Chapter 11. The Economics of Group Care Practice

Abstract

For the past two decades, economic influences have significantly impacted the provision of health and welfare services for children, young people and their families in communities around the world. The dynamic of cost has reshaped both the nature and provision of group care services, promoting de-institutionalization and transforming the nature of caring services offered in local communities. In a reappraisal of themes identified in his seminal contribution more than two decades ago, this leading authority looks back at key themes impacting on the economics of social care that shape group care services for the new millennium.

Methodology

Abstract

Any discussions about specialized helping environments for children or young people would be incomplete without reference to the relationships found between practices in group care centers and schools. This involves thinking of a child's total environment as a curriculum for teaching competencies and learning outcomes important to daily living. The task involves making a conscious effort to deal with a child's functioning in the present, thereby avoiding diagnostic conclusions that emphasize difficulties in one area of their life as the cause of learning problems.

Familial Correlates of Overt and Relational Aggression between Young Adolescent Siblings

Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group structural equation modeling were used to test correlates of overt and relational aggression between young adolescent siblings across four groups (i.e., male/male, male/female, female/male, and female/female sibling pairs), using 433 predominately European American families. Similar patterns of associations were found across groups when distinguished by gender composition. Family environment emerged as an important factor in explaining internalizing problems as well as overt/relational aggression for both younger and older siblings. While perceived maternal psychological control was significantly positively related to overt/relational aggression and internalizing problems for younger siblings, it was significantly positively associated with only relational aggression for older siblings. Findings also provided partial support for the positive linkages between young adolescents’ aggression and their own and siblings’ internalizing problems above and beyond the aforementioned family and maternal variables. Results of the current study extend the understanding of adolescent aggression to a new relational context, or among siblings, and highlight the role of family factors in promoting or buffering the impact of aggression on internalizing behaviors.

论中国外商投资法的发展趋势——中国改革开放30年外商投资法律制度的回顾和展望

在对外开放的30年中，外商投资企业作为利用外商直接投资的主要形式，中国已经积累了丰富的经验。与此同时，中国外商投资企业法律制度也随之得以产生和发展，并在世界贸易组织规则的框架下得到了进一步的完善。在中国加入世界贸易组织、实行社会主义市场经济的今天，改革当初以企业立法形式确立的外商投资企业法已不能完全适应中国当前改革开放和世界经济一体化进程的需要。在世界贸易组织的“国民待遇”原则下，中国外商投资企业法必然地会从目前实行的“双轨制”企业立法阶段发展到国家宏观调控立法阶段的外商投资法典制阶段，从而使外商投资者和中国国内的各市场经济主体一样，在中国享有真正法律意义上的国民待遇。
