Apesar de a assistência social ter sido incluída na Constituição Federal de 1988 como uma das políticas de seguridade social, ela tem sido desde então marcada por tensões e resistências entre sujeitos que pertencema classes e a grupos sociais antagônicas. O presente artigo procura, assim, demonstrar, por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, as principais contradições na área da assistência social determinadas pela dinâmica da neoliberalização no Brasil. Particularmente, busca examinar,no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19, as medidas adotadas pelo governo ultraneoliberalde Bolsonaro, que vem reforçando a manutenção de uma estrutura de ações paralelas, focalizadas e seletivas nessa área social, que não se configuram como direitos assistenciais.SOCIAL ASSISTANCE IN NEOLIBERALISM: an analysis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemicAbstractAlthough social assistance was included in the Federal Constitution of 1988 as one of the social security policies, it has since been marked by tensions and resistance between subjects belonging to antagonistic classes and social groups. This article thus seeks to demonstrate, through bibliographical and documentary research, the main contradictions in the area of social assistance determined by the dynamics of neoliberalization in Brazil. In particular, it seeks to examine, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the measures adopted by the ultra-neoliberal government of Bolsonaro, which has been reinforcing the maintenance of a structure of parallel, focused and selective actions in this social area, which do not constitute assistance rights.Keywords: Social assistance.

Resumo: O presente artigo objetiva analisar o regime constitucional da Assistência Social para demonstrar o verdadeiro papel desse subsistema para assegurar o alcance do princípio da universalidade da cobertura e do atendimento, prescrito no artigo 194, parágrafo único, inciso I, da Constituição de 1988. Para tanto, parte-se da prescrição constitucional (artigo 201) de que a previdência social é devida ao trabalhador e seu dependente, mas que existe uma parte da população brasileira que não trabalha ou está em condições precárias de trabalho, e que demanda proteção social diante da sua situação de vulnerabilidade. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa, partiu-se do método dedutivo, em que a assistência social foi estudada preliminarmente no plano constitucional para, depois, ser compendiada a jurisprudência pátria com o intuito de obter resultados teóricos e empíricos da realidade da seguridade social no Brasil, especialmente em relação à concretização da assistência social na busca da universalização.Abstract: This article aims to analyze the constitutional system of Social Assistance to demonstrate the true role of this subsystem to ensure the scope of the principle of the universality of coverage and care, prescribed in article 194, sole paragraph, item I, of the 1988 Constitution, it is based on the constitutional prescription (article 201) that social security is due to the worker and his dependents, but that there is a part of the Brazilian population that does not work or is in precarious working conditions, and that demands social protection before the vulnerability. In order to develop this research, it was based on the deductive method, in which the social assistance was preliminarily studied at the constitutional level and then the country jurisprudence was summarized in order to obtain theoretical and empirical results of the social security situation in Brazil, especially in relation to the realization of social assistance in the search for universalization.

The conditions of socioeconomic and biological vulnerability of indigenous peoples in the face of the coronavirus pandemic pose the question of what are the limitations of the protection promoted by social security policies. In order to answer this question, this research sought to conceptualize social rights in relation with indigenous cultural differentiation, as well as seeking to review the most recent trajectory of health, social assistance and social security policies for this public. To this end, a bibliographic and documentary review was carried out on the terms surrounding the objective. Thus, it was verified that, until then, only the health policy presents an alternative of institutionalized differentiation, while the policies of social assistance and social security, although they may have good coverage of the indigenous users in some aspects, are presented distant from the demands of these peoples. In view of this situation, in addition to the setbacks caused by the neoliberal advance on social policies as a whole, and with the specific attacks on indigenous rights, these peoples are in a situation of greater fragility, because, in addition to not enjoying culturally sensitive social policies, they experience a delay in the emergency response in the form of public policy against the impacts of covid-19, which can lead to a greater number of contaminations and deaths.

The article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the system of organizations for children with the limited psychophysical possibilities in Ukraine. There is a system of governmental and non-governmental organizations working with children with limited psychophysical abilities. It is noted that at present there are at least two main strategies of social assistance, social security and protection of people with limited psychophysical capabilities. The first one is more focused on supporting the functioning of the system of institutions (boarding schools, residentional homes for people with disabilities, etc.) intended to help the children, young people and adults with special needs. The strategy is aimed at those people who live at home, but its priority areas are, first of all, financial allowance (payment of pensions and material assistance) and certain public welfare (social assistance, support), carried out through territorial institutions of the social security system. The second strategy involves the social adaptation of children (in particular, the inculcating life skills, vocational training, manifestation of creative potential to independent adult) and implemented by social rehabilitation centers. The comparative characteristic of the Community initiatives is shown in the article. The activities of social organizations aimed at social integration and provision of available integrated care services, habilitation and rehabilitation programs, providing support for children with special psychophysical capabilities. The organizations try to help a child to find his/her place in the new society. The main goal of the rehabilitation centers’ activities is not only the reconstruction of the form and contents of work, but the desire to break and rebuild as a whole the attitudes towards children with special needs with consideration for their needs and problems. This is achieved by the following: coordinate the efforts of various experts dealing with the children with disabilities; provide early diagnostics developmental disorders; investigate a child’s personality, reveal his/her abilities, optimize the choice of the adaptation and educational program; elaborate a program for the raising of children with different levels of mental disabilities; elaborate preventive measures; prepare people for education in special classes at regular schools and through professional assimilation.

