The paper presents the analysis of pensioning as a social contract. The aim of research is to reveal the features of the Russian pension contract taking into account transformations of pension process in the 2000s. In accordance with the aims this article analyzes the contract bases of pension interactions. As a methodological basis the author applies the theory of social contracts, institutional model of the Principal-Agent and the McGuire-Olson theory of stationary bandit. The conducted research offers to consider pensioning as a special case of a social contract. It also identifies the general trend in changes of the Russian pension contract during the period since 2002 till the present period. The pension policy in 2002-2018 resulted in further strengthening of the state position as a stakeholder of the pension contract, decrease in the role of private structures in pensioning, replacement of pension accumulating with a distribution method, reduction in the value of personified interactions in the pension process and, on the contrary, increase in the role of common pension rules as an implicit basis of the pension contract.

Recently released archives from the Irish military service pensions collection (M.S.P.C.) offer an important opportunity to examine the post-conflict experience of veterans of guerrilla conflicts. Pensioning has been used effectively to study the post-conflict lives of veterans of conventional wars but the experience of guerrillas after the conflict is largely limited to analysing the security threat posed to peace by these former combatants. The pensions awarded to veterans of the Irish revolution (1916-1923) indicate that recognition was central to veterans' concerns and serve as a useful historical example of the post-conflict reintegration of ex-combatants.

For many people the pensioning is a new condition as well as new challenge fulfilled with many news and uncertainty. The fact that the work lifetime is finished, involves him in a totally unknown and new situation, a challenge which leads to cancelling of all that have fulfilled their lives till then. The person at that age must face up with the truth that his work abilities are getting weaker and it is the right time to retire and leave the workplace to the younger generation. Oftentimes the challenges in the old people life are with negative connotation, followed with feeling of confusion, consternation, inferiority, decreased self-confidence and high sentimentality in relations with the other people. Also, the conditions of pensioning are followed with new problems which must be overcome. The main aim of this research paper is to investigate the conditions and challenges in the modern living of the old people in terms of contemporary social care in Republic of Macedonia. In the investigation of the social care of the old people, we treated the organized and spontaneous forms, acts and activities which reflect the quality of living of the old people. In the investigation are included 600 participants above 60 years old with stratified example in appropriate relation by age and gender, place of living (Skopje, Kumanovo, Kicevo and Strumica) and ethnicity, and at the same time the example is designed based on the institutions where the investigation is completed. The findings on the status and challenges of the aging are based on the strive for the realization of progressive approaches, legislation, programs and strategies to improve the lives of the old people. The main aim of this research is gaining knowledge and challenges in contemporary life of the old people, especially in terms of social care to create conditions, guidelines and bases for an organized approach.

This article, based on personnel records, examines the context in which Jewish employees were banished from the Dresdner Bank. Although the bank, stateowned since 1931, was forced to apply the Berufsbeamtengesetz, the flawless implementation of these anti-Jewish measures cannot be explained soley by the suppressive character of the Nazi regime. Contrary to customary belief, several instances in which bank officers helped former employees, prove that opportunities to circumvent the de-Judaization process did exist. The reasons for the overall success of the Nazis' anti-Jewish policy were varied, though anti-Semitism, which was widespread in German society, was foremost among them. Secondly, emergency decrees dating from the final days of the Weimar Republic were used as a model for legislation which empowered the state to intervene in personnel matters of the banking industry. Under a guise of legitimacy, these actions anticipated further anti-Semitic measures which limited the banks' freedom to act. Thirdly, in 1932 the pensioning off of nearly 25 % of all employees left only a few elderly bank officers remaining in managerial positions. As a result, the number of retirements for the foreseeable future had been considerably reduced, and the prospects for advancement of young employees who had just begun their careers thereby limited. Thus, many non-Jewish employees personally profited from the anti-Semitic policies of the Dresdner Bank. (Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte / FUB)

