Social Farming (SF) in Italy: an opportunity for local developmentElisaMendelsohn
This document discusses social farming (SF) in Italy and Europe. SF involves using farms to provide services to vulnerable populations such as those with disabilities, drug addictions, or the elderly. In Italy, SF emerged as mental health institutions closed in the 1970s. SF is supported by rural development policies in Italy and across Europe, though its adoption varies by country. It represents less than 1% of farms but operates in remote rural areas. In Italy, SF is governed through partnerships between public institutions, private organizations, and beneficiaries.

Serbia Giving to the Non-Profit Sector 2019 Annual Report - Main FindingsCatalyst Balkans
The document discusses a 2019 annual report on giving to the non-profit sector in Serbia. It finds that:
1) The majority (68.2%) of donations to non-profit organizations were aimed at organizations in Belgrade, though some organizations have headquarters in Belgrade but provide support in other regions.
2) The largest beneficiaries of the non-profit sector were people with health issues (36.5%), people with disabilities (24.4%), people in economic need (13.5%), and local populations (11.3%).
3) Non-profit organizations play an important role in supporting underrepresented groups and causes that would otherwise receive little assistance, such as refugees, the unemployed, and palliative care
Giving Serbia: Philanthropy's Response to COVID-19 (June 30, 2020)Catalyst Balkans
COVID-19 has changed the way our communities work overnight. From the beginning of the crisis until June 30, we analyzed data on 1,168 philanthropic instances in Serbia.
This is how citizens, companies, and nonprofits respond in solidarity to the crisis.
The document discusses the differences between residual and institutional models of social welfare. Residual social work is reactive and deals with visible needs after other support systems have been depleted, while institutional social work takes a preventative approach and supports people's well-being through universally available services. Examples of residual social work include services for those in crisis, while institutional social work provides services like free education and healthcare available to all. The document contrasts the short-term, needs-based nature of residual systems with the population-wide, preventative institutional approach.
The debt of our society with women is an ethical and moral imperative, before which we can not resign ourselves to isolated quotas or affirmative actions.
This document summarizes the challenges faced by women in Serbia during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights how women have taken on disproportionate caregiving roles and increased risk of infection. It showcases the work of several extraordinary women and organizations supporting women during this time, including providing emergency aid, online counseling, running a women's shelter, and advocating for policies protecting vulnerable groups like rural women farmers. The economic impacts on women have been significant, with many losing their jobs or livelihoods. Social entrepreneurship is seen as key to overcoming the crisis.
The document provides an analysis of Asian economic trends and outlook. It finds that while growth in Asia will slow due to global factors like a declining US economy, domestic demand drivers in Asia like consumption, investment, and intra-Asian trade will help cushion the impact and allow growth to continue, albeit at a slower pace. Inflation remains a risk but proactive central bank actions can help prevent stagflation. Overall the analysis concludes Asia will experience a slowdown rather than a collapse.

