Hard of Hearing People

Paper Summary:

The paper refers to the theoretical framework of Esping-Andersen and Titmuss that is used to frame the best policy towards people with disabilities, and hard of hearing people in particular. The paper uses Esping- Andersen and Titmuss' theories to analyze the way in which Germany responded to the challenges imposed by people with disabilities and those that are hard of hearing. The paper analyzes the period of 1996-2006.

From the Paper:

"There have been several attempts made concerning the possible treatment of hard of hearing people and those with different disabilities inside the society because it is important that even the less fortunate have an equal chance for development in life. However, such policies relate in a definite way to the health care system of the country under discussion or of the region under analysis. At the same time, there are certain theories related to the issue of health care and in particular to the treatment of those with disabilities which try to set a straight set of guidelines for a possible solution to the problems people with disabilities have. In this sense, Esping- Andersen and Titmuss created a theoretical framework which can ensure not necessarily a viable solution but more a series of considerations and practices that would be useful for framing the best policy towards people with disabilities and hard of hearing people in particular."
