RC19 Sociology of Poverty, Social Welfare and Social Policy (host committee)

Language: English


The session turns the spotlight on the gender dimensions of contemporary political and economic changes, with particular reference to changes in power, politics and policies.  Ongoing transformations, such as deindustrialization, technological advancement, welfare state cut-backs, globalization and environmental change, have had differential implications for people and groups.   Conflicts persist and new challenges have emerged, among them rising inequalities, dislocations and cultural and political backlashes.
