A qualitative assessment of experiences with selected green technologies in affordable multifamily housing
This exploratory study was conducted to assess information about selected green technologies used in affordable multifamily housing in Minnesota to identify if they were perceived to operate as intended and their influences on residents’ well-being. The technologies selected were identified by an advisory committee because the technologies were installed to meet goals of sustainability of the affordable housing. Developers, architects, managers, …
Participation in Peer Response as Activity: An Examination of Peer Response Stances From an Activity Theory Perspective
This article reports a case study that examined English as a Second Language students' peer response stances from an activity theory perspective. More specifically, the study was guided by the constructs of activity and motive/object in Leont'ev's theory. Multiple sources of data were collected from two native Spanish‐speaking students enrolled in a low‐advanced EAP writing class, including recordings of their peer response sessions and individua…
Declining fertility: Intentions, attitudes and aspirations
The decline in fertility rates across Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations has been the subject of considerable debate over the past decade. The sudden decline in fertility following the post-war baby boom is viewed by some as a return to long-run trends, while others attribute the fall to decline in government financial support for families and changing social attitudes, career and lifestyle aspirations. This arti…

If Mutual Obligation Is the Answer, What Is the Question
Participation and opportunity: Redefining social security in Australia and New Zealand
Against a political background of shifting societal expectations about the role of social security in terms of mutual obligation and social responsibility, both Australia and New Zealand have conducted major social policy reviews within the past two years. Two of the central themes of the McLure Report (Australia) and the Pathways to Opportunity Report (New Zealand) are social participation and opportunity creation. This paper focuses on these is…
Globalization, government spending and taxation in the OECD
This article assesses the impact of globalization on welfare state effort in the OECD countries. Globalization is defined in terms of total trade, imports from low wage economies, foreign direct investment, and financial market integration. Welfare effort is analyzed in terms both of public spending (and separately on social service provision and income transfer programs) and taxation (effective rates of capital taxation and the ratio of capital …
Welfare states and welfare outcomes in the 1980s
Welfare state typologies can be a useful means of grouping together countries with similar policy regimes. Whether the policy outcomes of these regimes are similar is an empirical question which could not be adequately addressed until the advent of the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) project. Using evidence from the LIS data on income inequality and poverty, this paper examines the extent to which regime types and outcomes coincide. The findings su…
Identifying Welfare State Regimes: The Links Between Politics, Instruments and Outcomes
With new sources of cross‐national data appearing on income distribution and the characteristics of redistributional policy instruments, it is now possible to take the comparative analysis of welfare states well beyond the conventional focus on government expenditures. This study of 18 OECD nations examines the linkages between various aspects of the income redistribution process, elaborates a typology of welfare state regimes and locates the pol…
Targeting Efficiency of Social Security Programs
The program budgeting and related reforms initiated by the Commonwealth in 1985 require federal departments and agencies to set objectives for their programs and to develop performance measures to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs. This paper examines the targeting efficiency of Australia's social security programs and finds that these are among the most efficient of OECD countries
Evaluating Adequacy: The Potential of Budget Standards
Since Beveridge, budget standards have been neglected in British social policy research. Empirical effort has concentrated on developing social indicator methods of investigating relative poverty. This paper explores the potential of budget standards for assessing whether the scale rates of supplementary benefit are adequate. Three applications of budget standard methodology are presented
