Situația sărăciei și protecția socială. România în context european: Poverty Realities and Social Protection. Romania in European Context
This article analyzes the situation of poverty and social protection in the countries of the European Union, with an emphasis on the Romanian realities in this field. The European social protection systems are presented from the perspective of the way in which the financing budgets are created, or from the perspective of the social protection expenditures, or the share of the social protection expenditures in GDP, the per capita expenditures with the social protection, the types of benefits granted etc. Romania is distinguished from the other European states by the fact that during the analyzed period, it was systematically located on one of the last two or three places of the European top. This happened in spite of the fact that in 2008-2014 in Romania there was a tendency to increase the share of social protection funding by the governments in power
Religious Behavior of Romanian Migrants Living in the State of Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The aim of the study is to present the religious behavior of the ethnic Romanian migrants in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg located in the South-Western Germany. Tle land is one of the most important destinations for migrants settling and working in Germany with its high living standards (even for the German context), high population density, and large job offers on a wide-range scale. In the case of the Romanians, the relative geographical proximity to Romania is also a factor that explains a large number of Romanians in the area. Several studies throughout the last decades have repeatedly shown that the Romanians are one of the European ethnicities with the highest level of religiosity. My aim was to conduct a research, based on qualitative methods, which reveals whether this high level of religiosity (and its reflection in the behavior of the individuals) is present in the case of the Romanian diaspora in Baden-Wurttemberg. Even if there are several Romanian priests and churches across the state, I could identify some major differences. First, there seems to be a strong link between the religious attitudes and the general social life of the Romanians and their area of origin within Romania. This also determines the typical recruiting patterns and the micro-social structure in which the migrants start their lives in Germany. Other factors that influence the religious behavior are the length of the time spent in Germany, and whether their command of German is good or not
Labour Market Integration of Young People in Bulgaria: The Implementation of Youth Guarantee and Youth Employment Initiative
The Youth Guarantee and its financial tool the Youth Employment Initiative as EU level initiative, aim to answer the rising concerns caused by the growing problems of youth unemployment by fostering youth activation and labour market integration. Both are associated to specific recommendations for member states to enhance intra-agency coordination and to expand the scope of labour market policies, while both present a good case for research regarding policies’ coordination and government, and in-policy content. The paper analyses the process of introducing and implementing YG and YIE in Bulgaria and outlines changes in the activation policy and strategies for youth labour market integration with focus on both substantial and procedural reforms. For the empirical purpose of the study, desk-research on relevant policy documents, existing national evaluations, country-based literature and statistics, media publications and expert interviews conducted with policy actors from agencies involved in the implementation of labour market programs. The article contributes to the state of art by presenting and analysing details and insights on policy changes as well as existing short-term data on policy outcomes and tries to go further by suggesting policy recommendations to improve existing measures

Consecințe psihosociale ale fenomenului de bullying școlar. Cercetare calitativă în liceele orădene: Psychosocial Consequences of the School Bullying Phenomenon. Qualitative Research in Oradean High Schools
This study represents an analysis of the bullying phenomenon, seen as a specific adolescence behaviour by most of the experts, with strong influences on pupils’ personality development. For this reason it cannot be ignored or tolerated by the social actors who are involved in the education process. The act of bullying is noted as an aggression subdivision, that seeks to assert power through physical, psychological or social harm, in direct or indirect ways. Physical violence is not a condition for a bullying act to be classified as such. There are also verbal, relational, psychological, social, and relational types of bullying. The roles taken over by the actors in the bulling act are the perpetrator, the victim, the active spectators, the passive spectators and the defending witnesses. This paper will present a qualitative sociological research in the secondary schools in Oradea. It focuses on the characteristics of the main actors involved in bullying (the aggressor and the victim). We will also suggest anti-bullying programs and practices in schools, on the basis of interviews and a focus group with specialists
