Book Description
Les politiques sociales sont-elles un frein ou un facteur de croissance économique ? Pour répondre à cette question récurrente depuis les « poor laws » au XVIIIe siècle, les analyses s’efforcent d’évaluer l’incidence des politiques sociales sur la croissance économique selon les différents canaux empruntés : l’effet des dépenses de santé, d’éducation et de retraite sur les facteurs de production et la demande des ménages ; l’effet des barèmes et celui des réglementations sur l’offre et la demande de travail. Et en inversant le sens de la causalité retenue, la croissance économique exerce-t-elle des effets sur les politiques sociales ?

Book Description
Although the work place has become significantly more flexible in the former socialist countries of central and eastern Europe, the realities of their social institutional systems must be taken into account in any development strategies that aim to unite flexibility and security objectives. This volume seeks to contribute to a pan-European reflection on the concepts and issues of labour flexibility and social cohesion.

Book Description
La multiplication des recherches comparatives internationales, notamment européennes, contraste singulièrement avec le peu de réflexion sur leur épistémologie et sur les questions de méthode. C'est à ce manque que cet ouvrage cherche à remédier en s'appuyant sur l'expérience d'historiens, de sociologues, de politistes et d'économistes de divers pays européens. Comment ces chercheurs construisent-ils la comparabilité de leurs objets ? Quel rôle les langues jouent-elles dans la clarté de la comparaison ? Comment dépasser l'opposition entre universalisme et relativisme culturaliste ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auxquelles cet ouvrage apporte un éclairage tout à fait novateur. Prenant appui sur leur expérience empirique, les auteurs proposent à la fois un instrument de travail utile pour les chercheurs et un outil de réflexion pour les acteurs des politiques sociales qui travaillent de plus en plus en milieu international. While the amount of cross-national comparative research has continued to grow, especially in Europe, remarkably little attention has been devoted to epistemological and methodological questions. Papers in this book by historians, sociologists, economists and political scientists aim to contribute to this insufficiently explored research topic. Drawn from various European countries, they explain how they construct their research objects. They address the role of languages in comparative research and they all try to reach beyond the opposition between universalism and culturalist relativism or particularism. The authors draw on their extensive empirical knowledge to produce a useful instrument for researchers. Their writing will also find important echoes among practitioners of social policies, who are increasingly confronted with international situations and need models to interpret the practical differences they experience.

Book Description
Abstract: Large numbers of agricultural labor moved from the countryside to cities after the economic reforms in China. Migration and remittances play an important role in transforming the structure of rural household income. This paper examines the impact of rural-to-urban migration on rural poverty and inequality in the case of Hubei province using the data of a 2002 household survey. Since remittances are a potential substitute for farm income, the paper presents counterfactual scenarios of what rural income, poverty, and inequality would have been in the absence of migration. The results show that, by providing alternatives to households with lower marginal labor productivity in agriculture, migration leads to an increase in rural income. In contrast to many studies that suggest the increasing share of non-farm income in total income widens inequality, this paper offers support for the hypothesis that migration tends to have egalitarian effects on rural income for three reasons: (i) migration is rational self-selection - farmers with higher agricultural productivities choose to remain in local agricultural production while those with higher expected return in urban non-farm sectors migrate; (ii) poorer households facing binding constraints of land shortage are more likely to migrate; and (iii) the poorest poor benefit disproportionately from remittances.
