Coping with Demographic Change: A Comparative View on Education and Local Government in Germany and Poland by Reinhold Sackmann,Walter Bartl,Bernadette Jonda,Katarzyna Kopycka,Christian Rademacher Pdf

With many OECD countries experiencing a decline in their populations, this book offers a theoretical model of coping with demographic change and examines different strategies that societies have used to come to terms with demographic change. In particular, it details the different ways that Germany and Poland have tried to cope with this challenge and reveals three conflicting strategies: expansion, reduction, and phasing out. Coverage includes: · How and why demographic change was used in Poland to expand the education system · The variance of linkage between demographic change and growth rates in different fields of education in a German Bundesland · Modes of reflexivity and personnel policy in German and Polish municipalities · Effects of demographic change and forms of coping on fiscal capacity and unemployment rates in German municipalities Coping with Demographic Change examines how and why societies cope with these detrimental effects. It conceptualizes the challenges a society faces as a result of demographic change and focuses on the processes by which actors, organizations and nation-states try to cope with this new situation.

Studies in the Sociology of Population by Jon Anson,Walter Bartl,Andrzej Kulczycki Pdf

This book presents a cross section of the work and concerns of social demographers worldwide, covering a broad range of topics from social structure through population structure to social policy; from fertility and mortality through migration to the way in which organisations deal with the demographic environment in which they operate. Topics addressed also include morbidity and health profiles and transitions, as well as policies and programs concerned with these and other issues. The volume touches on some of the major links between population and societal dynamics. It addresses demographic patterns and issues from micro-level, meso-level, and macro-level perspectives and helps put into focus the past, present and future of the mutual relations between population dynamics and societal responses. With a unique introductory chapter discussing the global unevenness of population growth today, its associations with inequality and the challenges it presents for the future, and a truly international approach to social and demographic change and policy responses, this book will serve as a valuable resource for professionals and students in sociology, demography, social policy and local governance.

The Oxford Handbook of German Politics by Klaus Larres,Holger Moroff,Ruth Wittlinger Pdf

Few countries have caused or experienced more calamities in the 20th century than Germany. The country emerged from the Cold War as a newly united and sovereign state, eventually becoming Europe's indispensable partner for all major domestic and foreign policy initiatives. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of some of the major issues of German domestic politics, economics, foreign policy, and culture by leading experts in their respective fields. This book serves primarily as a reference work on Germany for scholars and an interested public, but through this broader lens it also provides a magnifying glass of global developments which are challenging and transforming the modern state. The growing importance of Germany as a political actor and economic partner makes this endeavor all the more timely and pertinent from a German, European, and global perspective.

Economic Foundations for Creative Ageing Policy by Andrzej Klimczuk Pdf

Ageing populations are a major consideration for socio-economic development in the early twenty-first century. This demographic change is mainly seen as a threat rather than as an opportunity to improve the quality of human life, especially in Europe, where ageing has resulted in a reduction in economic competitiveness. Economic Foundations for Creative Ageing Policy mixes the silver economy, the creative economy, and the social economy to construct positive solutions for an ageing population. Klimczuk covers theoretical analyses and case study descriptions of good practices to suggest strategies that could be internationally popularized.

Methodische Probleme in der empirischen Organisationsforschung by Stefan Liebig,Wenzel Matiaske Pdf

Das Buch diskutiert zentrale Methoden und methodische Probleme der empirischen Organisationsforschung. In modernen Gesellschaften sind in nahezu allen Lebensbereichen Organisationen – wie z.B. Betriebe und Unternehmen, Verwaltungen, Schulen und Hochschulen, Krankenhäuser oder Vereine – von entscheidender Bedeutung. Organisationsbezogene Fragestellungen besitzen damit sowohl in der soziologischen als auch in der ökonomischen Forschung einen großen Stellenwert. Daraus resultiert nicht nur ein vermehrter Bedarf an Organisationsdaten, sondern es ergeben sich zugleich auch spezifische Fragen des methodischen Vorgehens im Rahmen von empirischen Organisationsstudien. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich diesen Fragen und dokumentiert Beiträge zum interdisziplinären Workshop an der Universität Bielefeld.

Social Change and Human Development by Rainer K Silbereisen,Xinyin Chen Pdf

Today's world is characterized by a set of overarching trends that often come under the rubric of social change. In this innovative volume, Rainer K.

Germany's New Security Demographics by Wenke Apt Pdf

Military recruitment will become more difficult in times of demographic aging. The question arises whether demographic change will constrain the capacity of aging states like Germany to conduct foreign policy and pursue their national security interests. Since contemporary military operations still display a strong human element, particular scrutiny is given to the empirical analysis of the determinants of military propensity and military service among youth. An additional human capital projection until 2030 illustrates how the decline in the youth population will interact with trends in educational attainment and adolescent health to further complicate military recruitment in the future. A concluding review of recruiting practices in other NATO countries provides insight in best-practice policy options to reduce the military’s sensitivity to demographic change. Following this approach, the book gives prominence to a topic that has thus far been under-represented in the greater discussion of demographic change today, namely the demographic impact on international affairs and strategic calculations.

Higher Education to 2030 by Anonim Pdf

Demographic changes increasingly shape social policies as most OECD populations are aging and include more migrants and minorities. Japan and Korea have already started to see their enrollments in tertiary education decline, but other countries like Turkey and Mexico can still expect a boom. Drawing on trend data and projections, volume 1 takes a look at these important questions from both a qualitative and quantitative standpoint. Issues covered include the impact of demographic changes on student enrollment, educational attainment, academic staff and policy choices. Particular attention is given to how access policies determine the demographics of tertiary education, notably by examining access to higher education for disabled and migrant students. The book covers most OECD countries, illustrating the analysis with specific examples from France, Japan, Korea and the United States. Volumes 2 and 3 examine the effects of technology and globalization, and volume 4 presents scenarios for the future of higher education systems.--Publisher's description.
