“…The convergence of a number of factors -weak economies, the aging population and the rise of the political right -have been identified by many authors as the impetus behind the assault on the welfare state in western nations which began in the early 1990s in Canada (Midgley, 1997;Teeple, 1995;Workman, 1996). As the preceding brief history of retirement in Canada has shown, the manipulation of factors that influence the labour force behaviour of older workers via pension and retirement polices has always been considered a legitimate means for managing the size and composition of the labour force and for thinning the ranks of corporations, even though here, the manipulation is viewed as systematic ageism.…”

The Evolution of Retirement as Systematic Ageism Lynn McDonaldQuestions that people ask, when they hear that mandatory retirement has been repealing include: will people be forced to toil longer to stay financially healthy? Will they change careers later in life to keep their interest in a subject or explore new interests? How will working longer affect their health? How will much older people affect the ambitions and working styles of younger colleagues? Will companies have to change their health and benefit plans to accommodate older people? This chapter discusses implications for both individuals and companies about hiring/retaining workers beyond the mandatory retirement age including differences in power relationships that place older workers who love and want to stay in their job in a compromised position. Issues related to international political economy will be addressed.Un certain nombre de questions reviennent souvent, quand les gens entendent que le départ à la retraite obligatoire a été supprimé: Vont-ils être obligés de travailler plus longtemps pour s'assurer de rester en bonne santé financière? Vont-ils devoir changer de carrière plus tard pour maintenir leur intérêt dans leur domaine professionnel ou devrontils explorer de nouveaux intérêts? Comment travailler plus longtemps affectera leur santé? Quelles incidences auront les travailleurs beaucoup plus âgés sur les ambitions et le style de travail de leurs collègues plus jeunes? Est-ce que les entreprises devront modifier leur plan de santé et régimes de retraite pour accueillir les personnes âgées? Ce chapitre examine les implications au niveau des travailleurs et des entreprises sur la politique d'embauche / rétention des travailleurs au-delà de l'âge de la retraite obligatoire, y compris les différences en terme de position de pouvoir qui placent les travailleurs âgés qui aiment et veulent maintenir leur emploi dans une position de compromis. Des questions liées à l'économie politique mondiale seront aussi abordées.

“…Or, il est connu que les politiques et les décisions de ces dernières ont des conséquences importantes dans tous les domaines (environnement, santé, culture, alimentation, développement, etc.) où oeuvrent les organisations spécialisées à vocation globale du système onusien (Foster et Anand, 1999 ;Weiss, 1998 ;Deacon, Hulse et Stubbs, 1997 ;Midgley, 1997 ;Smouts, 1995). Il reste un travail considérable à faire pour leur permettre de participer de manière importante à une « gouvernance mondiale » qui serait plus sensible aux valeurs de l'économie sociale et solidaire (McGrew, 1999).…”

This paper try to review the practice of Islamic welfare system (such as zaka, waqf, shadaqa, infaq, hibah and qurban) dealing with poor people in rural area. Then, this study looks at four main issues, namely how the structure of the commitee, the management of such system, fund rising strategy, and people accessibility to this welfare system. In order to deal with this, it is used some frameworks namely; firstly, the welfare strategy as proposed by Spicker (1995) including economic production, redistribution, and solidarity. Secondly, the concept of welfare offered by Azmi (1991), Midgley (1997), and Zastrow (2004. This research took place in North and South Wonorejo, a village located in Magelang district, Central Java. Finding of this research shows that this scheme has operated conventionaly and has not contributed much on enhancing people welfare. There is no formal institution that organizes all element of such scheme. As the social welfare institution, this system ideally offers program, benefits and services that help people meets those social, economic, educational and health needs. However, there is no specific program for the poor people offered by the committee of the Islamic welfare scheme. June 2011: 37-67 Studi ini berusaha mengkaji praktik system kesejahteraan dalam Islam (seperti zakat, wakaf, shadaqah, infak, hibah dan qurban) dalam hubungannya dengan masyarakat miskin di wilayah pedesaan. Kajian melihat empat persoalan utama, yakni bagaimana struktur panitia, pengelolaan sistem kesejahteraan, strategi pengumpulan dana, dan akses masyarakat terhadap sistem tersebut. Untuk menjawab persoalan ini, kajian mempergunakan kerangka kerja antara lain strategi kesejahteraan sebagaimana diusulkan Spicker (1995) termasuk produksi, redsitribusi, dan solidaritas ekonomi, dan konsep kesejahteraan sebagaimana dikemukakan Azmi (1991), Midgley (1997), dan Zastrow (2004. Kajian ini dilakukan di Desa Wonorejo Utara dan Selatan, Magelang, Jawa Tengah. Kajian ini menemukan antara lain: skema kesejahteraan masih dilakukan secara konvensional dan tidak banyak berkontribusi terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat. Tidak ada lembaga resmi yang mengorganisir semua unsur dalam skema tersebut. Sebagai lembaga kesejahteraan sosial, sistem ini idealnya menawarkan program, manfaat dan layanan yang menolong masyarakat dalam memenuhi kebutuhan-kebutuhan ekonomi, sosial, pendidikan dan kesehatan. Namun demikian, tidak ada program khusus bagi masyarakat miskin yang ditawarkan oleh pengelola skema kesejahteraan Islam. IJIMS,Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies, Volume 1, Number 1,