The document summarizes how the global economic crisis has led to increased poverty and social inequality in Spain. It shows that since 2008, there has been a dramatic rise in poverty, hunger, and inequality in Spain, with the country now having the largest inequality of the 27 EU countries. Key statistics are presented showing that the number of people at risk of poverty and social exclusion has risen by over 1 million between 2009 and 2010. The challenges of reducing poverty in Spain are growing as objectives to combat poverty and social exclusion through employment rates and other measures have not been achieved.
State of Homelessness in America, January 2011, authored by M William Sermons and Peter Witte of the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Download at endhomelessness.org
There is an estimated 380,000 people in Britain experiencing hidden homelessness, living in unstable housing situations like hostels, B&Bs, or couch surfing. This population is equivalent to the size of Manchester but is unseen and ignored. Hidden homelessness costs the UK over £1.4 billion annually and traps people in poverty, unemployment, and social isolation as they struggle with issues like mental health and substance abuse without support. The report calls for a national census of the hidden homeless to better understand and address this issue.
Irini kounenaki economic crisis in greece finalIrini Kounenaki
The document summarizes the economic crisis in Greece and its impact on poverty and social services. It provides details on:
1) Increased poverty levels, with over 3.9 million Greeks living in poverty and 35.7% at risk of social exclusion. Vulnerable groups have been disproportionately affected.
2) High unemployment, especially among youth and in the Attica region, with over 1.2 million unemployed and a national rate of 25.7%.
3) The Municipality of Pallini's social solidarity network, including a social grocery, social pharmacy, time bank, and other services, aims to support citizens and ensure social cohesion during the crisis.
ATHENS - EU COST ACTION: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF SPANISH HOUSING POLICIES...Javier Buron Cuadrado
Spanish and Basque housing public policies have shifted from promoting growth and homeownership to needing public intervention and nonprofit collaboration due to the housing crisis. Historically, policies focused on tax deductions and aids to promote property access rather than ensuring adequate, affordable housing. This led to overproduction, severe land consumption, socioeconomic inaccessibility, high household debt and leverage, unemployment, an imposed ownership culture, and systemic economic risk. The financial system received huge public bailouts but has done little to address the hundreds of thousands of forced evictions or convert vacant housing to affordable rentals. Recent laws aim to help some over-mortgaged families but exclude many still struggling.
This document summarizes a report by Caritas Europa on the human costs of the European economic crisis. The report analyzes the impact of the crisis and austerity measures in 7 European countries: Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Romania, and Spain. It finds that while GDP is growing again in some countries, unemployment remains high, especially among youth, and poverty has increased substantially. The report concludes that austerity-focused policies are prolonging the social problems caused by the crisis and calls for more balanced approaches that also promote employment, social inclusion and protection of human dignity.
People in Need social integration programs in the Czech Republichabitathungary
The document discusses social integration programs in the Czech Republic that aim to help the Roma population. It notes that Roma often live in overcrowded or illegal housing and lack access to adequate services. The goals of social integration programs include providing social services and preventing social decline. Field work and job counseling have helped increase Roma access to housing and employment, though some clients become long-term dependents of aid programs. An agency for social inclusion now coordinates support through various organizations and authorities.
This document summarizes the work of the Social Development Migration, Displaced Persons & Children Services Unit in Johannesburg, South Africa. It discusses the city's efforts to promote social cohesion and counter discrimination against migrants. It outlines strategies like the Migrant Help Desks and policies to support migrant integration. It also examines challenges like xenophobia, unemployment, and the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on migrant communities. The city aims to address these issues through collaboration, counter-xenophobia initiatives, and ensuring migrants' access to assistance.
Growing population of immigrant workers in Spain becoming homelessFEANTSA
During the 2000s, Spain saw a large increase in immigrant workers but also homelessness among immigrant workers. While Spain built more new homes than other European countries, it also had the highest number of unoccupied homes, and housing prices continued rising. Few new homes were designated as protected affordable housing. Immigration laws do not consider housing a right but an obligation. As a result, many immigrant workers who lost jobs in industries like construction and services began experiencing housing vulnerability and homelessness. Recent studies found immigrants made up 53-65% of the homeless population in major Spanish cities.

This document discusses aging issues in Albania and the work of the Albanian Society for All Ages (ASAG) to advocate for policies and services that improve the lives of older people. It notes that 12% of Albania's population is elderly and that elderly women live longer than elderly men. ASAG works to give older women a voice and address their needs, especially in rural areas where poverty and lack of services are problems. The document also highlights the lack of legislation and institutions to support the elderly in Albania.

It notes that after declines from 2005-2008, the overall homeless population and subgroups such as families and chronically homeless individuals increased from 2008-2009. The chronically homeless population remained stagnant despite an increase in permanent supportive housing units. The document also provides statistics on homelessness in Texas, including decreases in the total homeless population but increases in family homelessness. It discusses the economic drivers of homelessness and calls for prevention strategies to reduce homelessness.
This document summarizes key economic and social statistics for Spain. It outlines that the minimum wage in Spain was €655.20 per month in 2016.

