A just society is not one where everyone is absolutely equal on all terms, nor scholarly literature on social justice is constrained by such a conception of the just. As observed from the broad scholarly literature of social justice, most theories in this field are competing and contending normative political perspectives informed by a sociological conception of inequalities and aiming to identify social, economic as well as institutional conditions under which resulting inequalities are morally necessary and desired, rather than proposing absolute equality. This work primarily aims to explore to what extent this foundational quality of social justice theories is adopted by peer-reviewed scholarly articles published in Türkiye within disciplines of social work and social policy whose identifying characteristic is to serve the establishment of the just society. Departing from this purpose, it methodologically employed a double-layered systematic literature review (n=184) and qualitative content analysis (n=62) to critically scrutinise peer-reviewed journal articles involving the concept of social justice. In addition to some complementary findings, these analyses resulted in three major findings based on which we argue that social justice in Türkiye is (1) primarily addressed as a part of the popular academic jargon along with some generic concepts such as human rights and welfare; (2) interchangeably used with the concept of equality although there are substantial distinctions between them; and (3) stressed in a way that there is a unified/homogenous conception of the just society that overlooks competing and contending normative perspectives in the relevant literature.

As in the rest of the world, in Türkiye, the ageing population has become an issue that needs to be focused on. Elderly care service includes a social, economic and psychological process. Social policy, elderly care services are carried out by nursing and daycare homes. However, since placing elderly individuals in nursing homes is not a widely accepted approach under the traditional family structure in Türkiye, care services are primarily provided in the elderly person's own home or their children's. In addition, the participation of women in working life mainly results in the elderly individuals at home being cared for by a newcomer woman, and this care service is often carried out by people who have not received the necessary training in elderly care and often by foreign national employees; accordingly, the care that should be supplied to the elderly is not provided proficiently. Particularly in the present, the lack of sufficient quantitative health professionals to meet the increasing elderly population causes deficiencies in providing the necessary care. Considering that this deficiency can be met at the technician level, geriatric care technician training programmes are being initiated, and the gap in this field is being filled with trained personnel shortly.

The Federal Republic of Germany has been one of the historically remarkable countries socially and economically. In this context, one of the outstanding issues is undoubtedly the correlation between unemployment and inflation, which is at the intersection of economy and social policy. Therefore, in the study, the unemployment-inflation trade-off in Germany was examined with the help of macroeconomic data in the context of the Modified/Original Phillips Curve, which explores the unemployment-inflation relationship. The empirical study method is time series analysis, and the monthly data set covers the period from January 1992 to April 2023. According to the study's findings, no causality relationship could be detected between unemployment and inflation variables in Germany in the period, neither in the long run nor in the short run. Therefore, it shows that the German economy does not have to put up with the inflation problem in the fight against unemployment and the unemployment problem in the battle against inflation. In this respect, it would be beneficial to thoroughly examine the German labour market structure and monetary policy strategy in the literature.

The curricula at universities were also positively affected by the "Occupational Health and Safety", which gained importance in recent years within the scope of the ILO directives that came into force, and courses related to the field were added to the curriculum. The aim of this study; To measure and analyze the level of knowledge and awareness of students about Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). In this context, the sample of the research is in Turkey; Istanbul Gelisim University, which is a foundation university, and Gaziantep University, which is a state university, consist of the Occupational Health and Safety program students. Data were collected through a questionnaire created within the scope of the study. The questionnaire consists of demographic questions and questions about the OHS Awareness Scale. In the research, the data were analyzed by using the SPSS 25.0 statistical package program. The scale questions used in this study were collected in a single factor, unlike the original scale. As a result of the study, it has been seen that the presence of a laboratory where applied courses can take place at the university where the students receive OHS education and the fact that their parents are employers positively predict OHS awareness. This study is important in terms of evaluating the workplace safety culture perspectives that students have about Occupational Health and Safety legal practices within the framework of ILO directives and revealing their perspectives on the effectiveness of occupational health and safety education.

