Public Action at the Intersection of Two Public Policies in France and Canada: A Comparative Analysis | Chapter 8 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

 

The term “migrant” refers to foreign immigration policies in the field of the fight against AIDS; it is not suitable for public health issues around immigration concerning immigrants (those arriving) than those already installed on the territory as well. This article is from the statement of a contrast between a strong associative mobilisation around the health of migrants in France during the 2000s and the relative weakness of the dynamics of community organisations around this problem in Canada during the same period. This article investigates how France and Canada, despite their different political systems, address the challenges faced by migrants living with HIV/AIDS from endemic countries. The objective is to analyse how immigration policy and public health policy intersect in shaping responses to this issue. The study relies on a comparative policy analysis supported by documentary review and interviews with key stakeholders in both countries. The findings highlight three main differences: (1) approaches to AIDS prevention and care, with France emphasising coercion and control and Canada privileging cooperation and inclusion; (2) immigration policy, which is more selective in France and more generalized in Canada; and (3) treatment of HIV-positive migrants, where France applies non-systematic screening while Canada has adopted systematic screening. Despite these contrasts, two common trends emerge: first, restrictive immigration measures reduce the rights of migrants in the field of public health; and second, policy responses are increasingly framed through a humanitarian lens that treats access to care as an exceptional measure for foreigners with serious illnesses.

 

This convergence reveals the tension between immigration control and health protection, and shows how both countries combine rights restriction with humanitarian exception in managing HIV/AIDS among migrants.

The Dynamics of Blame Attribution toward China and Planned Behaviour in Australian COVID-19 Compliance | Chapter 4 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 3

 

In times of crisis and uncertainty, individuals often attribute blame to certain entities or people. The process of blame attribution plays a significant role in shaping public perception and behaviour during a crisis. During COVID-19, public perceptions of government effectiveness and transparency have influenced blame attribution. This study examines the relationship between blame attribution and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) elements in influencing compliance with COVID-19 public health measures in Australia. It reveals that blaming individuals, rather than governments, surprisingly increases support for governmental regulations, highlighting the complex interplay between blame attribution and public adherence to health policies. The study underscores the importance of subjective norms and behavioural control in shaping public responses. Key findings indicate that while blame attribution towards different entities affects compliance behaviours, subjective norms and behavioural control significantly influence both self-protection intentions and support for government regulations. These results suggest that understanding the dynamics of blame attribution and TPB elements is crucial for developing effective health communication strategies and public policy design, ultimately enhancing societal adherence to essential regulations during health crises.

Public Policy for Regulating the Interaction between Labor Market Supply and Higher Education Demand in Israel: A Case Study | Chapter 9 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 9

In recent decades, the global labour market in general, and the Israeli labour market in particular, have seen significant changes, affecting the availability of jobs in many occupations. The study's objectives are as follows: To begin, determine the relationship between trends in labour supply and trends in higher education demand. Second, to figure out which way this encounter is going. Third, to look into Israeli public policy that may have an impact on one or both of these developments. and Finally, to give recommendations to policymakers regarding necessary changes in the nature of policy governing higher education regulation and adaptation to the demands of a dynamic labour market. There appears to be a link between changes in the labour market's supply of jobs and adjustments in demand for higher education. A bidirectional link between the job market and the higher education system may be shown in two case studies in the Israeli economy. In one scenario, it was discovered that when the number of jobs in the field of computers and engineering grows, so does the need for academic education in this subject. In the second scenario, increased demand for legal academic education resulted in a flooded labour market, which had negative consequences for the sector. The public policy established in Israel to regulate the labour market and higher education system is short-term in nature, and it consists of retrospectively examining actual circumstances and attempting to improve them by directing students to various disciplines in order to meet the labour market's needs or correct its failures. It does not, however, explore future trends or attempt to discover future needs or flaws that may be predicted now.
