“…In this last category, a major challenge for the social worker is to find strategies to face the challenges that arise in a global society. Globalisation affects the social policy discourse in many ways, and therefore it also affects social work and social work education (Cousins, 2005).…”

This paper aims to reflect on internationalisation in social work education in a collaborative context. The research question addressed is how collaborative online international learning (COIL) supports the concept of Internationalisation at Home (IaH) to promote glocal knowledge in innovative social work education. The study is case-based, in which a thematic webinar on human rights issues connected students of social work from various countries in an international classroom. It discusses how the concept of Internationalisation at Home can be used effectively in practice through participatory design and participant feedback. The main conclusion of this case-based paper is that social work education should promote innovative learning scenarios that support the glocal approach, so that students are able to ‘act locally and think globally’, supported by a blended learning design.

“…De analyse van vruchtbaarheid in vergelijkend perspectief dient rekening te houden met verschillende welvaartstaten en de manier waarop deze demografi sch gedrag beïnvloeden (Billari 2005). Verschillende pogingen zijn ondernomen om welvaartstaten te classifi ceren, waarvan Esping-Andersens (1990) typologie ongetwijfeld de meest invloedrijke is (Cousins 2005). De gezinskant van zijn clustering van liberale, conservatieve en sociaaldemocratische regimes wordt vooral bij de herziening ervan uitgewerkt, door de introductie van de term de-familiaza tion.…”

In this article the progression to a second birth within Europe is studied, with specific attention to the effect of postponement of first births on family expansion. Hypotheses at the individual and the country level are tested with data from the European Social Survey’s second round. The main variables are women’s and their partners’ educational level, division of tasks and role attitudes within the household, and family policy at the macro-level. The analyses point at a role conflict between work and motherhood and a trade-off for women between career and second child. There are indications for possible solutions through the division of tasks within the household and family policy at the national level but these differ between social groups. The results show the importance of interactions with the mother’s age at first birth. Differences in postponement effects are observed between countries as well as between educational levels and families with different role divisions.

“…The last variable accounts for both the number of children and a multigenerational character of a family. As shown by Cousins (2005), this indicator substantially differentiates European welfare states. Referring to the three family 10 F. Chybalski and E. Marcinkiewicz policy domains considered by Daly and Ferragina (2018) child-income support for families, family-related leaves, and ECECwe take account of the last two.…”

In this paper, we attempt to incorporate an innovative and more comprehensive view of defamilization into the comparative analysis of real-type welfare state models. The study presents four empirically distinguished welfare state regimes where we consider separately both notions associated with (de)familization and (de)genderization together with other dimensions characterizing different welfare state models. In a multivariate statistical analysis framework, we examine 25 European countries using data covering the period between 2014 and 2017. Our findings suggest that whereas Southern European countries represent various welfare state models, most of the analyzed Central and Eastern European countries form a separate group. Similarly, the Nordic countries, except Iceland, belong to the same cluster. However, CEE countries and Nordic countries represent extremely divergent models in terms of the degree of degenderization, but similar in terms of family policy, the public-private mix, as well as welfare state generosity. The data also show that the extensive welfare state coexists with the state's predominance in delivering welfare provisions. Moreover, we demonstrate that neither the general size of the welfare state or its public-private mix nor a pro-family policy differentiate the socio-economic situation of women across countries studied.
