The role of financial support in preventing the need for child protection services: a mixed method study on the effects and pathways of additional income support

ABSTRACT Previous studies show that household economic insecurity is associated with poor child health and an increased risk of child maltreatment. Therefore, it can be assumed that family financial support can also prevent the need for child protection services. This study asks: What is the association of families’ poverty and granted additional income support with the need for child protection services, and through which pathways does this effect arise? The research is mixed method, and based on Finnish municipality-specific statistical data in 2019 (Sotkanet Indicator Bank, 294 municipalities) and interviews with Finnish social workers (N = 23). Linear regression analysis and qualitative methods were employed. The study shows that poverty has a positive association with the need for child protection services, but on the other hand, additional income support buffers this effect. The research has also revealed pathways through which additional income support prevents the need for child protection services. Through the interviews, pathways of immediate material help, alleviating economic stress and supporting parenting, as well as strengthening social inclusion were identified. Furthermore, the importance of social work and its cooperation practices emerged in the study.

Gao, P.-F., 2020. The financial support for the development of marine economy. In: Qiu, Y.; Zhu, H., and Fang, X. (eds.), Current Advancements in Marine and Coastal Research for Technological and Sociological Applications. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 107, pp. 169-172. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.With the rapid development of global economy and the acceleration of land resource consumption, the land energy crisis has become more and more serious. Therefore, the development of marine resources has become an important consensus to expand human living environment. China is a country with rich marine resources, which requires China to vigorously develop the marine economy. However, as China is still a typical “big ocean, small industry” pattern, it needs our government to issue policies to provide financial support. Therefore, how to give full play to the advantages of financial support to promote the development of marine economy has become the main way. Therefore, a new wave of marine economic development is emerging, which requires a lot of capital investment. Therefore, the role of financial support in marine economic development is more critical. Good financial support can effectively promote marine economic growth. Through investment and financing mechanisms such as government investment, credit loan and foreign institutional capital injection, the government can provide all-round financial support for the development of marine economy, which will better realize the growth of marine economy.

Human Resource Capabilities, Financial Support and Enterprise Development in Nebbi District, West Nile Region Uganda

The study examined the role played by Human resource capabilities, financial availability in supporting enterprise development in Nebbi, west Nile region in Uganda. Purposive and simple random sampling was used and the selected sample of participants was 120. The study found out that Enterprise developers seem to understand the role of financial support and that lack of human resource capabilities encounter increased financial cost. Access to credit is still a challenge due to lack of understanding of SMEs by banks. The study recommended that government should support enterprise development by providing an environment which promotes business, provide access to credit, provide affordable interest rates, and provide subsidies to local enterprise developers. Universities should also develop skills that match employment needs.

Why Seek Asylum? The Roles of Integration and Financial Support

AbstractThe suspicion that asylum seekers seek beneficial conditions in host areas has become a controversial and popular topic. It has led to accusations of economic migration, with deterrent and preventative measures introduced to try to control this “problem”, and in particular, the intended uniformity of asylum procedures has been a key aim of European harmonisation talks. As a small, qualitative study, this article is based upon thirteen semi‐structured interviews held with Somali individuals who sought asylum. It aims to explore destination choices with reference to the experiences and explanations given by some whose voices are otherwise largely excluded from debates. It asks to what extents and why they occurred. It reveals that having homes, jobs, educations, and more were key parts of what exile meant to these individuals, and so demonstrates reactivity behind topics more typically held to be “voluntary” concerns. Choices upon destinations were limited, however, and far bigger influences were the people smugglers or agents whom most relied upon to facilitate their entries past the preventative border controls. Beyond this, deterrence or prevention measures had no effect. The data is also used to explore the controversial and similarly under‐researched role of financial support. It is shown to have been connected with the interests that persons had in adjusting to new areas and dealing with their interim disadvantage, and not as something that justifies suspicions. This study supports arguments that policy makers should concentrate less upon deterrence or prevention, and more on the conditions that exist to propel such movements. Its findings suggest that insufficient certainty, support, or quality of life can create pressures for seeking asylum and that these should be addressed by policy makers; it also argues that “voluntary” aspects of movements might more recognisably be parts of exile.
