The main goal of the course is to introduce students to the study of social conditions that favor or hinder the wellbeing of people, by understanding the processes of production and reproduction and distribution of resources within a society (state, market, family and civil society/community)
The course presents the vertebral axis of the subject "Social Policy" from the articulation of three parts. The first part emphasizes social policy in the most general sense, based on the approach to its history and the international comparison of the different welfare regimes.
The second part is set in the family and in the post-industrial transformations of this institution, paying special attention to family policies, on the basis of a critical look at their impacts from a gender perspective
Finally, the third part focuses on current international migrations and the challenges posed by governability of human mobility, on one hand (which highlight the ineffectiveness of the unilateral policies of states), and by the management of inclusion and cultural diversity in increasingly plural societies, on the other.

Students who do not reach an average grade of 4, will have the option of repeating the written exam on the day of recovery.
Continuous evaluation activities
The course will be passed if the final grade of the different evaluation activities reaches the grade of 5.
The average grade of the three written tests (individual) and the resolution of the PBL case must have a minimum grade of 4 to be able to make average.
Students who do not reach an average grade of 4 (from the sum of the three written tests), will have the option to repeat only one of the three tests on the day of recovery. The recovery does not contemplate that the student who reaches an average grade, equal or superior to 5 (from the sum of the three written tests) can improve the grade, even if he has failed any of the three tests.
The students that during the course have done an adequate follow-up of the PBL and do not exceed the minimum grade of the group evaluation (lower than 5), may opt for the recovery, and re-deliver the work.
Inthe evaluation report only those who have not carried out the evaluation activities corresponding to 50% of the grade will have the qualification of "not submitted".
At the beginning of the course, a calendar will be published in the moodle classroom with the course schedule, and the dates of the different evaluation activities.
The unique evaluation will take place on the date indicated by the faculty.