Frente a los requerimientos para el pago efectivo de las pretensiones que se demanden, los entes públicos han respondido de diversa manera, sobre todo cuando lo que se dispone es el cumplimiento del pago de montos pensionarios; aun cuando existen prohibiciones absolutas a todas las autoridades, como son las de dejar sin efecto resoluciones que han pasado en autoridad de cosa juzgada o se retarde su ejecución. Los órganos judiciales son quienes deben reaccionar frente a ulteriores actuaciones o comportamientos enervantes de sus decisiones, adoptando las medidas oportunas y necesarias para llevar a efecto la ejecución del fallo.También, resulta imprescindible proponer alguna medida para asegurar el respeto irrestricto del debido proceso y la tutela jurisdiccional efectiva, con la consecuente ejecución de las sentencias en las que el Estado Peruano resulta ser el demandado. ; In response to the requests for the actual payment of the claims, public entities have responded in different forms, particularly when the order is the compliance of pensioning payments. Even though there are absolute prohibitions to all the authorities, such as to void resolutions actually considered as res judicata or delay their execution. Judiciary bodies are those to react in response to further actions or behaviors enervating from their decisions. They must adopt appropriate and necessary measures to carry out the judgment. It is also essential to propose some measures to guarantee the unconditional respect to the due process and the effective judicial protection; along with the execution of judgements where the Peruvian government ends up being the defendant.

The paper focuses on a special status of the Patriotic War invalids as a social group in a post-war Ukrainian society as well as the attitude towards them by the Soviet state. The Purpose of the Research. The objective is historically to reconstruct the basic principles of the Soviet policy on social protection of veterans with disabilities and its first results during the first post-war years. The Methodological Basis. The principles of objectivity, historicism, system, and research comprise the methodology basis. There have been applied historical and genetic, comparative, statistic, diachronic, historical and anthropological methods. The scientific novelty of the study consists in doing for the first time the analysis of the Soviet regime's attitude to the Patriotic War invalids against the background of the Third famine in Ukraine. The Conclusions. The institutionalization of the social protection system for the Patriotic War invalids in the Ukrainian SSR took place during the period of 1940 – 1946. During the period of 1940 and 1941 the authorities legitimated pensioning for the potential war invalids. With the outbreak of the German-Soviet war, the Union and Republic Governments identified people with disabilitiesas a result of the war with Germany among other invalids officially calling the first "the Patriotic War invalids" and adding some new forms of social protection for them. The number of the Patriotic War invalids abruptly increased under conditions of the worsened economic situation and the beginning of the Third famine in the Ukrainian SSR. We have determined the fact of decreasing the number of registered war-disabled people with the help of "thorough medical and labour examination". Medical and Labour Examination Commissions took such actions under the pressure of the Party and Government of the Ukrainian SSR. They declared invalids as "fully recovered". Besides, many front-line invalids were transferred to lower groups of disability. The Ukrainian Republic governance had to turn to such actions to avoid the budget deficit for the system of social protection and additional economy of bread. Key words: The Patriotic War invalids, social protection, pensioning, social protection bodies, Medical and Labour Examination Commissions, group of disability. ; Досліджено статус особливої соціальної групи післявоєнного українського суспільства – інвалідів Вітчизняної війни і ставлення до неї з боку радянської держави. Метою роботи є історична реконструкція провідних елементів радянської політики соціального захисту ветеранів-інвалідів і її результатів у перші післявоєнні роки. Методологію складають принципи об'єктивності, історизму, системності, науковості. Застосовано історико-генетичний, порівняльний, статистичний, діахронний, історико-антропологічний методи. Наукова новизна полягає у тому, що вперше проаналізовано ставлення радянського режиму до інвалідів Вітчизняної війни на тлі Третього голоду в Україні. Висновки. Становлення системи соціального забезпечення інвалідів Вітчизняної війни в УРСР відбувалося упродовж 1940 – 1946 рр. У 1940 – 1941 рр. влада юридично впорядкувала пенсіонування майбутніх інвалідів війни. З початком німецько-радянської війни постановами союзного та республіканського урядів було виділено осіб з інвалідністю внаслідок війни з Німеччиною з-посеред інших контингентів інвалідів, присвоєно їм офіційну назву "інваліди Вітчизняної війни" й додано нові види соціального захисту. В умовах погіршення економічної ситуації в УРСР і початку Третього голоду в республіці відбулося різке зростання кількості інвалідів Вітчизняної війни. Встановлено, що під тиском партійно-урядового керівництва УРСР Міністерство соціального забезпечення і Лікарсько-трудові експертні комісії провели акцію скорочення кількості взятих на облік інвалідів війни за допомогою "глибокої лікарсько-трудової експертизи", оголошуючи їх такими, що "цілком одужали". Крім того, багатьом інвалідам-фронтовикам знизили групу інвалідності. Причиною таких дій керівництва республіки стала необхідність уникнути дефіциту бюджету системи соціального забезпечення й додаткова економія хліба. Ключові слова: інваліди Вітчизняної війни, соціальне забезпечення, пенсіонування, соцзабези, лікарсько-трудові експертні комісії, група інвалідності.

