered solutions. Social and environmental justice campaigns that advocate and lobby governments for accountability in implementing national development plans and social welfare policy commitments are needed.","PeriodicalId":85530,"journal":{"name":"Social development issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44559871","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}

The global definition of social work is a key document in this discussion regarding the connection between global and local interdependency because it claims to define global social work by definition on the one hand but on the other hand must find ways to integrate local social work practices. Interestingly, this connection can only be found implicitly in the definition. The article will focus on the underlying debate of cultural relativism and universalism and how a biopsychosocial theory of human needs can be one possible basis for the holistic focus of social work proposed in the definition itself.","PeriodicalId":85530,"journal":{"name":"Social development issues","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46477808","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}

It is both highly regulated and highly discretionary. Law enforcement officers’ use of deadly force is governed by two pivotal Supreme Court decisions: Tennessee v. Garner and Graham v. Connor . However, despite legal requirements that police use of deadly force be judged on the “totality of the circumstances with a standard of objective reasonableness,” the methods of examining law enforcement use of deadly force do not appear to comply with these guidelines. This study designed a proprietary index containing factors that may increase or decrease a law enforcement officer’s risk of serious injury or death. None of the demographic categories of offenders were statistically linked to situations that created a greater than normal risk to law enforcement officers. Therefore, the observed differences in the use of deadly force must be attributed to nonobjective factors.","PeriodicalId":85530,"journal":{"name":"Social development issues","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41495936","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}

Conversely, the expectation was that FP providers would charge higher rates and fees, offer financial services, business planning, and savings, rather than child or health care, or education. Seventeen programs offering microfinance in large city in India were surveyed, including (8) non-government organizations (NP) and (9) non-banking financial institutions (FP). The data confirmed that FP providers reported higher interest rates, larger loan amounts, and less children’s education or childcare. Both types of providers about equally reported other services.
