Le financement de la santé dans les pays d'Afrique et d'Asie à faible revenu
Les conceptions et les politiques en matière de financement de la santé dans les pays à faible revenu s'articulent autour de paradigmes successivement dominants dans les approches des gouvernements et de leurs partenaires extérieurs : la gratuité des soins de base et " la santé pour tous " dans la lignée de la conférence d'Alma Ata, tout d'abord ; la contribution financière des usagers (" recouvrement des coûts ") à partir de la seconde moitié des années quatre-vingt.

Power, Alliances, and Redistribution
Lateinamerika gilt als der ungleichste Kontinent der Welt. Paradoxerweise hat die Entwicklung ressourcenintensiver Sozialsysteme wenig dazu beigetragen, das soziale Ungleichgewicht zu verändern. Der Autor zeichnet dieses Paradox am Beispiel Argentiniens nach, deckt die zugrundeliegenden Macht- und Interessenskonflikte auf und stellt erfolgreiche Strategien zur Umsetzung einer integrativen Politik vor. Als erste Studie dieser Art untersucht sie systematisch die langfristige Entwicklung der sozialen Absicherung von Geringverdienern in Argentinien und analysiert die entscheidenden politischen, sozialen und ökonomischen Einflussfaktoren.

Social Security Outside the Realm of the Employment Contract
All over the world countries face the challenge of inadequate social security coverage for workers without an employment contact. In countries of the global south, this phenomenon is a natural consequence of large informal economies. Countries in the global north increasingly witness the same issue, due to growing labour market flexibility (flex contracts, dependent self-employment, digitization of labour). In this book authors from both hemispheres exchange insights, experiments and practices with the intention of finding better ways to deal with the social security challenges facing workers.
