Resilienza e vulnerabilità sociale. La proposta del welfare responsabile per la ripresa post-covid 19

In this article, we discuss the interdependent nature of the social, economic, and ecological dimensions and how these impact on resilience and social vulnerability. We define resilience as a combination of assets, capabilities and positive adaptation that enables people and communities to cope with adversity. We identify and present four types of capabilities that can lead the social change during socio-economic and/or environmental crisis: absorptive, adaptive, anticipatory, and transformative. These capabilities are essentials for building individual and community resilience through five main actions: 1) promoting innovation cycle with focus on equality, sustainability, human rights; 2) Innovating the public policies; 3) building trust in government through citizen engagement; 4) building interprofessional and interdisciplinary organizations; 5) innovating education and educating for innovation.