AbstractThis chapter discusses the general legal framework regulating Russia’s welfare system and access for national citizens, foreigners residing in the country, and national citizens residing abroad to social benefits in five policy areas: unemployment, health care, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. Our analysis shows that the eligibility of Russian nationals for social benefits depends either on their employment status and contribution record (for pensions and other social insurance benefits), or their residence status (for social assistance and healthcare). The overall level of social protection of citizens residing in different parts of the country may differ substantially due to the decentralized structure of the social protection system in Russia. The rights of foreign residents to social security benefits are essentially the same as those of the nationals, as long as they are legally employed and make social security contributions. However, there are two major exceptions: pensions and unemployment benefits. Social assistance benefits provided at the regional level are typically available to all legal residents, foreigners included, with few exceptions. When deciding to permanently move abroad, Russian citizens lose their entitlement to claim social benefits from Russia, apart from acquired contributory public pensions.

The Social

Social policy as a set of principles, legal norms, activities and institutions, aimed at creating conditions that ensure the quality of life of the citizens of a country, is an expression of the social relations between the state and its citizens. Social policy determines safety (social, health, economic) and security of the individuals in society.Social policy should be seen as an activity that guarantees the security of those affected by the risks of labour, family and life. In a broader sense, social policy regulates a very broad range of social relationships that relate to employment, income, education, and others. Social security can therefore be seen as the main objective of social policy. In modern concepts, social security is perceived as a system of public rules, institutions and social payments that enable the dignified exitense of every person, who in an unusual state of vitality. Social security can therefore be seen as a set of measures to protect people in an unusual situation. Forms of social security: social security coverage; social assistance; social provision.Apart from thier nature, purpose and funding, social security and social assistance differ according to the principles of organization and management. Social assistance is a decentralized system, and social security can be centralized or decentralized depending on the principles adopted. Through these forms of social security, people receive material security for their existence on the basis of common and unified rules. In any case, however, not always will the indigent be covered by these forms of social security, regardless of their social protection needs. It is possible that even socially protected persons may be in need because of the low income recevied by this system. In such cases the intervention of social assistance is needed as a means of “plugging the holes”. For the sake of clarity, social security can be defined as the first defense net, and social assistance as the second defense net, i.e. social assistance must take on the part of the population which, for one or other reason, does not fall from or land either from the upper levels of the social protection system or when the level of this protection has been insufficient or it provides social protection from the last instance.

The paper shows that the Vietnam’s system of social security policies during its reforms increasingly supports risk prevention, mitigation and management, positively contributing to the implementation of targets for human development. This system, however, reveals many shortcomings, such as its limited coverage and low impact on beneficiaries. Since the system, in which all citizens are guaranteed to be engaged, should assure people’s fundamental needs and increase its scope of impact, greater accountability of involved parties is required. Additionally, on the basis of synchronous development of all components of the social safety net, it is vital that the policy model, organizations in operation and/or services and finance resources providers be diversified and that the development of social security policies be attached to economic and social development.

This article begins with an overview of the structure of local governance in Sweden. It then examines the division of competences between municipalities and county councils, and the population register that determines the applicable law. Following this, the article focuses on health care schemes and the possibility for the competent county council to determine substantive health care. The municipalities’ responsibility for long term social care is then considered. Finally, the municipalities’ room for manoeuvre in relation to the social assistance scheme is reviewed. The concluding section discusses Sweden’s decentralised approach to social security.

Food Insecure Households

It is widely understood that households with low economic resources and poor labourmarket attachment are at considerable risk of food insecurity in Australia. However, little is knownabout variations in food insecurity by receipt of specific classes of social assistance payments thatare made through the social security system. Using newly released data from the 2016 HouseholdExpenditure Survey, this paper reports on variations in food insecurity prevalence across a range ofpayment types. We further investigated measures of financial wellbeing reported by food-insecurehouseholds in receipt of social assistance payments. Results showed that individuals in receiptof Newstart allowance (11%), Austudy/Abstudy (14%), the Disability Support Pension (12%),the Carer Payment (11%) and the Parenting Payment (9%) were at significantly higher risk of foodinsecurity compared to those in receipt of the Age Pension (<1%) or no payment at all (1.3%). Resultsfurther indicated that food-insecure households in receipt of social assistance payments enduredsignificant financial stress, with a large proportion co-currently experiencing “fuel” or “energy”poverty. Our results support calls by a range of Australian non-government organisations, politicians,and academics for a comprehensive review of the Australian social security system
