La pensión de vejez en Colombia
Este libro analiza el concepto y los alcances de la pensión de vejez en Colombia, desde los comienzos de la República hasta la expedición de las normas actuales más relevantes (años 2003 y 2005). Tradicionalmente, el estudio jurídico de la seguridad social está dominado por los aspectos propios de los últimos pronunciamientos judiciales o de la última expedición nor¬mativa. Sin embargo, en La pensión de vejez en Colombia se ha dejado de lado el análisis de contextos, de visibilización de los desarrollos históricos y sus tensiones, de los intereses en juego y de la toma de decisiones finales para estudiar la seguridad social desde la historia. Dada la magnitud del tema, esta obra se limita al Sistema General de Pensiones, y en específico a la pensión de vejez, como la prestación que por excelencia garantiza cualquier sistema y porque es aquella que genera la expectativa de los "ciudadanos-aportantes".

Strengthening the protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the African region through human rights
Strengthening the protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the African region through human rights uses rights-based frameworks to address some of the serious sexual and reproductive health challenges that the African region is currently facing. More importantly, the book provides insightful human rights approaches on how these challenges can be overcome. The book is the first of its kind. It is an important addition to the resources available to researchers, academics, policymakers, civil society organisations, human rights defenders, learners and other persons interested in the subject of sexual and reproductive health and rights as they apply to the African region. Human rights issues addressed by the book include: access to safe abortion and emergency obstetric care; HIV/AIDS; adolescent sexual health and rights; early marriage; and gender-based sexual violence.
Social Welfare in Latin America
First published in 1990, this book analyses social welfare in Latin America, at that time. For each country it considers the ideological framework underlying the social welfare system and describes the historical development of both the system and the political and socio-economic context. Each chapter looks at the structure and administration of the systems in place and how these are financed. This is followed by a consideration of the nature of different parts of the welfare system, a survey of social security, personal social services and the treatment of the following key target groups: the aged; those with disabilities and handicaps; children and youth; disadvantaged families; the unemployed; and the sick and injured. Each chapter concludes with an assessment of the effectiveness of the system considered.