The rollback of the welfare state in countries such as the UK, coupled with population ageing, have contributed to a situation in which responsibility for older people's wellbeing is placed more heavily on the individual. This is exemplified in the notion in popular and policy circles that individuals should plan for later life, particularly financially, and a corresponding concern that they are not doing so sufficiently. This scoping review aimed to identify the structural factors which inhibit people from engaging in planning for later life. For the purposes of this review, we characterised planning as the range of activities people deliberately pursue with the aim of achieving desired outcomes in later life. This entails a future, as opposed to shorter-term, goal orientation. In study selection, we focused on planning at mid-life (aged 40 to 60). Systematic and snowball searching identified 2,317 studies, of which 36 were included in the final qualitative synthesis. The review found that limited financial resources were a key barrier to planning. Related factors included: living in rented accommodation, informal caring, and working part-time. A lack of support from employers, industry, regulators and landlords was also found to inhibit planning. The findings suggest that certain sections of society are effectively excluded from planning. This is particularly problematic if popular and policy discourse comes to blame individuals for failing to plan. The review also provides a critical perspective on planning, highlighting a tendency in the literature towards individualistic and productivist interpretations of the concept.

Das "kritische Lebensereignis" Pensionierung bringt sowohl für den/die Betroffene/n selbst als auch für den/die PartnerIn Veränderungen mit sich, die Anpassungsleistungen erforderlich machen. Dabei handelt es sich um primäre Belastungsfaktoren wie die Veränderung von Zeitstruktur und -verwendung, sowie um sekundäre Belastungsfaktoren wie etwa die Einschränkung von sozialen Kontakten als Folge einer nicht erfolgreich verlaufenen Bewältigung. Die Partnerschaft kann sich in diesem Lebensabschnitt als wertvolle Ressource erweisen, um den mit dem Übergang in den Ruhestand verknüpften Veränderungen auf konstruktive Weise zu begegnen. Das vorliegende working paper "Die Partnerschaft als Ressource bei kritischen Lebensereignissen am Beispiel der Pensionierung" ist als Vorarbeit, als theoretische Basis für eine weiterführende Untersuchung zu diesem Thema zu gedacht. Anhand dieser Grundlage ist geplant, im Anschluss Hypothesen zu bilden, die in einer Studie empirisch überprüft werden sollen. Hauptziel ist es, wirksame partnerschaftliche Ressourcen und Strategien zu ermitteln, die sowohl dem Individuum als auch dem Paar eine positive, befriedigende Bewältigung des Überganges in den Ruhestand ermöglichen. Die Erkenntnisse, die aus der geplanten Studie gewonnen werden, könnten in weiterer Folge für Maßnahmen der Pensionsvorbereitung genutzt werden und einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Prävention von Partnerschaftskonflikten im Zusammenhang mit kritischen Lebensereignissen (im speziellen mit dem Übergang in den Ruhestand) leisten.

The decision of the BGH was based on the following set of facts: As a result of a traffic accident in August 1983, the plaintiff, who was then 46 years old and worked as a telephone technical operator with the Bundespost, suffered serious injuries to the chest and throat. The plaintiff, who had already suffered injuries as a result of accidents in the years between 1965 and 1982 was almost completely unfit for work following the new accident. Stays in various different clinics brought no noticable improvement in his condition. In particular he suffered pains in the areas of the chest, abdomen and back. The plaintiff was adjudged unfit for work and pensioned off with effect from 1 November 1985. Claiming that he was still suffering from the consequences of the accident, and that his pensioning off was also attributable to the event, the plaintiff claimed, inter alia, damages for pain and suffering, which he considered should be assessed at at least 25,000DM. The Landgericht rejected the claim. The Oberlandesgericht awarded damages of 50,000DM. The defendant's appeal on a point of law to the BGH was unsuccessful. According to the BGH, a tortfeasor is in principle liable for the psychological damage that flows from his tortious act - even if it arises from the prior susceptibility of the injured party to that kind of damage, or a nervous disorder. The only circumstances in which liability will not be imposed is when the event that causes the harm is trivial and does not have a direct impact on the degree of damage suffered by the injured party. From a procedural point of view, no upper limit is imposed on the judge in his assessment of the damages considered appropriate under § 308 ZPO by the plaintiff's claim for a minimum amount or suggestion of an indicative figure.
