Social Security Systems in Times of Crisis
A French-Japanese Perspective
Faced with health, demographic, economic, or climate crises, the study of social security systems reveals, in both France and Japan, an adaptation of norms, institutions, and social policies. Varied in their nature, intensity, and duration, these crises raise the question of access to rights for users of public health and social services. In Japan as in France, the Covid-19 health crisis reopened the vast debate on the sustainability of social security systems inherited from the twentieth century and their necessary adaptation to the imperatives of the twenty-first century. How can we prevent the burden of social security systems from being shifted onto future generations ? How can the concept of sustainable development be integrated into social security systems ? In the context of increasingly frequent crises, what meaning should be given to social security mechanisms, and what model of the « social State » should prevail ?
Published under the scientific direction of Loïc Levoyer (Professor of Public Law) and Karine Michelet (Lecturer in Public Law) at the University of Poitiers, this volume is the result of the discussions held during the international symposium « Social Protection Systems in Times of Crisis » organised at the University of Poitiers on 27-29 September 2023.
Publication by PUR is expected for the first quarter of 2026
