De arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering: tussen publiek en privaat. Een beschrijving, analyse en waardering van de belangrijkste wijzigingen in het Nederlandse arbeidsongeschiktheidsstelsel tussen 1980 en 2010
Het Nederlandse arbeidsongeschiktheidsstelsel bestaat uit wettelijke
regelingen, zoals de loondoorbetaling bij ziekte op grond van het
Burgerlijk Wetboek en de Wet Werk en inkomen naar arbeidsvermogen, én
uit cao-regelingen die een bovenwettelijke aanvulling verstrekken. De
laatste dertig jaar zijn de wettelijke regelingen vaak en grondig
herzien. In reactie daarop hebben sociale partners hun cao-regelingen
aangepast. In deze studie worden de belangrijkste wijzigingen onderzocht
die zich tussen 1980 en 2010 hebben voorgedaan in de personele en
materiële werkingssfeer, de financiering en de uitvoering van de
hiervoor bedoelde regelingen. Daarbij staat de vraag centraal hoe die
wijzigingen en de daaraan ten grondslag liggende overwegingen, kunnen
worden gewaardeerd. Dat geschiedt op basis van vijf criteria: mate van
keuzevrijheid, mate van inkomensbescherming, mate van solidariteit,
aantal arbeidsongeschikten en totale kosten. Verder wordt onderzocht
welke alternatieven er bestaan voor het huidige
arbeidsongeschiktheidsstelsel. Ook die alternatieven worden gewaardeerd
op basis van de vijf hiervoor genoemde criteria. Op deze manier wordt de
bestaande kennis over de grondslagen van het huidige
arbeidsongeschiktheidsstelsel verdiept. Waarom is het stelsel ingericht
zoals het is ingericht? Wat zijn de voor- en nadelen van dit stelsel?
Meer concreet wordt ingegaan op de noodzaak of wenselijkheid van een
verzekeringsplicht voor werknemers, de optimale verhouding tussen
publieke en private inkomensbescherming, de spanning tussen
rechtvaardigheid en doelmatigheid bij de financiering van de
uitkeringslasten, de effectiviteit van financiële prikkels en de
doelmatigheid van de uitvoering.Hervorming Sociale Regelgevin
Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume
The hippocampal formation is a brain structure integrally involved in episodic memory, spatial navigation, cognition and stress responsiveness. Structural abnormalities in hippocampal volume and shape are found in several common neuropsychiatric disorders. To identify the genetic underpinnings of hippocampal structure here we perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 33,536 individuals and discover six independent loci significantly associated with hippocampal volume, four of them novel. Of the novel loci, three lie within genes (ASTN2, DPP4 and MAST4) and one is found 200 kb upstream of SHH. A hippocampal subfield analysis shows that a locus within the MSRB3 gene shows evidence of a localized effect along the dentate gyrus, subiculum, CA1 and fissure. Further, we show that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg =-0.155). Our findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampal volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness
