| 描述 | .This study traces the welfare regimes of Mauritius and South Africa from theearly 20th century focusing on the historical circumstances that gave rise to thedominance of state-funded old-age pensions within their respective welfareframeworks. It highlights intersections between powerful business interests, thestate, and social forces that sowed the seeds of social entitlements. Due todifferent mobilisation efforts of these social actors, both countries have spawnedwelfare regimes of different persuasions. Mauritius has maintained its long-standing traditions as a social democracy stretching back to the late 1950s, whileSouth Africa continues relentlessly in pursuit of a liberal welfare state, a journeyit has treaded since 1928 when the old-age pension laws first came into effect.While unravelling the innermost workings of welfare state development inMauritius and South Africa, it also probes the present political and economiccircumstances that have kept these two welfare regimes resolutely unchanged.Against this backdrop, it draws parallels between current welfare outcomes andthose of old as they continue to chart their way into the future.. |
