Finding Solutions to Societal Problems: 2nd International Virtual SBRlab ConferenceTorres-Coronas, Teresa; Belzunegui-Eraso, Angel; Moreno-Gené, JosepSince 2007 and the economic meltdown caused by the financial crisis, the world faces huge challenges. In Europe, the 2017 Eurobarometer highlights some of the European citizens’ concerns. A majority of respondents think that the life of today’s children will be more difficult than the life of those from their own generation. At the same time, reducing inequality and social exclusion, protecting the environment, progress and innovation, harmonizing education and social welfare systems and migration policies are some of the issues Europe should address by 2030. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world. For that reason new ideas, strategies and interdisciplinary research are needed for overcoming all these problems. Conducting research based on of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods designs, researchers from a wide range of disciplines have been looking for solutions. Now it is time make a side stop on the way and to gather results. The 2nd International SBRLab Conference, Finding solutions to societal problems, is organized by the Social and Business Research Lab (SBRLab), Universitat Rovira i Virgili. It is as an international and virtual meeting point of interdisciplinary research and researchers. Its main purpose is to bring together researchers from management, economics, political, social and legal disciplines in order to present and discuss new trends in their respective fields.- La socialización de la pobreza: cambios en los perfiles de la población pobre en EspañaBelzunegui-Eraso, Angel; Borbonès Brescó, Carme; Valls Fonayet, FrancescEn este primer número de Quaderns per a la Inclusió se aborda la realidad de la pobreza en España. La tesis que se defiende en este trabajo es la existencia de un proceso de socialización de la pobreza, en el sentido de que el riesgo de pobreza y la vulnerabilidad social se extienden a capas sociales y a grupos de edad que antes quedaban relativamente protegidos de las situaciones desfavorecidas. Se analizan los factores que contribuyen a ese proceso de socialización, entre los que destacan la situación de los sujetos en el mercado de trabajo, el tipo de hogar donde viven y su nivel de formación. Para alguno de estos indicadores se lleva a cabo también una comparativa a nivel estatal. Finalmente, se describe la estrategia 2020 adoptada por la Unión Europea con el propósito de reducir las tasas de pobreza, y se concretan las directrices que la propia UE ha dictado para sus miembros con vistas a alcanzar ese objetivo.
- Findings solutions for a post-crisis society: 1st International Virtual SBRLAB ConferenceTorres-Coronas, Teresa; Belzunegui-Eraso, Angel; Moreno-Gené, JosepSince 2007 and the economic meltdown caused by the financial crisis, our societies have been evolving in different ways. New political movements have emerged in Southern Europe and new social movements in pursuit of common concerns are playing a more active role in our daily lives. In a parallel way, after the failure to predict the financial crisis, economist and social science researchers seek fresh thinking and new models that can better explain this new reality. Regulations are of critical importance in shaping the welfare of economies and society. Thus, core legal disciplines are exploring the effects of the financial crisis on social rights, labour market regulations, and civil, common law or international law, among others. With no doubt, the economic crisis has deeply impacted our economic, social, political and legal environment. During the last decade, researchers from a wide range of disciplines have been looking for solutions. Now it is time make a side stop on the way and to gather results. The 1rst International SBRLab Conference, Finding solutions for a post-crisis society, is organized by the Social and Business Research Lab (SBRLab), Universitat Rovira i Virgili. It is as an international and virtual meeting point of interdisciplinary research and researchers. The purpose of this international conference is to bring together researchers from management, economics, political, social and legal disciplines in order to present and discuss new trends in their respective fields.
