++++ Apologies for x-posting ++++ The submission deadline for abstract is 12 March 2018. Call for Papaers The 15th East Asian Social Policy (EASP) Research Network Annual Conference 'Social Policy in Post-Growth East Asia' 5-6 July 2018 at the University of Bristol, UK Two decades have passed since the Asian Financial Crisis, many East Asian societies now share similar post-growth characteristics such as low economic growth, precarious labour markets, ageing of the population, and declining marriage and fertility rates. One of the outcomes is widening social stratification. Within such post-growth social context, the 2018 conference will examine the impact of social, economic and demographic changes on social policy and consider challenges facing the region. We encourage papers which engage with theoretical, empirical and practical aspects. Comparative analysis within and across East Asia and beyond is particularly welcome. We also welcome papers by postgraduate students, early-career researchers, as well as established scholars working in the field of social policy on East Asia. The conference consists of the following streams as well as other aspects of social policy (open stream) within post-growth social context: Stream 1: Welfare states and welfare regimes Stream 2: Governance, democracy and participation Stream 3: Migration, citizenship and diversity Stream 4: Family and care Stream 5: Health and well-being Stream 6: Poverty and social exclusion Stream 7: Education Stream 8: Ageing and the life-course Stream 9: Work, labour market and security Stream 10: Housing and urbanisation Stream 11: Social protection Stream 12: Economic and environmental sustainability Stream 13: Open stream Those who wish to present a paper at the conference should submit a 250 word abstract to the Network ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by Monday 12 March 2018.
