Social Assistance Dependency as A Social Assistance Problem

Öz

Social assistance dependency, in other words, social assistance syndrome is used to explain the situation in which social assistance recipients discourage from working because of the way the benefits are designed and delivered. It is critical to understand the concept of social assistance addiction in order to assess the effectiveness of the addiction phenomenon thought to be created by social assistance on individuals and households. In this study, it is argued that the reason for the culture of passivity that develops with social assistance is not receiving help, but rather the construction and implementation of assistance programs. In this context, it is investigated how the addiction culture, which is also a result of intergenerational poverty, develops among children, whether there is a causal link between generations in social assistance intake, and the reason if there is a difference in the dependency culture of women versus men. Should this framework generally be considered dependent on allied recipients? It has been explored whether it is possible to establish a link between the level and duration of help they receive and addiction. Literatür taramasına dayalı olan bu çalışmada, konu ile ilgili literatür eleştirel bir çerçevede değerlendirilmekte ve farklı araştırma sonuçlarına göre değerlendirmeler yapılmaktadır. The results show that social assistance is critical to countering the insecurity and vulnerability experienced by individuals in chronic poverty, supporting human development, helping them access opportunities to escape poverty, and disrupting intergenerational transmission.

Sosyal Yardım Sorunu Olarak Sosyal Yardım Bağımlılığı

Öz

Sosyal yardım bağımlılığı başka bir ifade ile sosyal yardım sendromu kavramı, sosyal yardımların kurgulanma ve sunulma şekli nedeniyle yardım alıcılarını çalışmaktan vazgeçirmesi durumunu açıklamak için kullanılmaktadır. Sosyal yardımların bireyler ve haneler üzerinde yarattığı düşünülen bağımlılık olgusunun, gerçekte ne derece etkili olduğunu değerlendirmek için sosyal yardım bağımlılığı kavramı anlamak, yardımların etkinliği açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada sosyal yardım alma ile gelişen pasiflik kültürünün nedeni olarak yardım almak değil, yardım programlarının kurgulanmasından ve uygulanmasından kaynaklandığı savunulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda nesiller arası yoksulluğun da bir sonucu olan bağımlılık kültürünün çocuklar arasında nasıl geliştiği, sosyal yardım alımında kuşaklar arası bir nedensellik bağının olup olmadığı, kadınların erkeklere oranla bağlılık kültüründe bir farklılaşma var ise bunun nedenlerinin neler olabileceği ve genel olarak yardım alanların tümü bağımlı olarak kabul edilmeli midir? Eğer öyle ise aldıkları yardımın düzeyi ve süresi ile bağımlılık arasında bir bağlantı kurmak mümkün müdür? Sorularına cevap aranmaktadır. Literatür taramasına dayanan bu çalışmada, konu hakkındaki literatür eleştirel bir çerçevede ele alınarak, farklı araştırma sonuçlarına göre değerlendirmeler yapılmaktadır. Sonuçlar kronik yoksulluk içerisindeki bireylerin yaşadığı güvensizlik ve savunmasızlığa karşı koymak için sosyal yardımların kritik bir öneme sahip olduğu, insani gelişmeyi desteklediğini, yoksulluktan kurtulma fırsatlarına erişmelerine yardımcı olduğunu ve nesiller arası aktarımı kesintiye uğrattığını göstermektedir.
