Type of Need (common sense)

Maslow (1954) suggested that human needs could be structured into five categories in

a hierarchy of ascending order of prepotency and probability of appearance:

With reference to service provision, it has been claimed that services should be geared to meet these needs, as social problems are the results of these needs not being met.

Defining Need

• While these definitions of needs are functional and do provide a loose boundary for what may be considered as need or no-need, they may not be able to differentiate the needy from the no-need groups

Page 10: Bradshaw's Taxonomy of Need

Bradshaw 1972 (Taxonomy of need)

• provided a methodology in making a ‘real’ need possible.• His proposal was to first delineate four types of social needs, namely,

(a) normative; (b) felt; (c) expressed; and (d)comparative, then to examine their presence in a given situation. The presence of all types of needs is equated to real need.

Real Need

Page 12: Bradshaw's Taxonomy of Need

Normative

Normative need tends to be professionally defined and has a knowledge base. A

desirable standard is set by professionals, policy makers or social scientists, against which the actual standard is compared. Those below the standard are said to be in need of

support and special services. A good example is……………….

Felt

A felt need is equated to what people want. It can be defined easily by asking service users or potential users what they wish to have. Hence, a felt need can be inflated

by users’ reference to their own high expectation (for example, a housing unit reaching a good private market standard).

A felt need can be deflated by the potential users’ ignorance or rejection of services (for example………………

Expressed

An expressed need is generally taken as equivalent to demand, as the unmet need.

The notion is that one does not make a demand unless one feels the need. However, considering that people requiring social services are often those with fewer resources and education, they do not often voice their demands. Sometimes, well-justified collective demands, such as that for industrial safety, could easily be taken as political activity against the governments, hence, there is some reluctance for these needs to be expressed. Policy makers normally take it that ‘no demand’ means ‘no need’. There are also cultural reasons as to why a need is not expressed

Page 15: Bradshaw's Taxonomy of Need

Comparative

Comparative need is measured by reference to a user already receiving the service in

question. Therefore, a person is in comparative need if he or she has the same or worse characteristics as someone receiving the service. The concept also can be applied to districts (for example, district A provides free medical treatment while district B does not) countries. However, this method of comparison leaves two questions unanswered as only existing services are being compared. “What if there is a need for a new service?”

“Does it also imply that the reference standard is faultless and no longer needsimprovement?”
