[Social welfare for children with developmental disabilities in the 21st century].

For children with developmental disabilities in Japan, various social policies including education, medical care, pension and welfare have rapidly developed and prevailed during the last 50 years. The concept of living together with the disabled has been widely accepted. A high standard of social welfare has been established by virtue of high respect for human rights, progress in medicine and economic growth. Historically, the International Year for the Disabled played an important role in meeting the expectation of the disabled and their families. Amendment of the legal system has realized normalization and social independence. Based on this historical background, there are in the 21st century new trends of development in the education, welfare and social life of the disabled, aiming at a better society for all the people.

Protecting children from chemical exposure: social work and U.S. social welfare policy.

Evidence suggests that the combinations of over 70,000 to 75,000 chemicals in air, land, water, and food to which children are exposed daily are instrumental in increasing the rates and severity of preventable childhood illness from asthma, leukemia, and other diseases. This article defines chemical contamination and reviews data regarding the ubiquity of toxic chemicals in the United States. It describes major risk pathways to fetuses and children at different developmental stages and discusses evidence regarding exposure and harm to children from chemical contamination. The adequacy of national social welfare and environmental policies is assessed and policy-level interventions are recommended to address the unique vulnerability of children--especially children who are poor and children of color-to toxic chemicals. The authors review the roles for social workers in protecting current and future generations from environmental contaminants.
