AbstractIn a period of welfare state retrenchment, Australia's neo-liberal government is continuing to implement an expensive National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Australia is among the pioneers of welfare measures funded from general revenue. Until recently, however, attempts to establish national schemes of social insurance have failed. The paper reviews this history through the lenses of path dependence accounts. It then presents contrasting descriptions of the NDIS by its Chair, the politician who inspired him, and two feminist policy analysts from a carers’ organisation. Path dependence, these accounts illustrate, has been broken in some respects but consolidated in others. In particular, the dynamics of ‘managed’ capitalist markets, gendered notions of abstract individuals and organisations, and the related difficulties in accounting for unpaid labour are constraining the transformative potential of the NDIS.

Insurance Model

Australia is implementing an ambitious new approach to individualised disability support based on a social insurance model. In a world first, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is funded through a levy on income and general taxation and gives Australians with disability an entitlement to social service support. This chapter describes the NDIS approach and implementation so far and summarises concerns and challenges about the NDIS discussed in the literature. It uses data from an action research project to inform feasibility questions about how people find out about and receive the individualised support they need. The chapter highlights a basic gap in people’s familiarity with what individualised support is, how it works and how they might benefit from the new approach. A policy implication is that, with the expansion of individualised support, the public is likely to need various opportunities and forms of information sharing, to explore and learn from each other about what the new approach is and what its possibilities are.

AbstractHow to treat families within the German pay-as-you-go financed social insurance systems - this question is repeatedly discussed. A closer look on the statutory pension scheme as well as the statutory health insurance and the care insurance scheme reveals indeed, that people without children are treated to generously within these systems. This will place an additional burden on future generations. Therefore, reforms are necessary. In the statutory pension scheme benefits can be related to the number of children a person raised. In the statutory health and in the statutory care insurance scheme a second, capital funded pillar can be introduced.

First Time

The number of people in Australia that are currently covered by a hospital private health insurance product continues to rise every quarter. In September 2010, for the first time since the introduction of the public universal social insurance scheme, Medicare, more than 10 million persons in Australia are covered by private health insurance. Although the number of persons covered by private health insurance continues to grow, the quality and level of cover that members are holding is changing significantly. In an effort to limit premium rises and to reduce the benefits paid for treatment, private health insurers have introduced, and moved a large number of existing members to, less-than-comprehensive private health insurance policies. These policies, known as ‘exclusionary’ policies, are changing the dynamics of private health insurance in Australia. After examining the emergence and prevalence of these products, this commentary gives three different examples to illustrate how such products are changing the nature of private health insurance in Australia and are now set to create a series of policy issues that will require future attention.

The Russian Federation

After liberal economical and democratic reforms in 1990-s, Russia proclaimed itself as social state, social state status legally defined in 7th article of Russian Constitution: “The Russian Federation is a social State whose policy is aimed at creating conditions for a worthy life and a free development of man.” Russian authorities created as part of social program two different systems: social insurance system and social security system. But from 1990-s to our days there are still many problems in both systems. Authorities still cutting basic social insurance program, in 2013 Russian authorities begun implementing plan to reform retirement insurance by implanting deposit-linked insurance scheme. But this process was freeze in 2014. Government have not resume process since there. Everything highlighted above indicates problems in modern state of the system which means that this question deserves more deep researches.

RECOVERY OF UNDUE BENEFITS IN THE SOCIAL INSURANCE SCHEME — SELECTED ISSUESThe article refers to the selected issues of the recovery of undue benefits in the social insurance scheme. Initially, the subject matter of the analysis is the recent modification of the art. 84 of the Act of 13 October 1998 on the social insurance system. It is argued in the article that there are not per­suasive arguments why the recent change — introducing the limit for handing down adecision for the Polish Social Insurance Institution art. 84 [7a] of the Act on the social insurance system — does not relate to the contribution payer or the other persons enumerated in the art. 84 6 of the Act on the social insurance system. Furthermore, the paper analyses the notion of the undue benefit in the social insurance scheme and the issues of the instruction. In the article there are emphasized some questions referring to the explanatory proceedings conducted by the Polish Social Insurance Insti­tution ZUS and the issues of the relations between the art. 84 1 and 6 of the Act on the social insurance system. In the conclusion the article analyses the relations between the art. 84 of the Act on the social insurance system and the special regulations, i.e. art. 138 of the Act of 17 December 1998 on pensions from the Social Insurance Fund and art. 66 of the Act of 25 June 1999 on cash social insurance benefits in respect of sickness and maternity.

In ANTIQUITY, September 1943, Grahame Clark put forward an eloquent plea for the study of man as a basic feature of education throughout the world—to create an overriding sense of human solidarity such as can come only from consciousness of common origins ; this alone, in his opinion, can ensure the Survival of civilization. He deliberately deferred consideration of practical details and concentrated on setting out ˋthe vast design ˊ covering education, like the Beveridge social insurance scheme, from the cradle to the grave. It is my purpose in this article to consider more closely what part British archaeology is fitted and ready to play in education in this country in the future. For if archaeology is to take its rightful place in school curricula, if it is to be in demand in Universities (where archaeologists mainly must be trained) and in centres of adult education, its role must be clearly defined and understood by archaeologists and educationists alike. Certain misconceptions must be cleared away-for example that archaeology is synonymous with prehistory, or the study of flints or potsherds-that it is a special subject, something ˋ extra ˊ like music or drawing in the old fashioned academy. Let it once be realized that it is essentially a method of recovering, studying and re-creating the past, a method that is open to all to use, and it will fall into place within the framework of our educational system. It will naturally be a method that is most used by other branches of knowledge concerned with the past, Classical studies, English Literature (1), and above all History.