This document discusses migrant care workers in Europe from a gender perspective. It outlines that care and domestic work is often considered unqualified and low-paid work outsourced to migrant women. This has led to a global market for low-paid migrant care workers. It also discusses the different types of care work performed by migrants, including domestic work, childcare, and elderly care. Additionally, it addresses the concept of "global care chains" and the unequal impacts on sending and receiving countries. The document debates issues like precarious employment conditions for migrant care workers and the challenge of implementing international standards on labor rights.
This document summarizes what is known about rural non-farm employment and poverty reduction in Latin America in 2010. It discusses trends showing that rural non-farm employment has been growing and now makes up a significant share of total rural employment. It also notes that rural households rely on multiple income sources, with many deriving income from both farming and non-farming activities. Finally, it outlines some open questions that remain about how rural non-farm employment affects poverty reduction and rural development policies.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2. PREMISES OF THE REPORT:
The report has been made on the basis of direct work with homeless
people carried out by specialized Caritas workers.
It is based on the information given by a representative number of
Caritas´s action with homeless people all around Spain; especially
focused on 11 Autonomous Communities and the largest cities, where
homeless people usually congregate (Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao,
Sevilla and Valencia).
It is also a qualitative report on the main characteristics of people
attended by Caritas, specially focused on immigrant homeless
people.

Diocesan CARITAS that have offered information
4. PEOPLE´S REQUESTS FOR HELP FROM
CARITAS:
In 2008 there were 14% more help demands than in
2007.
The number of requests has grown 14%, but it is
clearly inferior than the one detected in Caritas´s reports
about the crisis effects on the general population
(40%).
Maintenance, residence and hygiene are the most
demanded help requests.

6. SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC ASPECTS:
Attended people: . 18.594 people in 2007
. 22.589 people in 2008
. 7.361 people in the first quarter of 2009
People observed in 2008 are:
mostly men (90,5%).
mostly native homeless (72%) rather than immigrant homeless
(28%)
Mean age: 39,7 years old
Immigrant homeless : 36 years old.
Native homeless : 43,4 years old.
7. SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC ASPECTS:
The demand for help has been increasing: 21,5% from 2007 to
2008; 30,3% from 2008 to the first quarter of 2009.
The increase of people attended in the first quarter of 2009 is due
mainly to immigrant homeless people . While native homeless
people have just increased in 17 %, inmigrant homeless people
have increased in 68%.

9. ACCESS TO
HOMELESSNESS
:
The two main ways to access to homelessness in
2008 were:
- Loss of employment
- Addiction to alcohol, drugs and
ludopathies
The next important ones are: difficulties in access
to employment, loss of one’s home and, finally, loss
of family support
10. IMMIGRANTS’ ACCESS TO HOMELESSNESS:
The 86% of the questionnaires clearly show that there
are significant differences in the main way to access to
homelessness between immigrants and natives.
The main reasons for immigrant homelessness are:
Uneasy access to a employment
(usually due to discrimination) and
administrative irregularities.
Nonexistence of support nets.
11. HOMELESS PEOPLE´S MOBILITY:
Caritas´s studies show that 63% of homeless
people move from one place to another, while
37% stay in the same place.
The same studies show that 71% of diocesan
Cáritas observe more frequent movements
by immigrant homeless than by native ones.
12. HOMELESS PEOPLE AND
PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES:
62% of diocesan Caritas state that very few
and never more than one third of homeless
people are being attended by Public Social
Services in this time of economic crisis.
They also state that 81% of homeless people
attended by Public Social Services got no
necessity at all covered or very few.
13. CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF ECONOMIC
CRISIS ON HOMELESS PEOPLE:
The number of short period homeless people is growing.
There are many people who some years ago were helped to carry on
an insertion process and who now, due to the economic crisis, are
again demanding help and resources.
It is forseen that in 2009 and 2010, when family and social nets will
not be able to help people facing unemployement and economic
difficulties, there will be a strong increase of homelessness in
Spain.
The economic crisis is causing detriment to homeless people – who,
as diocesan Caritas states, “have already been living a very long crisis”
– who find it impossible to get a job during their insertion process
and itinerary.
14. CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF
ECONOMIC CRISIS ON IMMIGRANT HOMELESS
PEOPLE (2008 and first quarter of 2009):
The difficulty of renewing their residence and/or work
card, due to their impossibility of proving economic resources
as a consequence of unemployment, end of social benefits,
etc., makes it imposible for them to have access to the
employment market. This also means an obvious increase of
immigrant homlessness during the last months.
Immigrant homeless people with regular administrative
situation are demanding help at the offices for homeless as
they don´t find employment because of the increase of native
demand in sectors (like construction, services, agriculture)
in the past mainly occupied by immigrants.
