Description
"This book surveys the many contested meanings of universality (i.e., availability of programs to all citizens) in relation to specific social pogroms, to the field of social policy and, more generally, to the modern welfare state-subjects taught in numerous courses on social welfare policy. The focus of the discussion is on Canada, though comparative references are made to help highlight key features of the Canadian experience. In addition to universality, the related ideas of universalism and universalization are discussed in order to understand important political ideas and the social processes of change in discourse and programs design in social policy. The book argues that, while universality is a major value under-girding certain areas of state intervention ( most notably health care and education), the contributory principle of social insurance and the selectivity principle of income assistance are also highly significant precepts in practice. The politics of universality are multiple, relating to diverse values and beliefs, several policy instruments and administrative techniques, and demographic and socio-economic trends.Beyond the survey of the meaning and implications of the universality principle in social welfare, individual chapters consider specific policy cases such as medicare, disability support, old age security, citizenship and immigration, as well as fiscal implications."--
