Social investment policies have enjoyed prominence during recent welfare reforms across the OECD world, and yet there is insufficient long-term strategy for their success.Reviewing labour market, family and education policies, this edited collection analyses the emergence of social investment policies in both Europe and East Asia. Adopting a life course perspective and examining both public and private investments, this book addresses key contemporary policy issues including care, learning, work, social mobility and inequalities. Providing original observations, this seminal text explores the roads and barriers towards effective social investment policies, derives practical social policy implications and highlights important lessons for future policymaking.

This volume presents a collection of research papers and survey articles by participants from two significant conferences on several complex variables (SCV) held at POSTECH in 2022. SCV, a central research area in mathematics, focuses on holomorphic functions of several variables, the geometry of analytic spaces, and its intersection with fields such as differential geometry, algebraic geometry, functional analysis, and operator theory.The first conference, The Conference on Complex Geometric Analysis, took place in January 2022 to celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor Kang-Tae Kim, a leading figure in SCV. The second, held in July 2022, was The POSTECH Conference 2022 on Complex Analytic Geometry, a joint event that included The 14th Korean Symposium of Several Complex Variables and The 28th International Conference on Finite and Infinite Dimensional Complex Analysis and Applications. Both conferences attracted over 50 prominent researchers who gave lectures on the latest developments in the field. This volume serves as a testament to their contributions and the ongoing advancements in SCV research.
