Hide-SPOL20050 Economics of Social Policy
Academic Year 2022/2023
This course is about the relationship between economics and social policy.

Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Grasp core basic economic principles
2. Understand the contribution economics can make to social policy
3. Be able to apply an economic perspective to some substantive areas of social policy, such as the labour market, income distribution, education, health and housing.
Indicative Module Content:
The module is delivered through a series of online lectures, discussion classes and presentations which are structured to cover: the key 'concepts' for the course (markets, equity and efficiency); the key 'contexts' for the course (including the economic climate, the welfare state, taxation and international rules and agreements); and key 'applications' for the course (Healthcare, Education, Housing, Poverty, Inequality, Income Maintenance, Transport).
