Abstract The history of old age has only relatively recently become explored as a research topic in Poland. This sketch focuses on the relationship between old age and poverty in People’s Republic of Poland. Old age, however, was a significant object of interest of the PRL authorities in at least two aspects. The first was the social security system, particularly in relation to old age and disability pensions, and the second, social care for the aged.

RESUMO A evolução da legislação trabalhista e previdenciária brasileira, desde a Primeira República até 1930, pode ser compreendida a partir da história de suas instituições. Trabalho e previdência social estão inseridas em um contexto de mudanças complexas que incorporaram mecanismos administrativos e judicantes para efetivaras leis até então elaboradas. Como primeira instituição, surge, em 1923, o Conselho Nacional do Trabalho (CNT), órgão inicialmente consultivo, cujas funções ampliaramse até assumir um caráter jurídico, sendo transformado em Tribunal Superior do Trabalho (TST). Neste artigo, busca-se, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, analisar os principais pontos dessa transformação, partindo de uma perspectiva histórica e da hipótese de que essa transição trouxe forte influência para a compreensão social da Justiça do Trabalho. Observa-se que o CNT foi essencial para criar procedimentos e argumentos que são utilizados no âmbito da Justiça do Trabalho, possuindo uma contribuição histórica significativa para a ampliação e fortalecimento do Direito do Trabalho. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Conselho Nacional do Trabalho; Justiça do Trabalho; Tribunal Superior do Trabalho. ABSTRACTThe evolution of the Brazilian labor and social security legislation – from the First Republic until 1930 –can be understood from the history of its institutions. Work and social security are embedded in a context of complex changes that incorporatedmanagerial and judicial mechanisms to implement the laws that have been elaborated. In this context, the National Labor Council (CNT) was created in 1923, an initial advisory body, whose functions were extended to a legal status and transformed into a Superior Labor Court (TST). In this article, we aim to analyze – through bibliographical and documentary research – the main points of this transformation, starting from a historical perspective and the hypothesis that this transition brought a strong influence on the social understanding of Labor Justice. It was noted that the CNT was essential to create procedures and arguments that are used in the scope of Labor Justice. The CNT also had a significant historical contribution to the expansion and strengthening of Labor Law. KEYWORDS: National Labor Council; The Labor Court; Superior Labor Court.

The goal of this article is to sum up the past hundred years of the social security system in Poland, starting with establishment thereof as Poland regained statehood in 1918. The changes which occurred in that time have been divided into three subsequent stages of the history of the Polish social security system. The first was the Interwar period when efforts were made to establish a social security system in independent Poland, in areas formerly divided between Austria, Prussia and Russia with extreme systems of social security. The next period was the Polish People’s Republic (1944–1989) when the communist authorities dismantled the pre-war social security system based on cooperation between state-owned and social organisations and the Church, replacing it with inefficient structures interested only in selected social groups in need. On the other hand, the third stage, commenced in 1989, of reconstructing social security, at first offered social protection for individuals affected by the system transformation. The last dozen or so years of development of social security is characterised by increasingly visible stimulation of social and economic growth to activate people from the fringes of the society.

William Beveridge and his Report on Social Insurance and Allied Services of 1942 continue to occupy a pivotal position in the history of social security provision not only in Britain and Europe but also in the wider world into the twenty-first century. This chapter examines why the Beveridge Plan and its ideas were so popular and seemingly so authoritative. Although Beveridge's long public career in social policy had been mainly concerned with the quite different sphere of unemployment insurance, his ideas about old-age pensions did not spring from nowhere in 1941, but dated back to the year 1907. In 1908, he became a personal adviser to Winston Churchill at the Board of Trade, where he was instrumental in inserting many of his ideas about social insurance into the unemployment provisions of the National Insurance Act of 1911. At the time of his appointment as chairman of the Social Insurance Committee in June 1941, Beveridge had almost no specialist knowledge of pensions administration or pensions finance.

Empirical Methodology

AbstractIn this paper, we examine reforms characterized by the establishment of mandatory funded privately-managed schemes in the social security framework. We construct a new dataset to analyze the determinants of pension reforms over 1980–2012 in about 100 medium and large economies around the world. Our results highlight the fundamental importance of economic forces in explaining the speed of reforms after adjusting for the confounding effects of demographic and geopolitical factors. Countries with greater globalization growth and a history of economic crisis experienced a shorter time until reform. These findings are robust to variations in empirical methodology.

The purpose of the article based on the analysis of archival sources and official documents, highlights the process of formation of local social security bodies in the Ukrainian SSR during the formation of the totalitarian regime. Find out the features of the social policy of the Soviet state and its political and ideological priorities in the social sphere. Determine the objective and subjective reasons for the failure of local social security bodies to provide full assistance to those in need. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of scientific character, objectivity, historicism. Methods: general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (problem-chronological, structural-synthetic, comparative). To identify the size of the social contingent of persons under guardianship, the author used elements of the statistical method. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the history of the formation of the Soviet social security system in provinces, cities and districts actually became the subject of this study for the first time. The author analyzed the structural and functional changes in the work of local social security bodies, which led to the centralization of the administrative apparatus and the decentralization of functions and the mechanism of servicing those in need. Conclusions. The formation of the local social security system went through two periods: the first lasted from February 1919 to June 1920, during which an independent three-stage social security system was formed in the Ukrainian SSR. The second falls on 1921-1925, during which there were significant functional changes in social security due to the transition to NEP. The first period was characterized by a philanthropic orientation of the social security organs, coverage of all categories of the population, and during the NEP there was a strict policy of “denationalization” of social security. The state has shifted many responsibilities of social self-sufficiency to the cooperation of disabled people, social insurance agencies and various committees of mutual assistance. The middle link has lost the coordination functions of assigning pensions and other benefits, turning into an organizational, inspection and instructor unit.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper was to understand the relationships between the consolidation of the actuarial profession and social security policies in Brazil, from the First Republic up to the Vargas Era. In general, there is little literature on the history of the actuarial profession in Brazil. Specifically, there is no study that addresses the relationship between the development of the actuarial profession and the social security policies at the crucial moment of Brazilian social security expansion during the Vargas Era. This paper contributes to filling that gap. From time to time, Brazilian social security reforms are debated. The role of actuaries in this discussion is poorly understood. However, these professionals have historically been essential to social security policies. This article sheds light on that history. The text may broaden the knowledge on the history of the actuarial profession and its relationships with social security policies in Brazil. This is a historical study, built based on primary documentation. Sources were researched relating to the actuarial organizations for social security in Brazil and the actuarial professionals who composed their staff. The references to the professional trajectories of actuaries were crossed and considered in light of the information gathered regarding the actions of the institutions that employed them. The analysis was qualitative and the material was interpreted with the support of the referenced bibliography. This article reveals that the consolidation of the actuarial profession came about based on the participation of engineers-actuaries in the public organizations that supported the varguista social security policies. The paper also contributes to broadening the knowledge on the history of the actuarial profession in Brazil from the First Republic up to the Vargas Era (1930-1945).

John Cogan's new book shows that entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid present enormous fiscal problems for the U.S. government, and damage those they are designed to help. The beneficiaries have often been government functionaries and others involved in the social services system. Often, subsidies are misdirected to the non-poor. Yet despite clear failures, solutions are vexing.
