Voluntary pension system challenge of expanding coverage
No full textSince 1947, the Vietnam Social Security (VSS) has provided social insurance to public servants and armed forces personnel in Vietnam. In 1995, the Government merged the social insurance unit of the Ministry of labour, invalids and social affairs with that of the Vietnam General Confederation of labor. At the same time the system became mandatory to the employees of the newly developing private sector. The consolidated system is publicly managed by the VSS administration. VSS collects contributions and pay social insurance benefits (in case of sickness and sick leaves, maternity and family planning related leaves, work injury and professional disease, survivorship and to people that reached pension ages). This paper investigates this issue by reviewing the characteristics of employment in Vietnam. It concludes that the risk that social coverage remains limited for many years is high and, presents accordingly some policy options to augment VSS's chances to reach universal coverage in the future.Pensions&Retirement Systems,Emerging Markets,Labor Markets,Debt Markets,Labor Policies

No full textAutoroutes de l'information et société de communication
No full textIn this paper the author criticizes the Théry report on the development of information highways, commissioned by the French Prime Minister. François de Castel emphasizes two aspects which he feels were neglected : the constitution of banks of multimedia resources for firms and for the general public, and the definition of a legal framework concerning stored products. He sees these as a sure way of protecting European culture and expertise from powerful American and Japanese interests.Du Castel François. Autoroutes de l'information et société de communication.

Le Clavecin oculaire du P. Castel
No full textAnne-Marie Chouillet-Roche : Father Castel's ocular harpsichord.
Father Castel (1688-1757) was most famous as the inventor of a mathematical machine, the ocular harpsichord, and as an opponent of Newtonianism. He believed that there were 3 prime colours and no fundamental difference between sound and light, and he attempted to find the bijection between colours and notes of the chromatic scale and to calculate the number of degrees of shading. The author studies his machine through texts by Castel and his contemporaries, and gives a bibliography of his main works as well as of the chief studies of his harpsichord.Chouillet Anne-Marie.

Health Insurance

Vers les nouvelles frontières de la médecine mentale
No full textRobert Castel : Zu nenen Grenzen in der Behandlung von Geisteskrankheiten.
Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der soziologischen Bedeutung der augenblicklichen Verschiebung der psychiatrischen Behandlungsmethoden aus der traditionellen « Irrenanstalt » heraus zur Gemeinschaft. Zu Anfang wird das Ausmass dieser Wandlung beurteilt anhand einer thematischen Analyse; hieran schliesst sich eine Kritik an der kürzlich in französischer Sprache erschienenen Veröffentlichungen der Probleme der medizinischen Behandlung von Geisteskranken. Schliesslich folgt eine Gegenüberstellung der verschiedenen Auslegungen zur raümlichen Auflösung der Irrenanstalt. Im Gegensatz zu den von der Organisationssoziologie beeinflussten Analysen, die eine selbststandige Entwicklung der psychiatrischen Strukturen unterstellen, schlägt der Verfasser eine Neufassung dieser Problemstellung durch eine strikte Studie der behandelten Bevölkerung vor. Der Schlüssel zum augenblicklichen Umwandlungsprozess wäre somit die Zufuhr in den Bereich der Geistesmedizin neuer Patientenkategorien, deren Eigenschaften nicht nur auf psychopathologischen, sondern auch auf sozialen, beruflichen, geographischen, demographischen Gebiet, sich von denen der fruheren Patienten der Irrenanstalt unterscheiden.Robert Castel : По направлению к новому в психической медицине.
Предлагаемое исследование ставит вопрос о социологическом значении от традициональных « домов » к коллективу в психиатрической практике настоящего времени. Статья начинается измерением ширины размаха этой перемены, анализируя тематически и аналитически последние публикации на французском языке посвящённые этой проблеме. Затем она полимизирует с предлагаемыми интерпретациями переворота в области домов для умалешеных. Возражая анализам, основанным на социологии организаций, которая стремится к автономности в развитии психиатрических структур, автор предлагает централизировать эту проблематику, опираясь, на строгом изучении подопечных жителей. Настоящий переворот был бы таким образом ключем для входа в область психической медицины новых категорий лиц, характеристика которых по отношению к давному населению душевно больных, отличается не только в психо-патологическом отношении, но также в социальном, профессиональном, географическом, демографическом и т. п. отношениях.Robert Castel: New Frontiers of Mental Health Medicine.
This study deals with the sociological significance of moving psychiatric practices out of the asylum into the community. After measuring the extent of this change through a thematic and critical analysis of recent publications in French, this article then discusses proposed interpretations. Contrary to the sociology of organizations which tends to treat the development of psychiatric structures in isolation, the author proposes recentering this problem area on a rigorous study of populations under care. Recent difficulties have arisen because new categories of patients have appeared. Not only their psychopathological but also their social, professional, geographic, demographic, etc., characteristics differ from those of former asylum inmates.Robert Castel : Las nuevas fronteras de la medicina mental.
Se estudia el significado sociológico del traslado actual de las prácticas psiquiátricas del « asilo » tradicional a la comunidad. Primera évalua el articulo la amplitud de ese cambio en un análisis temático y crítico de las ultimas publicaciones francesas consagradas a los problèmes de la medicina mental. Luego discute las diferentes interpretaciones de la extensión del asilo. En oposición a los análisis inspirados por la sociologia de las organizaciones que propenden a hacer autonoma la evolución de las estructuras psiquiátricas, propone el autor enfocar aquella problemática en un estudio rigoroso de las personas acogidas. La explicación de los trastornos presentes séria la llegada de nuevas categorías de individuos cuyas características, no sólo psico-patológicas, sino también sociales, profesionales, geográficas, demográficas, etc. difieren de las de los precedentes.Castel Robert.