In almost every part of the world, different types of disasters and the difficulties caused by disasters are encountered. Disasters, which mostly take place all of a sudden, have the potential to bring about severe consequences in physical, social, economic, and psychological terms. Recently, the damage and losses of disasters have been increasing in parallel with the increase in frequency, severity, and duration. While disasters affect all parts of society deeply, they have far more severe impacts on vulnerable groups such as children, older people, women, and disabled people. It is vitally important to minimize the destructive effects of disasters in terms of the whole society, especially vulnerable groups. Within this context, the study aims to question the hardships revealed by disasters in terms of vulnerable groups and propose solutions for reducing their adverse effects on the mentioned groups. In the study, the literature scan method was utilized. Consequently, considering that the individuals in the society have different levels of vulnerability and capacity to cope in the event of disasters, the development and implementation of disaster managing strategies specific to vulnerable groups are seen to be crucial both for minimizing the damage these groups can get and for making the society resistant to disasters. Nevertheless, social assistance and social services that come to the forefront as the essential means of social policy during and after disasters must be secured to meet the necessities of vulnerable groups and enable them to sustain their lives.

The aim of the study is to comprehensively address menstrual poverty in Turkey, to explain the causes and effects of this problem and to present it in a gendered context. The study reveals that menstrual poverty in Turkey is not visible enough in society and the public sphere and that the issue cannot be solved by simple measures such as tax reductions on menstrual products. Furthermore, the causes of menstrual poverty in Turkey are related to economic status, access to health services, education level, social norms and taboos. In this context, articles, and research conducted by civil society organizations and international organizations were used. It was also suggested that studies and legal regulations on menstrual poverty in Turkey are insufficient and that more comprehensive measurements should be made and effective social policy measures should be developed to support gender equality.

In recent times, when environmental pollution has increased and climate change has accelerated, the impact of these changes and transformations on social life and welfare levels has become undeniable. This study aims to understand the determinants of green social policy. This new concept emerged in the context of social policy and the environment in conditions where the effects of environmental destruction on sustainable development are increasingly visible. In this stud, The importance of sustainable development in terms of the climate crisis, the place of social justice and ecological justice approach in social policy discussions, and discussions in the national and international literature on environmental ethics in sustainable development are included. This article is a compilation study prepared with the contribution of rich national and international literature to increase the visibility of “green social policy”, a relatively new concept in the literature and offers a unique perspective on sustainable development and social justice in the climate crisis. One of the main inferences of the study is that poverty and environmental problems take place in a nurturing cycle, that the policies to be developed are sustainable and that it is inevitable to move to a “green” understanding in the field of social policy.

