This study sought to understand the actual status of skin care offices due to the recognition of social risks caused by Corona 19. The survey was conducted on X, M, and Z generation women using the SPSS WIN 25.0 program. Analysis techniques performed frequency and percentage, χ2 (Chi-square) verification and frequency analysis, One-way ANOVA, T-test, Correlation, and Regression. The results of the study are as follows. First, generation Z was the most common among 386 people, followed by generation M and generation X. Second, Generation X showed the most interest in skin care. Third, women perceive the social risk of coronavirus as high. Fourth, it was found that the skin care center was used a lot before Corona 19, and after Corona 19, the skin care center was not used due to the anxiety of the coronavirus infection. Fifth, if the situation stabilizes after the end of the corona 19, it is highly willing to use the skin care office. Therefore, we hope that this study will be used as a basic data for preparing alternatives to revitalizing the skin care center.

Research background: Consumers’ interest in environmental responsibility, sustainable consumption, and the circular economy is significantly increasing in all aspects of their lives. Clothing and fashion are clearly among these aspects. The fashion industry is one of the most resource-intensive and environmentally polluting industries. Circularity has been offered as a solution to this issue; however, the change must be in the attitudes of all concerned (Musova et al., 2021b). Businesses must react to this requirement for sustainable fashion, which is the reason that new circular concepts have been raised. Different generations prefer different models of circularity. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the current study is to detect the existence of dependency between generation and the fashion industry’s circular models, and to identify consumers’ specific preferences. Methods: The original consumer survey was undertaken by the authors in 2021, and involved 513 Slovak and 974 Czech consumers, who responded on their preferences in the circular economy. Pearson’s chi-square test of independence was used to confirm the dependence between consumers’ generation and the circular concept. The significant medium dependence of the nominal variables was confirmed by Pearson’s contingency coefficient, C, and Cramer's V. The relationships between the generation categories of Central European consumers and the categories of the new circular models in the fashion industry were established through correspondence analysis. Findings & Value added: The findings of the study suggest that Baby boomers single out capsule wardrobes, Generation X prefers patchwork and slow fashion, while Millennials prioritise GOTS and SWAP. Finally, Generation Z favours leasing jeans, upcycling, and renting clothes.

This paper contains, among others, characteristics of the scope of protection of social risks identified in Poland by Social Security Administration and the basis for financing benefits from this system. The summary of the paper presents opinions on improving the financial efficiency of this system.

This chapter examines the low fertility phenomenon in Taiwan and argues that the low fertility problem can be identified as a type of new social risk. Existing studies on new social risks tend to focus on the social risks that have negative influences on individuals but ignore those that have more negative influences on the whole society, such as the low fertility problem. This chapter illustrates how the Taiwanese government recognizes low fertility as a social risk and how such recognition facilitated the recent development of policies that support families and children.

Risiko sosial yang terjadi berupa culture shock masyarakat akibat perubahan pola kehidupan, kohesifitas masyarakat menurun sehingga rentan terhadap konflikhorizontal, hilangnya jaminan sosial, dan berbagai permasalahan demografi. Permasalahan demografi meliputi meningkatnya angka pengangguran, meningkatnya angka putus sekolah, meningkatnya angkakriminalitas, dan mobilitas teritorial berupa migrasi masyarakat keluar daerah. Salah satu alternatif yang dapat dilakukan sebagai upaya untuk menghilangkan risiko sosial dapat dimulai dari menghilangkansumber risiko dengan cara meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat dalam menciptakan lapangan kerja baru, sosialisasi kebijakan agar masyarakat paham maksud dan tujuan kebijakan, menyediakan fasilitasi berupa rubrik konsultasi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan sosial masyarakat terdampak. Selain itu perlu juga memperbaiki faktor katalis risiko berupa perbaikan kebijakan dengan mempertimbangkan sumber-sumber risiko berupa kondisi masyarakat, relasi usaha, dan historis pembangunan waduk dilihat dari aspek sosial.Title: Social Risk of Floating Cages Control Programin the Jatiluhur Reservoir fAs the implementation of Presidential Regulation No. 15/2018, the floating nets control in Jatiluhur Reservoir resulted not only in economic disorder but also in social risks for the direct and indirect beneficiaries of the reservoir.

Introduction. Accelerated pace of development of society contributes to the accelerated generation of social risks, modern society is characterized by constant technological, natural, economic, environmental, socio-cultural changes. Therefore, minimizing social risks and leveling their consequences is of paramount importance. Methods. Diagnosis of the state of the social risk management system combined the principles of systemic, structural-functional and targeted analysis, which provided a comprehensive assessment of the whole and individual components. Results. The analysis of expenditures on the social sphere showed their stable absolute growth despite the dynamic reduction of their share in the budget. Social risks are largely due to the non-transparency of the mechanism for regulating the supply and demand of labor in the domestic labor market. A significant share of macroeconomic social risks is related to the problems of social infrastructure, which is financed from the budget. Problems with access to health care, the opacity of the pharmaceutical market, the degradation of the health care network, chronic underfunding, and the lack of health insurance also generate social risks. The task of state policy should be to prevent and prevent social risks, identify social conflicts that lead to destructive consequences. Systematization of social risks allows to methodologically substantiate the mechanisms of social risk management, to modernize the models of social protection of the population, to develop effective tools for ensuring public management of social risks. Discussion. The impossibility of reducing funding for social needs without deteriorating the quality of life and social protection of the population requires further search for alternative sources of funding for socio-cultural expenditures, rationalization in the budget structure to effectively combat the development of social risks. Keywords: social policy, social risks, social transfers, household expenditures, labor market, health care.

Artificial intelligence innovations, such as chatbots and specialized education suggestion tools, provide potential interactive and on-demand pedagogical engagement between non-Christians and Christians with Christianity. However, there is little empirical research on the readiness, acceptance, and adoption of religious education involvement of AI in a secular state such as Vietnam. This research addresses the literature gap by providing an entrepreneurial analysis and customer perspectives on the ideas of AI involvement in religious education. Specifically, the study explores whether the Vietnamese across different ages accept and have enough skills to adopt AI in Christian education innovation. The interview sample is 32 participants, selected based on their religious orientation (Christians and non-Christians) and age (Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z). Most respondents are open to AI application in religious education except for Church personnel. However, only Generation Z are fully prepared to adopt this innovation. Theoretically, the research customizes the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model into religious innovation context. Practically, this research acts as market research on the demand for AI’s religious innovation in Vietnam, an insight for future religious tech entrepreneurs.

This article aims to identify common features, disparities, and consequences in the perception of business risks between generation X, Y, and Z entrepreneurs in the segment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The empirical part of this research included the dataset of 1585 questionnaires fulfilled by the entrepreneurs from the SME segment from four Central European countries across 2019-2020. The disparities of the perception of business risks were analyzed using Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The research results prove the existence of the significant disparities in the perception of the market, financial, personnel, legal, and operational risks sources by the entrepreneurs from X, Y, and Z generations. Generally, essential disparities are in the perception of business risks between generation X and Z. 61.7% of SMEs from generation X believe that the number of possible requests for the specific products/services has a downward trend. In comparison, only 49.0% of SMEs from generation Z and 45.3% of SMEs from generation Y present the same opinion. The presented research results have the following implications: i. top management of SMEs should improve interpersonal relationships in the workplace; ii. fine-tuning of supporting programs by organizations supporting the business environment in the region of the Visegrad Group; iii. preparation of strategic documents dealing with the quality of the business environment or the training of top SME managers in the case of national policymakers.
