As the baby boomer generation ages, the population drawing on program resources will increase, while due to lower recent birthrates, the population of contributors will decrease.
Please explain “Social Insurance Program.” Use social welfare terminology.
An example of modifying the system to meet the needs of the people, social insurance is an entitlement program funded by all persons so that it may benefit those who need to draw upon it.
How did Social Security “reflect typical white male categories of employment”?

How did social welfare programs affect (or fail to affect) the AIDS pandemic?
Initial government inaction (due to increased conservatism in the 1980s) promoted ignorance and misinformation, allowing the pandemic to spread more widely than it might have otherwise
But eventually, through the Ryan White CARE act, helped to provide funding for and prevent discrimination of those suffering from HIV/AIDS
What are some of the consequences and unintended consequences of deinstitutionalization?
Helped end penitentary-style incarceration of the ill and disabled, and focused efforts on rehabilitation programs
but led to increased burden on families, and ushered in an increase in homelessness amongst the mentally ill.
What is social conservatism and what role did it play in social welfare policy in the 1980s
Social conservatism is a largely Christian viewpoint based on “traditional” or “family” values. Its rise led to the ignoring of the AIDS pandemic (as it was seen as a homosexual disease), and the villianization of welfare recipients as lazy or immoral.
Pick 2 enduring debates and give examples from this half of the semester.
local v. national responsibilty - seen after deinstitutionalization, as individual states were given mental health funding in the form of block grants which they could use as they saw fit.

Pick 2 of Lampmann’s strategies and give examples from this half of the semester.
Adapting the system to meet the needs of the people - the Social Security provisions dictate that the government will provide support for those in need.
Relieving the distress - the funding provided by the Ryan White CARE Act helps to give individuals and community resources the means to address the needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS.
