Spreminjanje sistema blaginje v postsocialističnih državah in primer Slovenije

Mandič, Srna (author)

The article examines the changes occurring in the welfare systems of post-socialist Central European countries, with a particular focus on Slovenia. First, an overview is given of wider debates about the transition and the transitional welfare reforms, highlighting the impact of distributive struggles on the course of the reforms. By summarising findings on the outcomes of major reforms in the region, it is shown how the long-term concerns about demographic ageing have been overshadowed by the current distributive struggles. This is most notably the case with the pension and long-term care systems. Long-term care is highlighted due to it lagging behindin the modernisation of services and introduction of insurance schemes to cover costs. It is argued that long-term care, as a policy domain, has beenspecifically strongly victimised by the transition; the system is not being allowed to respond to the newly emerged needs, with old-age care thus largely remaining locked within the private sphere, as a private matter subject to family support.

Abstract

Članek analizira spremembe na področju blaginje v postsocialističnih srednjeevropskih državah in še posebej v Sloveniji. Najprej poda pregled ključnih razprav o samem procesu tranzicije, o reformah države blaginje ter o vplivu distribucijskih interesnih bojev na njihovo smer. Predstavi ugotovitve analitikov o poteku reform na nekaj področjih blaginje in izpostavi tezo, da so v senci distribucijskih bojev ostala zanemarjena dolgoročna razvojna vprašanja, kot sta npr. demografsko staranje in temu primerna prilagoditev sistema blaginje, kar je posebej aktualno v zvezi s pokojninsko reformo in z dolgotrajno oskrbo starejših. Oskrbo starejših izpostavlja kot domeno, ki jo je tranzicija specifično in močno prizadela; zaradi tranzicije oskrba starejših močno zamuja z modernizacijo storitev in zavarovanjem stroškov ter tako v veliki meri ostaja v zasebni sferi, zasebna zadeva in predmet pomoči družine.
