في إطار البرنامج البحثي حول العدالة الاجتماعية الذي يُديره مركز العلوم الاجتماعية للأبحاث التطبيقية، تهدف هذه الجلسة إلى فهم التحدّيات والهشاشة التي يواجهها كبار السنّ في لبنان واعتمادهم/نّ على مختلف آليات الحماية الاجتماعية ومقدّمي الخدمات (من الجهات الرسمية وغير الرسمية).
As part of the Centre for Social Sciences Research & Action’s (CeSSRA) research programme on social justice, this webinar looks at the current challenges and vulnerabilities of elderly people in Lebanon and their reliance on different social protection mechanisms and providers (formal and informal).
This webinar posits the necessity to rethink social policy in the SWANA region, and more specifically social protection, based on the principle of universalism (versus the notion of targeting). It will discuss to which extent the adequate and rights based institutionalisation of social protection can be perceived as the pillar of a social contract between the state and its citizens, and will reflect on the efficiency of a citizenship paradigm versus a charity and targeting based one.