In this study, the question of how the concept of social municipalism is perceived by its practitioners is sought to be answered by using a qualitative research method that offers the opportunity to analyze a specific phenomenon in depth. In the study, the municipality, which is the local government unit of the district, whose population is relatively lower in socioeconomic income compared to other central districts in Antalya, which receives large numbers of immigrants and where poverty is concentrated, was taken as a sample. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the staff working in the units that carry out social municipalism practices of the municipality, and the perception of social municipalism, practices, problems experienced, pandemic impact and self-assessments were analyzed using the MAXQDA 2020 program. In the research outputs, it was observed that the participants understood the concept of social municipalism mostly through social assistance, health practices are predominant, intensive migration is seen as the biggest problem, and the influence of the manager in social municipalism practices is expressed as high. In addition, it has been determined that a human-oriented social municipalism practice is based on and that the pandemic has caused restrictions on practices and activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While social policy refers to measures taken by society to improve and provide services to meet health and welfare needs, social policy studies are concerned with aspects of public policy, market transactions, personal consumption and interpersonal relationships that contribute to the well-being or wealth of individuals and/or groups. There has been an increase in the number of studies in the field of social policy. The main purpose of this study is to show how the research papers published in this field have undergone an evolutionary change in terms of emphasis. With 4,697 articles from seven different journals over 50 years, the most influential authors in the field, the impact of journals, the most collaborating countries, the evolutionary process of social policy studies in three different periods and the differences in transformations in this process are revealed. The number of studies making a general evaluation in the field of social policy is limited. The originality of the study shows how the studies in the journals, which are seen as a period of approximately 50 years, have transformed in this process. This study is expected to be a road map for researchers on what areas they will focus on according to the social policy transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Toplumsal sorunların ortaya çıkardığı sosyal politika, toplumsal olaylar doğrultusunda zaman içerisinde değişmiş ve dönüşmüştür. Şüphesiz ki toplumsal olayları etkileyen ideolojiler de sosyal politikanın değişiminde doğrudan rol oynamışlardır. Ekonomik, siyasal ve sosyal açıdan farklı bakış açılarına sahip olan ideolojiler ve düşünceler, ortaya koydukları ilkeler çerçevesinde sosyal politikaya da farklı perspektifler kazandırmışlardır. Serbest piyasayı savunan liberalizm, refah uygulamalarının piyasa mekanizması ile çelişmeyecek şekilde devlet dışı aktörlerce sunulmasını savunmaktadır. Var olanı korumayı temel ilke olarak benimseyen muhafazakar gelenek ise serbest piyasanın ortaya çıkardığı eşitsizliklerin yumuşatılması noktasında, onarıcı bir görev üstlenerek, sosyal politikaya dair farklı bir yaklaşım ortaya koymaktadır.Hem piyasacı hem de devletçi argümanları kapsayan sosyal demokrasi, sahip olduğu pragmatik bakış açısı doğrultusunda, idealizmden çok yapılabilirliği önemsemektedir. Bu bağlamda da refah devletinin amacını; ilkelerden, araçlardan ve yönetim biçiminden bağımsız bir şekilde toplumsal gelişme olarak belirlemiştir. Kapitalizmin tamamen ortadan kaldırılması gerektiğini savunan sosyalizm, refah devletini de kapitalizmin ortaya çıkardığı bir kurum olarak görmektedir. Sosyal demokrasi gibi pragmatik bir bakış açısına sahip olan üçüncü yol yaklaşımı ise sonuçlardan ziyade sebeplere yoğunlaşarak, gelirin yerine fırsatların yeniden dağıtılmasını, sosyal politikanın temel hedeflerinden birisi olarak ortaya koymaktadır.Sosyal politika bağlamında, erkeklerden bağımsız bir şekilde kadınlara özgü bir perspektifin ortaya çıkmasını sağlayan feminist yaklaşım, geleneksel aileye karşı çıkarak, erkeğin ekmek kazanan, kadının ise bakım sorumlusu olarak görüldüğü refah anlayışını reddetmektedir. Bu çalışmada; bahse konu ideolojilerin, sosyal politikayı nasıl ve ne yönde şekillendirdiği ele alınarak, bu bağlamda ortaya çıkan çelişkiler ve eksiklikler tartışılmaktadır. Her biri ayrı bir başlık altında detaylı olarak açıklanmaya çalışılan ideolojiler, sosyal politikaya kazandırdıkları perspektifler çerçevesinde incelenmektedirler.

To what extent can individuals be kept responsible for the disadvantages they experience? This is undoubtedly one of the most fundamental questions that have led to a historical cleavage between egalitarian perspectives that underline roles of structural inequalities leading to disadvantages and anti-egalitarian/libertarian perspectives that tend to keep individuals themselves responsible for their own living conditions. Taking a mediating position between these perspectives, a relatively new normative framework, viz. luck egalitarianism, has recently provided an analytical answer to this question. Building upon an authentic conceptual framework in which two distinct forms of luck are defined, it claims that individuals cannot be kept responsible for their disadvantaged conditions so long as these conditions have appeared as consequences of factors that are beyond their own control, such as luck, which inescapably brings forth a normative idea that individuals should take responsibility of disadvantages that are consequences of their own choices/decisions. This paper discusses that evaluative aspects of individuals' choices/decisions within the given configuration of luck egalitarianism's analytical framework are excessively ambiguous, which can easily lead it to turn into a perspective morally justifying quite a number of disadvantages. Drawing on various hypothetical cases and empirical findings, it suggests that luck egalitarianism should recognize sociological formation of individuals' choices/decisions in modern stratified societies to overcome such jeopardy. Following this, it addresses two positive implications of such recognition as (1) saving luck egalitarianism from being a means of right-wing exclusionary political positions and (2) opening up a space to incorporate egalitarian social policies.

