New Life Courses, Social Risks and Social Policy in East Asia

Social policy in modern industrialised societies is increasingly challenged by new social risks. These include insecure employment resulting from ever more volatile labour markets, new family and gender relationships resulting from the growing participation of women in the labour market, and the many problems resulting from much longer human life expectancy. Whereas once social policy had to be in step with a standardised, relatively stable and predictable life course, it now has to cope with non-standardised individual preferences, life courses and families, and the consequent increased risks and uncertainties. This book examines these new life courses and their impact on social policy across a range of East Asian societies. It shows how governments and social welfare institutions have been slow to respond to the new challenges. In response, we propose a life-course sensitised policy as an approach to manage these risks. Overall, the book provides many new insights which will assist advance social policy in East Asia.

This book is the result of the International Conference on Risk, Life Course and Social Exclusion A Social Policy Perspective , co-hosted by the Department of Applied Social Sciences, City University of Hong Kong and the College of Social Sciences, National Taiwan University; and supported by the Thematic Group 04 Risk and Uncertainty of the International Sociological Association. It was held at City University of Hong Kong in June 2013.

We would like to express our gratitude to the generous financial sponsorship of the conferences from the City University of Hong Kong and National Taiwan University. Most of the chapters evolved out of the earlier drafts presented there, which benefited from the intense discussions among the participants and revisions made subsequently by all contributors. The book would not be possible without generous support from them.

We are also obliged to the funding support received from the College of Social Sciences, National Taiwan University, for the preparation of manuscript; and the guidance received from the publisher for the preparation of the manuscript.
