“…The rather low levels of financial strain in Continental countries are likely due to their strongly regulated labor markets, together with traditional state economic support for families, which assumes that women have most responsibility for care at home ( 39 ). Eastern, and especially Southern European countries, where almost half of workers suffer from financial strain, had the highest prevalence of financial strain, which is consistent with previous studies ( 40 ). Both country typologies are characterized by low levels of defamilisation and, additionally, they have the highest labor market precariousness and lowest incomes ( 23 , 41 ).…”

Objectives: Although in-work poverty has been increasing, in Europe policy about poverty and social exclusion tends to focus on labor market participation, independently of the level of remuneration and the quality of work, and studies about financial strain among workers, as well as on its relationship with health status, are still scarce. The objectives of this study were: (1) to compare the prevalence of financial strain among workers among different welfare state typologies, and (2) to examine whether the relationship between financial strain and health status differs by welfare state regime. For both objectives we examined whether there were gender differences.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the 6th European Working Conditions Survey of 2015 and selected a subsample of all employees from the EU28 aged 16–64 years (13,156 men and 13,225 women).Results: There were large differences in the prevalence of financial strain between welfare state typologies, which were not explained by individual factors. Additionally, differences across welfare regimes were greater among women. Nordic countries had the lowest prevalence (12.1% among men and 12.3% among women) whereas Southern European countries had the highest (49.5% among men and 47.9% among women). In both sexes and in all welfare state typologies, financial strain was associated with poor self-perceived health status and poor psychological well-being. Whereas, Southern European countries had the highest prevalence of financial strain, the magnitude of the association with health status was smaller than in other country typologies.Conclusion: In Europe, policies are needed to address the specific structural factors leading to financial strain as well as its relationship with health status among workers.

“…The literature provides consistent findings in all countries that higher education reduces MD (Bárcena-Martín et al 2019;Israel 2016;Nelson 2012;Šoltés and Ulman 2015). Unemployed persons, those living alone, and single parents are more vulnerable to MD (Bárcena-Martín et al 2014;Israel and Spannagel 2019;Hicks 2016;Nelson 2012;Šoltés and Ulman 2015). Other socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, health status, and place of residence have also been examined by many authors.…”

“…Applying logit or probit models in their studies, they examine the impact of various socioeconomic factors on the probability of being deprived. Studies using such an approach include Nelson (2012), Rezanková and Želinský (2014), Bárcena-Martín et al (2014), Šoltés and Ulman (2015), Israel (2016), Bruder and Unal (2017), Saltkjel (2018), and Israel and Spannagel (2019). Furthermore, basing on this dichotomy, some of the authors focus on the percentage of the population which cannot afford at least three (or four) of the nine items, and they analyse MD rates (or severe MD rates) at country or regional levels (Nelson 2012;Wyduba and Kalinowski 2017;Dudek 2019;Notten and Guio 2019;Dudek and Sedefoğlu 2019).…”

The study applies the fuzzy approach to measuring material deprivation from a multidimensional perspective. By taking into account the intensity of deprivation this approach goes beyond the conventional research using the deprived/non-deprived dichotomy. The study is based on the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions data including a set of nine-item material deprivation indicators adopted by all European Union countries. In order to examine the effects of social reforms introduced by the Polish government in 2016, it focuses on the situation of Polish households in 2015 and 2017. The study aims to identify correlates of material deprivation in Poland using the zero-inflated beta regression model. This model enables to understand the mechanisms behind the risk and the intensity of material deprivation. Moreover, the study provides evidence that households with at least three children experienced meaningful improvement during the studied period. This is probably due to the introduction of the ‘Family 500+’ programme supporting mainly large families.

“…Taylor-Gooby dalam Chau & Yu (2019) melihat defamilisasi sebagai sejauh mana negara dapat mengurangi ketergantungan perempuan pada keluarga dan memfasilitasi kemandirian ekonominya. Selain itu, terdapat anggapan bahwa pemerintah perlu untuk menyediakan beberapa hal seperti layanan perawatan publik untuk anak-anak dan orang tua, dana pensiun, dan tunjangan pengasuh dalam membantu masyarakat menangani risiko defamilisasi dan familisasi (Israle & Spannagel, 2018). Esping-Andersen dalam Chau & Yu (2019) mendefinisikan defamilisasi sebagai sejauh mana kesejahteraan dan tanggung jawab mengurus rumah tangga disediakan baik melalui penyediaan kesejahteraan oleh negara maupun oleh swasta.…”

Penduduk lanjut usia termasuk dalam kelompok rentan di masa pandemi COVID-19. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi peran pemerintah baik tingkat pusat maupun daerah dalam pemberian bantuan sosial bagi lansia. Data penelitian didapatkan dari open source sejak bulan Maret hingga Juli 2020. Ditemukan bahwa pada level pusat, Kementerian Sosial dan Kementerian Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak, serta pada level daerah, Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta dan Jawa Timur, telah menyediakan bantuan sosial yang menyasar lansia di masa pandemi. Program bantuan ini kemudian dianalisis menggunakan konsep familisasi dan defamilisasi. Beberapa lansia sebelum masa pandemi masih mampu bekerja dan memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari tanpa bergantung pada keluarga (defamilisasi). Namun, selama pandemi, lansia tersebut harus bergantung kembali kepada keluarga (familisasi) karena terbatas untuk bekerja di luar rumah dan atau tidak memiliki dana pensiun. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa bantuan sosial dari pemerintah bagi lansia selama masa pendemi sangat diperlukan untuk mengurangi risiko-risiko defamilisasi.Kata Kunci: bantuan sosial; lanjut usia; COVID-19; familisasi; defamilisasi Elderly are included in the vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to identify the role of government at both the central and regional levels in providing social assistance for the elderly during the pandemic. This study utilizes an open-source obtained from March to July 2020. It was found that at the central level and at the regional level, have provided social assistance. This assistance is then analyzed using the concept of familization and defamilization. Some elderly before the pandemic were still able to work and fulfill their daily needs without depending on family (defamilization). However, due to the pandemic, the elderly had to depend on their families (familization) because they are limited to working outside the home and do not have a pension fund. It can be concluded that social assistance from the government during the pandemic is very much needed to reduce the risk of defamilization.Keywords: social assistance; elderly; COVID-19; familization; defamilization
