The Union Government with its aim to provide optimum benefits of Social schemes is trying to cover the unorganized workers under an umbrella of unique numbers for their identification. But, the identification of the unorganized workers is still lingering in uncertainties. The main focus of this research paper is on understanding the attempts made by different stakeholders in identifying the unorganized workers. The attempts may be termed bizarre as they have completely mixed two different concepts – the informal sector and unorganized workforce. Social Workers can be efficiently trained to help the Government in identifying unorganized workers. A policy specifically dealing with the unorganized workers including their identification, their needs, and mechanism to deliver services is need for the hour. Employment rate or number can’t be a foundation to define or describe the worker as unorganized.

ABSTRACTThe authors discuss the development of welfare rights advisory work in Britain, tracing its origins from the Community Development Projects of the late 1960s to services which are funded mainly by local government. Changes in social security legislation in 1980 introduced a largely non-discretionary regulated scheme which was quickly exploited by welfare rights advisers to maximise the take-up of single payments. Advisers and social workers were blamed for generating a deluge of claims by informing claimants of their right to extra benefit. Hence, in 1986, the government restricted entitlement to single payments. It is argued, on the basis of a survey of single payment queries made to welfare rights advisory agencies, that those restrictions foreshadowed the coming of the social fund—with its discretion, cash limit and extremely limited eligibility. The implications for welfare rights work in this changed climate are considered.

Agricultural development is facing two problems: insufficient grain production and low profit of farmers. There is a contradiction between the government’s goal of increasing production and the farmer’s goal of increasing profit. Exploring the appropriate management scale of farmland under different objectives is of great significance to alleviate the conflict of interests between the government and farmers. In this study the Cobb-Douglas production function model was used to measure the appropriate management scale of farmland under different objectives in Shaanxi Province and analyze the regional differences. Under the two objectives, the appropriate management scale of the Loess Plateau was the largest in the three regions, followed by Qinba Mountains and Guanzhong Plain. Farmland area and quality were the main influencing factors for the appropriate management scale of farmland under the goal of maximizing the farmland yield, while the nonagricultural employment rate and farmland transfer rate were the main influencing factors under the goal of maximizing farmers’ profits. It is easy for Shaanxi Province to increase farmers’ profits, but more land needed to be transferred to increase farmland yield. These results suggest that in order to balance the goal of increasing yield and profit, the transfer of rural surplus labor should be promoted, and the nonagricultural employment rate should be improved. In Loess Plateau, restoring the ecological environment and enhancing the farmland quality. In Guanzhong Plain, avoiding urban land encroachment on farmland. In Qinba Mountains, developing farming techniques and moderately increasing the intensity of farmland exploit.

Abstract As part of its response to Covid-19 the government paused the use of the ‘Minimum Income Floor’ (MIF), which restricts the Universal Credit (UC) entitlement of the self-employed. This paper places the MIF in the wider context of conditionality in the social security system and considers a judicial review which claimed that the MIF was discriminatory. The paper focuses on how UC affects the availability of real choices for low-income citizens to limit or escape from wage labour, with two implications of the move to UC highlighted. First, the overlooked labour decommodifying aspect of tax credits, which provided a minimum income guarantee and a genuine alternative to wage labour for people who self-designated as ‘self-employed’, even if their earnings were minimal or non-existent, has been removed. Secondly, UC has in some respects improved the position of low-paid wage labourers in ‘mini-jobs’, who are not subject to conditionality once they work for the equivalent of approximately nine hours a week on the minimum wage.

This book has examined the good parenting scripts emerging from popular culture, policy discussion, public debate and across media, and how these scripts have championed affluent, ambitious and aspirational maternity in particular, and created and sustained a vocabulary of ‘individual responsibility’ and ‘hardworking families’. It has also discussed how neoliberalism co-opted liberal feminism and has highlighted increasingly unsympathetic and lurid portrayals of poverty, as well as the rising resentments over social security that they animate. This epilogue discusses the rise of a new trans-Atlantic age of neoliberal authoritarianism in Britain under the government of Prime Minister Theresa May, focusing in particular on her early commitments to ‘just about managing’ families (JAMs) and her initiatives aimed at containing resentments about austerity and the crushing material privations caused by the retrenchment of the welfare state.

Water is critical part of the human life. In most of the developing nation, water pollution is one of the bigger mess. These issues can be handled strictly by the Government organization, by implementing tougher action rules to the industries, were the water are released without any proper treatment. Where each industries (or) smart cities, should take up self-initiative responsibility for proper treatment of the polluted out flow water. In our research paper, we are not focusing on the wider area of the water pollution; our focus is limited within the smart cities vehicle washing garages. In very smart cities, were a regular multiple vehicles washing is done in the garage, our research paper will focus on the out flow of the populated water from these vehicle washing garages. Our design and implantation process is simpler and straightforward approach. Were we will monitor of the water quality; and how much level of the water is populated, and it requires at what level of the treatment. These process can be easily automated using the multiple IOT (internet of things) based sensors, the data can be streamed into the Big Data lake (or) it can be directly pushed into the cloud computing services for generating the real time graphs and analyses report instantly. These data collected in the Big Data lake (or) cloud computing services, can be used for detail analyses for research purpose. We will incorporate the block chain concept to keep track of the smart garage location address and the detail information of the number of garage in the smart cities details in the form of the blocks.

Abstract Background There are many studies on the influencing factors of floating population's intention to settle down. Medical insurance and social security cards have an important guarantee for the floating population to live a stable life in the current residence, but there are limited studies focused on the influence of medical insurance and social security cards on their settlement intention. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to study the influence of medical insurance and social security card on the settlement intention of floating population, so as to create better living and working conditions for floating population and improve their happiness in their current place of residence. Methods Based on the survey data of China's floating population dynamic monitoring in 2017, we explored the influence of medical insurance (urban employee basic medical insurance) and social security cards on the floating population's settlement intention with binary logistic regression and structural equation model. Additionally, this study was also to examine the comprehensive causal relationship, with social integration as the mediator variable. Results The floating population's settlement intention on participating in urban employee basic medical insurance is 23.2 percent higher than those who did not participate. Whether to apply for personal social security cards is related to the settlement intention. The standardized regression coefficients among social insurance and security, social integration, and settlement intention are positive values, and the Z values ​​of the overall effect, indirect effect, and direct effect are all greater than 1.96, and the confidence interval of the indirect effect does not include 0. The article found that this model is a partial intermediary, with an intermediary ratio of 10.66 percent. Conclusions The article highlights the important impact of urban workers' medical insurance and individual social security cards on the floating population. The results of this study may provide some reference for the government to formulate relevant policies.
