Consumer Access NC Polling Presentation
The document discusses several issues related to consumer credit in North Carolina:
1) A majority of North Carolina voters believe the economy and unemployment are the most important issues facing the state.
2) While public opinion is divided on access to credit services, those who faced a financial crisis in the past year saw greater need for more access.
3) When in need of a small loan, North Carolinians prefer turning to family/friends or banks over other options like payday lenders or online lenders. However, online lenders ranked third among those who previously faced a financial crisis.
4) There is disagreement on whether high-risk borrowers should pay higher interest rates, with conservatives generally

Contracting for Services in Public Sector - 11 & 12 Aug - Canberra
This document provides information about an upcoming two-day conference on contracting for services in the public sector. The conference will provide procurement and contracting professionals in the public sector with knowledge and strategies to ensure they deliver the right outcomes for all stakeholders. Speakers will discuss topics like early supplier engagement, flexibility in contracts, performance measurement, and relationship management. The document outlines the agenda, with sessions on contracting challenges, objective setting, case studies on innovation through supplier engagement, and workshops on topics like governance models and contract management. The conference aims to equip procurement officers with tools and approaches to effectively contract for services.
Complex Contracting in the Public Sector
This paper was was written by Trevor Brown (John Glenn School of Public Affairs, The Ohio State University), Matthew Potoski (Department of Political Science, Iowa State University), and David Van Slyke (Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University) for the Kettering Symposium on Public Accountability, May 22 - 24, 2008.
It is an interestingly insightful and useful paper that has be used as a reference point for the February 4th, 2010 Contacting Intelligence Post: Complex contracting in the public sector: Managing relations and negotiating contracts in the absence of market discipline (http://wp.me/pYOvn-7u)
Yes Virginia! A Profile In Excellence White Paper
Who Can Benefit from this Paper?
This thought provoking white paper is an essential resource tool for public sector organizations that are already in the midst of an established program, or ones who are contemplating a change. Although they do not operate within the same framework of a public or government entity, private sector companies can also gain important insight as the paper’s principles are universal in their applicability.
Utilizing an advanced research methodology, the primary objective of this paper is to provide policy-makers (and those affected by government policy) with a multi-dimensional “objective lens” through which they will be able to view the veracity of both existing as well as contemplated initiatives. The resulting insights will empower program champions to take the necessary steps to deliver tangible and sustainable results.
The End of Commissioning
Commissioning is at an end. Its time for a better way of thinking about the relationship between the state, the citizen and public services.
Ageing as a social problem
This document discusses aging as a social problem and outlines several key points. It defines elders as those aged 60 and over, notes that the global population of those over 60 will double by 2050, and states that Sri Lanka currently has one of the fastest aging populations in Asia. It then explores how an aging population can strain government resources by requiring more spending on housing, healthcare, and pensions. The document also examines vulnerabilities older people face in emergencies related to health issues, isolation, and economic challenges. Finally, it suggests that families, communities, and governments all have roles in supporting the elderly.

National programme for elderly final
The document outlines India's National Programme for Health Care of Elderly (NPHCE). Key points:
1) NPHCE aims to provide accessible and high-quality healthcare services to India's aging population through community-based primary care and establishing regional geriatric centers.
2) Services include health promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation delivered at sub-centers, PHCs, CHCs, district hospitals and 8 regional geriatric centers.
3) The program strategy involves training healthcare workers, establishing geriatric infrastructure at various levels, and promoting convergence across departments serving elderly populations.
community geriatrics
Geriatrics focuses on healthcare for elderly patients. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults. Caring for older patients requires understanding their diseases, support systems, and personal goals to create an appropriate care plan. There is no set age threshold for geriatric care; it depends on individual patient needs and specialist availability. Globally and in India, the elderly population is growing rapidly and will nearly double by 2025. Common health issues among the elderly include cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological, and accidental problems. The Indian government provides various social and healthcare programs to support the elderly population.

