This policy brief examines the role of non-state actors in combating undeclared work in Georgia and North Macedonia, EU candidate countries in the Eastern Partnership and the Western Balkans, respectively.

This Policy Brief discusses recommendations for supporting person-centred, diversity-sensitive care through education and training for health and social care staff.

This policy brief addresses the simultaneity of self-employment and dependency of live-in carers in Austria based on empirical data collected in the frame of the JUSTMIG project.

This Policy Brief presents six key principles of what person-centred, diversity-sensitive care is and how it can be achieved.

The policy brief summarises the key findings of a related study funded by the ÖNB-Jubiläumsfonds (project number 18785). Analysis of EU-SILC data showed that at-risk-of-poverty and material deprivation of children increased during the pandemic, and that the effects intensified for traditionally vulnerable children. However, tax-benefit microsimulation (model EUROMOD) proved that COVID-19-induced policies and automatic stabilisers were partly effective in preventing a steeper increase in child poverty. Analysis of hypothetical reforms revealed that a transfer to children in low-income families would have been most cost-effective in preventing it further, pointing to a characteristic trade-off in policy design between means-tested and universal benefits.
