The editors bring together examples of microsimulation modeling that are at the frontiers of developments in the field, either because they extend the range of techniques available to modelers, or because they demonstrate new applications for established methods. This volume represents the state of the art with chapters on the use of microsimulation for comparative policy research and for challenging conventional assumptions, combining microsimulation with other types of economic models and the much-neglected subjects of model alignment and validation. Data and case studies are taken from regions including Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.
What is social policy, and why are welfare systems important? How
have they been affected by the global financial crisis?
The fourth edition of this well-respected textbook provides an
excellent introduction to social policy in the twenty-first
century. Expert contributors examine the development, delivery, and
implications of welfare, as well as the social and economic context
by which it is shaped. With numerous helpful learning features and
an attractive two-colour text design it is an ideal starting point
for students new to the subject, and for those looking to take
their learning further.
The fourth edition includes three new chapters on the history and
development of social policy, making social policy in a global
context, and how to research and write about social policy. It is
up-to-date with the coalition government's social policy agenda,
and offers increased coverage of the important issues of equality,
gender, ethnicity, migration, globalization and sustainability.
Social Policy is also supported by an accompanying Online Resource
Centre with the following features:
- Updates on recent developments in the field
- Searchable glossary
- Web links
