Накратко на български

Преходът на младите роми от училище към работа се анализира чрез ролята на неправителствените организации, които поемат държавни социални функции. Това помага да се разбере как тези практики влияят върху шансовете на младите хора за работа при добри условия.

NGOization of school-to-work transition among Roma youth

Ethnic minorities, particularly the Roma people, tend to have access to the poorest educational services and the most precarious parts of the labour market. Roma people represent Europe’s largest ethnic minority, who suffer higher than average level of marginalisation in all domains of life. NGOST research project examined how NGOization of the school-to-work transition (STWT) programmes targeting the Roma can be interpreted as a form of neoliberal governance of minorities. A neoliberal state ideally, in the name of efficiency, delegates its core functions, such as social services, to private corporations and NGOs, claiming that NGOs have direct knowledge and easier access to beneficiaries. ‘NGOization’ refers to the process through which civil society organisations professionalise themselves to deliver technical interventions, demobilising their clients and depoliticising their own action. NGOST project offers a comparative ethnographic aims to investigate how local practices of STWT shape young Roma people’s chances on the labour market and their perceptions thereof. It is important, as Roma young people are overrepresented among those who access adulthood and the labour market with lower than average education, and hence with worse than average chances to access to the labour market with optimal conditions. To better understand Roma people's transition from school and training to work, NGOST project’s key objectives are as follow: (1) To critically examine policies and programmes related to school-to-work transition (STWT). (2) To conduct a cross-country comparison of the development of STWT regimes, their focus and/or outreach to Roma youth, and the role of non-state actors (NGOs) in their operation. (3) To investigate local practices of STWT through NGOs’ actions, and gauge their impact, with a particular focus on the labour market opportunities and STWT experiences of Roma young people themselves. (4) To elaborate theoretical and analytical frames to reflect on public policies dealing with the social inclusion of vulnerable minorities - particularly the Roma – through labour market inclusion.

Цел на проекта

The negative impacts of the recent global economic crisis had a disproportionately adverse effect on young people’s labour market opportunities. Ethnic minorities, particularly the Roma, tend to have access to the poorest educational services and the most precarious parts of the labour market. Roma people are Europe’s largest ethnic minority, who suffer higher than average level of marginalisation in all domains of life. The NGOST research project will examine how NGOization of the school-to-work transition (STWT) programmes targeting the Roma can be interpreted as a form of neoliberal governance of minorities. A neoliberal state, in the name of efficiency, delegates its core functions, such as social services, to private corporations and NGOs, claiming that NGOs have direct knowledge and easier access to beneficiaries. NGOization refers to the process through which civil society organisations professionalise themselves to deliver technical interventions, demobilising their clients and depoliticising their own action. NGOST will offer a theoretically informed, comparative ethnographic account of this under-researched topic: how local practices of STWT with the corresponding neoliberal ethos of activation and self-responsibilisation, shape young Roma people’s chances on the labour market and their perceptions thereof. Case studies, conducted in Hungary, Slovakia and Spain, will follow three levels of inquiry: programmes, key players, and beneficiaries’ biographical experiences. The analysis will draw on multiple disciplinary, theoretical and conceptual traditions. A mixed-method design will include 3-month-long ethnographic endeavours, conducting observations, interviews, focus group discussions and surveys. The proposed research will contribute to a critical understanding of ideological/policy, structural/institutional and social configurations of neoliberal governance of the Roma, through the NGOization of their transition from school to work.
