[The Social Protection Law].

Different levels of possible psychiatrist's mediations in Belgian legal procedures are detailed and a functional analysis of the first July 1964 Social Protection Law is proposed. The role of each participant is defined and commented. This is followed by a review of the recognized psychiatric pathology in a daily practice with confined patients in a social protection hospital. Finally, comparisons between DSM III-R diagnoses of confined patients and patients hospitalized in a local psychiatric hospital underlines the differences between these two institutions.

[The social protection of pregnant women and young mothers in Europe].

Through the study of perinatal legislation in 24 European countries, the authors have analyzed Social Protection for pregnant women and young mothers. For maternity leave, the durations of pre- and post-natal leaves were compared, including its possible variations according to the obstetrical pathology and the number of births in different countries. Maternity benefits vary from 50 to 100% of the previous salary and a payment curve shows considerable differences in salaries or the global benefits attributed. Parental leave, which has only recently been created in some countries, is subject to great variations from one country to another and sometimes even within the same country, according to the public or private sectors of activity. Protection of the single parent and the benefits or allowances at birth are studied as well as benefits for infants. The latter were pioneered by France and have not been emulated in many other countries. In the discussion the authors try to establish the motivations leading to the various perinatal measures in Europe, be they social, medical or demographic. They consider the possibility of harmonization, but homogeneity, which has to respect existing sociological, cultural and ideological particularities. This work continues according to the guidelines laid down by the European Parliament, which could, in due course, comprise the whole continent, bearing in mind the probable transfer of populations expected in the last years of this century.

[Rethinking social protection in health in Latin America and the Caribbean].

Despite what is written in the constitutions and other basic document mandates of the countries of the Region, exclusion from social protection in health (SPH) affects an important proportion of the population (at least 20%, which represents, in absolute figures, between 80 and 200 million people). These estimates are obtained through a series of theoretical (social security coverage) and practical indicators that encompass structural indicators (poverty, ethnicity, and geographical barriers) as well as process indicators (non-institutional births, compliance with vaccination schedules, and access to basic sanitation). Exclusion levels in a society are affected by the degree of segmentation of the health system. Traditionally, most countries of the Region have had a public, a social security and a private subsystem in health. Lack of attention to the problem has resulted in the formation of a community-based subsystem. The coexistence of many subsystems, along with poor regulation on the part of health authorities, has resulted in high levels of exclusion and inefficient resource allocation within the sector. The organization of social dialogue processes focusing on SPH within the context of health sector reform initiatives in each country is recommended. The process, which should be participatory, should include a full diagnosis of the situation (how many are excluded, who are they, and why, and what mechanisms are the most appropriate for tackling the issue in each country). It should also provide a political and technical feasibility analysis of the most suitable options for each society, and a determination of whether or not conventional subsystems have exhausted their potential. The process should culminate in a program for implementing the specific proposals made in each society, in an effort to maximize SPH.

[The nuclear family and social protection of children].

The nuclear family is the consequence and reflection of rapid industrialization of the country. It requires a wider safeguarding of infancy in the framework of more extensive social and care service structures. Kindergartens and nursery schools are the basic answers to child care, coupled with the network of independent institutions, and hospitals, out-patients centres and school medical services, and the local health unit, which supervises services in its district. Mention is also made of the measures still needed to ensure that kindergartens and nursery schools are available and efficient, and what must still be done with regard to school medicine (prophylaxis, retrieval of the handicapped, rehabilitation) to achieve a more advanced system of social protection in childhood.

[Tuberculosis morbidity in medical workers and the measures for their social protection].

Tuberculosis morbidity among the medical workers has been studied in 39 territories of Russia. It has been established that medical personnel contract tuberculosis much frequently than the population of Russia on the whole. Morbidity is particularly high among the personnel of institutions of the antituberculous service, being 293.3 per 100,000 working subjects. Tuberculosis morbidity is higher among females (78.8%) and in subjects aged before 50 years (81.4%). Success of tuberculosis control among the medical personnel can be provided by actively solving the problems of tuberculosis prevention, including the organization of health improvement measures under conditions of sanatorium and measures aimed at social protection.

Social protection for retirees: the diminishing role of employers.

Jobs are changing in ways that will reduce benefits for retirees. This paper explores the variety of pressures that will tend to produce this result. One major factor is that employers have been responding to cost pressures and the need for flexibility by redesigning jobs. There has been a trend--which is likely to continue--toward more part-time and temporary jobs, more subcontracting, and more contingent-pay systems. The consequences are complex and not all bad, but for retirees the tendency will be toward fewer, less generous, or less secure benefits. As workers approach retirement age facing the prospect of diminished benefits, increasing numbers of them will have to choose work to maintain their standard of living. At the same time, demographic pressures will gradually push employers to seek new pools of workers, including retirees. Gradually, employers are likely to provide fewer social-protection benefits to older people, but more employment opportunities.