Kerime Nadir is a writer who has a respected place in Turkish Literature, is known for her romance novels, and has deeply influenced Turkish society. So much so that her novels have not only been adapted into films but have been the subject of many academic studies and postgraduate theses. What is the reason for this achieved status in the Turkish Literature of Nadir? Thus Nadir is a contemporary interpreter of the traditional orientation of love affairs. The protagonists in her novels are generally both forbidden and in some cases impossible love figures, such as cousins, half-siblings, and close relatives, who have a kinship and/or age difference between them. The characters of the novels are usually wounded souls who seek true love and encounter many unexpected events on the thorny paths of life. Finally, they have realized that happiness is not in vanity but in simplicity, virtue, patience, sacrifice, and nobility. In Nadir's works, there is also a reference to the freedom of choice, that we can change our destiny if we want, instead of accepting the destiny drawn by society. In this study, a comparison between Nadir's novel The Hiccup and Honoré de Balzac's novel Le Lys dans la vallée will be made, The main characters in Hiccup of Nadir and Le Lys dans la vallée of Balzac have similar attitudes and behaviors being observed. At the same time, it has been revealed how these two women sacrifice themselves and could not make their own choices beyond traditions and social roles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to secondary school placement system (TEOG) between 2013 and 2017, all incoming high school students in Turkey were placed in a high school based on their TEOG exam scores. This placement system became an example of extensive academic grouping. This qualitative study explores the consequences of TEOG-based placement of students, in which students and therefore schools are ranked according to students' test scores. In-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 149 participants selected among students, teachers, and school administrators through stratified purposive sampling. The findings of this study suggest that overall school climate, perceptions towards the school, motivations of students and teachers, learning opportunities presented in the school, and therefore, the overall quality of the education differs largely based on the achievement levels of schools that are identified by TEOG scores of the incoming students. Furthermore, there are strong evidences that TEOG-based placements group students not only based on their academic success but also on their socio-economic backgrounds. Accordingly, students with low socio-economic backgrounds are overrepresented in schools labeled as low and mid-achieving. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The traditional extended family, which is common in agricultural society, has left its place to the nuclear family in industrialized societies after the Industrial Revolution. The family, the basic unit of society, has been experiencing a new crisis since the 1950s: disintegration. With the disintegration of the nuclear family, the family began to dissolve. Broken families have been created by the increase in divorce rates. These families are structured around a single parent, usually consisting of mother and child. Single-parent broken families are also single-parent families. While the cause of the single parent family has been divorces since the 1950s, illegitimate births have become the main cause since the 1970s. This situation causes even more destructive effects on the family structure. While there is separation of parents in divorce, there is a problem of paternity in case of illegitimate birth. Legal regulations, facilitation of adoption and widespread use of surrogate mothers have led to a significant increase in single father families among single-parent families in recent years.In short, family structures that are very different from each other, which are divided into many types, and which are united in an unformed partnership with parents of two opposite sexes, are encountered. Turkish society has also been having difficulties in recent years in resisting the disintegration seen in the family structure. In this study, the disintegration in the family structure is analyzed for the five larger geographical units in which Uzunköprü takes part of. The dissolution in the family structure was carried out by analyzing the change experienced between 2014 and 2021. The findings show that families are in the process of disintegration at all five geographical levels, from Uzunköprü at the district level to the whole of Turkey at the country level. While extended families and nuclear families are decreasing, there is a significant increase in single-parent families and nonfamily households. In single-parent families, there is a dramatic increase especially in singlefather families. All these findings show that the disintegration process in the family in Turkish society coincides with the developed Western societies. It can be concluded that there is an urgent need for policies to strengthen the family so that the dissolved family structure, which has become a social problem in Western societies, does not deepen in Turkish society. In addition, the interest in this subject in the national literature is extremely limited and more original research is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the evolution of the concept of old age in perceptions and places from the past to our time was discussed with a focus on the never-ending quest for status in a changing and transforming society. The solutions naturally developed by the society over the natural course using traditional motifs against threats to the values of societies, which are increasingly becoming like each other in the globalizing world, were investigated. In this study, which aims to clarify the current situation of the old age phenomenon in Anatolian culture and to seek a new position based on the cultural and religious codes of the society, the descriptive method has been adopted, contemporary literature sources have been scanned, and the historical process in the Anatolian geography has been examined. In this context, the religious and cultural responsibilities of individuals, family members, and society for the protection of the functions of old people in society were addressed in the study, touching on the concept of aging in place and the practice of residing closer to family elders. As a result, it has been emphasized that it is a necessity for the elderly to maintain their place in the family and society today, as they are positioned on the axis of love, respect and compassion in Turkish-Islamic culture, to be able to make cultural transfer to their grandchildren, and to live in their homes where they feel a sense of belonging and receive the necessary services at home. A space should be created for old people to allow them to exist by sharing their rich life experiences with others instead of forcing them to make choices where they will be isolated from life, the family, young generations, and social relations. Reasonable methods should be sought for developing and implementing policies to ensure that the entire society can make use of the precious treasury of experiences of old people instead of hiding this treasury away in old age asylums where responsibilities and care related to them are undertaken through institutional services.
