    Study Notes

    Sources of Social Welfare

    • Cash benefits are direct financial payments to individuals or families for basic living expenses. These payments can be unconditional or conditional.
    • Cash benefits offer recipients flexibility in how they use the money for things like food, housing, or healthcare.
    • Cash benefits provide immediate financial relief to those in need, including unemployment benefits, child allowances, and disability payments.

    Vouchers

    • Vouchers are financial instruments exchanged for goods or services instead of cash.
    • Vouchers are designed to ensure assistance is used for the intended purpose.
    • Vouchers restrict spending to designated areas, such as food, education, or healthcare.
    • Vouchers prevent misuse of welfare benefits by specifying how funds can be used (e.g., food stamps for groceries, housing vouchers for rent).

    Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA)

    • CSSA is a social welfare scheme in Hong Kong providing financial assistance to those who cannot support themselves financially.
    • It's a means-tested program, assessing the applicant's financial situation to determine eligibility.
    • CSSA covers various needs, including basic living expenses, medical costs, and special needs allowances.
    • Stigma is associated with receiving CSSA due to its means-tested nature and perception as a form of charity.

    Jonathan Bradshaw's Framework for Understanding Social Needs

    • Felt needs are subjective perceptions of what individuals need for well-being. This is especially relevant in Hong Kong, considering the cost of living and the diverse socio-economic landscape.
    • Expressed needs are when individuals actively demand a service or assistance, often evident in application numbers for social welfare programs. Waiting lists for services also reflect unmet needs.
    • Normative needs are societal standards for basic living needs set by experts, such as healthcare access, education, and housing.
    • Comparative needs arise when disparities in access to resources or services are evident between individuals or groups, highlighting inequalities.

    Rehabilitation

    • Social welfare policies play a crucial role in addressing the needs of marginalized groups, including individuals with disabilities, to lead fulfilling lives.
    • The United Nations' 4E strategy (Employability, Employment Creation, Entrepreneurship, and Equal Opportunity) serves as a framework to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.

    Strategies to Handle Poverty

    • Poverty alleviation is a strategy to immediately support individuals and families facing poverty. It's about providing temporary relief to meet basic needs.
    • Key features include financial assistance, non-recurrent assistance (one-time support), and in-kind support (e.g., public housing).
    • Poverty reduction aims at long-term solutions that create sustainable mechanisms to move individuals and families out of poverty. It involves measures such as improving access to education and employment opportunities, and fostering entrepreneurship.
    • Poverty prevention strives to prevent individuals and families from falling into poverty. This approach involves long-term planning to address the fundamental causes of poverty, such as economic development, social planning, and forward-looking policies.
