    Transferability of Social Rights in International Migration Contexts: A Systematic Reviews of Effectiveness Challenges

    No full text
    This study investigates the critical intersection of international migration and social security, focusing on the transferability and effectiveness of social rights for migrants. It examines core concepts such as the human need for security, the role of social security systems, and the influence of such protection on migration, alongside the function of international social security agreements designed to uphold principles like equal treatment and portability of rights. The central research question guiding this inquiry is whether international migrants, in practice, benefit from social protection and the transferability of their social rights in full accordance with the principles of equity and equality proclaimed by international instruments. To address this, the methodology employed is a systematic review of existing scientific literature, synthesizing and critically evaluating empirical and theoretical studies. The anticipated results will illuminate the practical extent to which these proclaimed rights are realized, detailing current access, identifying challenges, barriers, and disparities in migrants' access to social protection, and ultimately assessing the gap between the theoretical framework of social rights and the lived experiences of mobile populations, thereby shedding light on current challenges and prospects for improvement.

    The management of pension plans is becoming a subject of concern for several countries, in fact, the foundations of current plans have shown their limits, the situation of several plans has become vulnerable. Morocco is no exception, the sustainability of its pension plans is threatened, thus, and through several studies and reports, several reform avenues have been examined, but the main question remains the following: If the various reform scenarios studied ensure an advantage to the assets contributing to the pension plan? In reality, the pension reform presents a double challenge, the need to ensure, at the same time, the sustainability of the plan, and to provide an advantage and equity between the contributing assets. That said, any pension reform, and mainly the parametric one, has a direct effect on the contributing assets, in particular in the event of a revision of the contribution rate and the raising of the retirement age...... This article aims to collect the opinions of active contributors, and to evaluate their commitment to a parametric reform of the private sector pension plan managed by the National Social Security Fund, starting from a quantitative methodological approach and a post-positivist epistemological positioning, we questioned 300 active insured contributing to the plan, through a questionnaire comprising 20 questions, the results obtained confirm the knowledge of the assets on the vulnerable situation of the plan and the challenges to overcome, as well as their predisposition to a parametric reform acting mainly on the contribution rate provided that the retirement age is maintained and the level of pensions is raised.   Keywords: retirement, sustainability, reform.

    Modélisation des scénarios de réforme du régime de retraite privé : Cas du Maroc

    No full text
    Social protection policy is a subject of global debate, all countries are constantly looking for the best reform scenarios, allowing them to ensure a fair correlation between the financial balance of the management bodies and the maintenance of the purchasing power of citizens. The retirement branch is today the main concern of the countries of the world, suffering from several constraints (aging of the population, unemployment ...) its sustainability is threatened. In Morocco, the retirement branch also registers several deficiencies, and the pensions awarded, especially in the private sector, are considered precarious. In this article we are interested in the retirement of the private sector managed by the National Social Security Fund, thus, by modeling plausible reform scenarios, we try to answer the question: what are the reform scenarios adapted to the Moroccan context, which can guarantee a better retirement for employees in the private sector? In this perspective and in order to respond to this problem, we considered it imperative to adopt a simulation approach by typical profiles, representative of the insured persons of the private plan, in order to propose scenarios that can ensure a better standard of living for future pensioners combined with a retirement aligned with the cost of living. The interpretation of the results has shown that it is suggested to start with a parametric reform by an action on the classic trio: contribution rates, retirement age and capped salary subject to contributions, in order to act as soon as possible and to associate with this reform, an action in the fields related to social protection, in particular the employment market and the tax system.   Keywords: Reform, scenarios, retirement, CNSS, private sector. JEL Classification : C15 Paper type : Empirical researchLa politique de protection sociale est un sujet de débat mondial, tous les pays recherchent sans cesse les meilleurs scénarios de réforme, leur permettant d’assurer une juste corrélation entre l’équilibre financier des organismes gestionnaires et le maintien du pouvoir d’achat des citoyens. La branche retraite, constitue aujourd’hui la principale préoccupation des pays du monde, souffrant de plusieurs contraintes (vieillissement de la population, chômage…) et sa durabilité se trouve menacée. Au Maroc, la branche retraite enregistre aussi plusieurs insuffisances, et les pensions attribuées, notamment dans le secteur privé, sont jugées précaires. Dans cet article nous nous intéressons à la retraite du secteur privé géré par la Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale, ainsi, par une modélisation des scénarios de réforme plausibles, nous essayons de répondre à la question : quels sont les scénarios de réforme adaptés au contexte marocain, qui peuvent garantir une meilleure retraite aux salariés du secteur privé ? Dans cette perspective et afin de répondre à cette problématique, nous avons jugé impératif d’adopter une approche de simulation par profils types, représentatifs des assurés du régime privé, dans le but de proposer les scénarios pouvant assurer un niveau de vie meilleur aux futurs pensionnés conjugué par une retraite alignée au cout de vie. L’interprétation des résultats a montré qu’il est suggéré de commencer par une réforme paramétrique par une action sur le trio classique : taux de cotisation, âge de retraite et salaire plafonné soumis à cotisation, afin d’agir dans de brefs délais et d’associer à cette réforme, une action sur les domaines connexes à la protection sociale, notamment le marché de l’emploi et le régime fiscal.   Mots clés : Réforme, scénarios, retraite, CNSS, Secteur privé.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
