Welfare Rights and Social Policy

Gabor Juhasz (Hungary)

Are you surprised to read a lack of resources characterizes this field? I found many course descriptions and few homepages with relevant data. My best advice is to visit the Government homepage to find some information about the topic you are interested in. However, I could find some homepages with related topics.

• Social Security Online http://www.ssa.gov/SSA
  Homepage of the social security administration, containing interesting information about conditions of eligibility, useful help on how to apply for a social security number, how to apply for benefits, and many more things.
• Institute for Social Studies, University of Warsaw - http://andante.iss.uw.edu.pl/issgu.html
  Polish social surveys on unemployment, abortion, electoral behavior and many many more - faculty papers.
• Political resources on the NET -http://www.agora.stm.it/politic/ - political parties around the world - government resources on the Web - Parliaments of the World.
• Russian and East European studies -http://wwwl.pitt.edu/~cip/rees.html
