講者介紹：
Dr. Peng’s research interests are in social policy and are guided by three questions: What are the variations in social policy design and development? What are the forces driving the variations in social policies? What are the effects of social policies on people’s well-being and behaviors? Within social policy, her main areas of interest are poverty, social protection policy and housing policy. She also conducts research on migration policy. Her research aims to enhance evidence-based social policymaking.
演講內容：
This study compares the mental health effects of different social assistance programs. We proposed a theoretical framework to explain how social assistance programs may affect the mental health of recipients through a positive resource effect and a negative stigma effect. We examined the mental health of people participating in one of three social assistance programs in Hong Kong: Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA), Social Security Allowance (SSA), and education subsidies.

（三）講者：Dr. Zhao Xi (Assistant Professor, School of Sociology and Population Studies, Renmin University of China)
（四）主持：臺大社工系 汪書華 副教授
講者介紹：
Dr. Zhao holds a PhD degree from The University of Hong Kong. Her research interests include poverty and social assistance, social policy analysis, and comparative studies of social welfare. She is currently working on research projects on social safety net for low-income families in China, familization and defamilization processes of social assistance policies, poverty dynamics, and social safety nets in East Asia.
演講內容：
China implements a decentralized social policy system, resulting in heterogeneity of the welfare regime characteristics. Regional disparities in social safety net provision is manifested in divergent benefit amounts and program compositions. This study examines the subnational variation in mainland China's social safety net. In particular, it employed a Model Family approach to explore income package features that a set of model families with different family profiles would receive from social safety net and wage/tax system.
