socialpolicy.ch
The journal "socialpolicy.ch" (s.ch) was founded in 2016 in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy, and Social Work of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) and has its editorial offices there. It appears online twice yearly and includes contributions in German, English, French, or Italian. "socialpolicy.ch" is a scholarly journal concerned with all areas of social policy and the welfare state. It strives to be a go-between linking academia and practice. Thus it is aimed at both scholars and all those actively practicing in the area. The journal should facilitate academic discourse about developments and concepts in social policy – in the widest sense of that term – in Switzerland, in other countries, and in international comparison. The journal publishes quantitative, qualitative, and comparative research on social policy, as well as theoretical pieces. In addition to academic articles, the journal can also publish shorter pieces (reviews of significant books and brief research notes). To achieve a high quality in the articles, all submissions will be put through a peer review process.

How can we conceptually grasp social policies on the macro level in sub-Saharan Africa? Decommodification and defamilialisation, two key concepts of Esping-Andersen’s seminal typology, are not very helpful to distinguish welfare regimes in sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, typologies that have been developed for the Global South hardly consider social stratification. In conclusion, there is no...

Der Tod ist kein Zufall : Ungleiche Lebenszeitchancen als Herausforderung für die Sozialpolitik

Nollert, Michael

In: sozialpolitik.ch, 2017, vol. 1, no. 1, p. Article: 1.3

Menschen sind vor dem Tod ungleich, und zwar nicht nur hinsichtlich sozialem Status, sondern auch im Hinblick auf ihre Lebenszeitchancen. Menschen mit geringen Lebenschancen verfügen über weniger Bildung, Einkommen, Vermögen und sterben früher als Menschen mit grösserer Ressourcenausstattung. Dieser Zusammenhang lässt sich sowohl global als auch innerhalb von reichen Ländern wie etwa der...
