Social Policy Review 22: Analysis and Debate in Social Policy, 2010

The economic crisis and 2010 parliamentary elections are heavily on the minds of social policy researchers, all but one British, as they review developments in the discipline over the past year. Their topics include children's social care under New Labour, minimum income standards and household budgets, the politics of two-tier labor markets in Germany and Japan after the global financial crisis, change and continuity in Guatemala's social policy, participation and social justice, and involving disabled children and young people in research and consultations.
