Course Description:
This module focuses on social need and the way that society organises to provide for those in need. We will examine how social problems are defined and policies formulated in response to them. We consider the relative position of social classes, generations, ethnicities, and men and women in respect to poverty, inequality and welfare. We explore the changing boundaries between the roles of the state, the market, the family and the voluntary sector in the mixed economy of welfare. A range of topics are covered including: education, health, housing, criminal justice, work and pensions and arts and culture.