These include things like discrimination against HIV-positive individuals under the Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act. Overall, the document analyzes how health-related laws aim to safeguard public health but may also have unintended impacts if not properly understood and followed.
old age issues
Older adults in India face several financial challenges in their retirement years. Many lack a steady income source after leaving the workforce and have assets like property but not enough liquid cash, making them "asset rich, cash poor". Healthcare costs are also rising without adequate insurance coverage. Daily living expenses are increasing with inflation. Some seniors feel lonely without a spouse or strong family support network. They are also vulnerable to financial scams. While some families take in elderly parents, many end up in old age homes due to lack of financial support, family disputes, or unavailability of caretakers.
Partnering with help age india
1) HelpAge India is a leading non-profit organization that has worked for over 30 years to advocate for and care for disadvantaged older people in India.
2) It runs numerous programs across the country, including mobile healthcare clinics, physiotherapy, palliative care, livelihood support, and residential facilities, to help seniors live dignified lives.
3) The organization also works to raise awareness of issues affecting the elderly like healthcare access and poverty, as India's aging population is projected to double over the next 20-30 years, presenting immense needs.
Dewr presentation aug 07
The document discusses strategies to raise workforce participation and reduce welfare dependency in Australia. It argues that while training and education can help some groups like women rejoin the workforce, it may have limited impact for those with low IQ or skills, as many jobs now require minimum IQ levels or skills above what some groups can attain. It suggests two alternatives - creating more low-skilled, low-wage job opportunities through services, or accepting that conditional welfare will be a long-term reality for some with limited capabilities.

Ageing in Smart Cities
1) As the global population ages, the percentage of people over 65 will double to 20% by 2050, increasing healthcare costs and burden on families and systems of elderly care.
2) Smart cities aim to address this by enabling elderly to age in place through remote health monitoring, emergency alert systems, and accessibility features to promote independent and assisted living.
3) Technologies like telehealth, wearable sensors, and social robots can help monitor safety, provide care reminders, and connect seniors to caregivers and healthcare professionals for improved quality of life and reduced costs.
Elder violence ppt
This document discusses elder abuse in India. It notes that India's population is aging as mortality and fertility rates decline. Elder abuse is underreported and often seen as a family matter. The types of elder abuse include physical, sexual, emotional, financial, and neglect. Risk factors for abuse include poor health and cognitive issues, as well as caregiver stress. Children are the most common perpetrators. Government policies aim to support elders through programs, pensions, and laws against abandonment and mistreatment. More awareness campaigns and support services are still needed to address the growing issue of elder abuse in India.

Making Rights Real
This document discusses key issues in disability and aged care systems and proposes ways to advance citizenship rights through self-directed support. It advocates for personal budgets and upstream solutions to prevent crises. It also highlights the need for innovation from communities, professionals, and individuals to develop sustainable and inclusive systems that respect people's freedom, support, participation, and citizenship.
Profiting from Hunger
Sabrina Espeleta of War on Want outlines the enormous and growing level of world hunger. She explains how a few global corporations control the vast majority of food production and supply and markets exploit the food market, leaving communities, especially in the Global South at great disadvantage. Local peasant farmers are now organising to achieve food sovereignty, seeking to farm in ways in harmony with nature and to meet local needs. The Global North needs to respect the rights and autonomy of these people rather than to continue the pattern of exploitation.
This presentation was given on 6 July in Part 4 of a webinar series on grassroots policies for farming, food and wildlife.

UBI and Homelessness
Simon Duffy was asked by the Mayor’s Greater Manchester Charity and UBI Lab Manchester to talk at a recent roundtable event on the relevance of Universal Basic Income (UBI) to the problem of homelessness.
These are the slides from that talk. In summary Duffy argued that UBI is relevant to reducing homelessness in two slightly different ways:
1. UBI would help prevent homelessness - UBI addresses the inequalities in income and housing that create the risk of homelessness.
2. UBI would help people escape homelessness - UBI gives people a vital tool which significantly helps people change their situation in times of crisis.
