According to international estimates the share of the hidden economy worldwide accounts for 10-12% of global GDP. In the transition economies however hidden economy reaches one fourth of GDP. Economic analyses show that if the share of the hidden sector exceeds a critical level (around 50% of GDP) it changes the ‘rules of the game’ in the whole economy. In Bulgaria the tax and tax enforcement burden, ineffective enforcement of laws and administrative barriers for businesses are the main factors stimulating informal economic activities. The publication presents the latest trends and challenges of the hidden economy to the private and public sector. It describes the various manifestations of the hidden economy and assesses its size, scope and characteristics in Bulgaria through six different methods. The publication underscores the necessity of international cooperation in the area of hidden economy. The authors conclude with recommendations for improvement of the legislative and regulatory framework for the business and its implementation. The publication includes contributions from experts of the National Social Security Institute, the Bulgarian National Bank, the National Statistical Institute, the Agency for Economic Analysis and Forecasting and the Center for Study of Democracy.

Социална педагогика и социална работа – сходство в означаващото

Author(s): Nelli Petrova-Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2017

The purpose of this article is to outline the similarities in the areas designated by the concepts of social pedagogy and social work, by examining the nature of the relationship between them, and to argue possible directions for their differentiation. The hypothesis of the study is that there is similarity in the meanings signified by social pedagogy and social work, and even that within certain parameters this similarity represents uniformity. The methods of the study are theoretical review and education documents in English, French, Russian and Bulgarian from the recent years. The main findings show that these signifiers denote processes that help interventions; they reflect the process of connection between helping and receiving help; they develop similar forms of intervention based on an individualized clinical approach centered on the needs of people, individually and in a group or community. The main specificities/differences can be summarized as the mainstays of different theoretical scientific backgrounds, i.e. Education, Medicine, Psychology (psychotherapy), etc., and/or as accessories to the theoretical psycho-pedagogical schools, i.e. cognitive, behavioral, psychoanalytical, eclectic, etc .; as specific fields of work.

Социални проблеми на присъединяването на България към Европейския съюз

Author(s): Teodora Noncheva / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 1999

The social policy of the European Union aims to reduce the most substantial differences in the national schemes and programs, to facilitate the free movement of workers, to create prerequisites for employment growth and improvement of the working conditions, to raise the level of qualification and to promote the retraining and the reintegration of people who lost their job because of structural economic changes or for other reasons with social implications. Ensuring of the national social security systems' conformity with the criteria for membership in the European Union is of substantial importance for the entire process of democratisation and integration in Europe. At the same time these systems determine the internal potential of the applicant countries for accession. That is where the actuality of the questions, put in this study stems from: What is the scope of the field of action of the economic and social criteria for integration in the social sphere? To what extent does the Bulgarian system for social protection correspond to the European models and values? What are the perspectives for development of the social reform in the light of the strategy for accession to the European Union? These questions do not have a simple answer, but nevertheless the analysis of the social problems of the integration is the main challenge at the current stage of the social reform.

Социално-демографски детерминанти на баланса между работа и личен живот в България. Резултати от Европейското социално изследване

Author(s): Elitsa Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2019

The article focuses on the socio-demographic determinants of work-life balance in Bulgaria. With the development of post-industrial societies, the life-work balance becomes particularly important. The article provides a theoretical overview of the leading concepts on work-life balance. Data from the European Social Survey conducted in 2010 in Bulgaria was used. A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out and a logistical regression model was applied in order to highlight the factors that affect the balance between private and professional life. The analysis shows that there are significant gender differences in the satisfaction of the balance between private and professional life among men and women in Bulgaria. Education and occupational status of individuals are significant predictors of the satisfaction of the life-work, as they are directly related to the profession that individuals exercise. Higher education is related with higher satisfaction of the balance between private and professional life. Individuals who have their own business (self-employed) have significantly lower satisfaction of the balance between working and personal life.

Социално-икономически ефекти от публичните инвестиции за приобщаване на ромите в Каварна

Author(s): Yva Alexandrova,Slavyanka Ivanova,Anna Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 2015

The aim of the current report is to provide new data and insight on the social and economic effects of public investments in Roma communities from a human development perspective. Its objective is to establish the effects of a wide range of public investments made by Kavarna municipality in the mostly-Roma neighbourhood of Hadji Dimitar, between 2004 and 2014. The investment covered areas such as housing and infrastructure, healthcare, employment, income, poverty and social exclusion, justice and crime, and political participation. It reviews a range of indicators with the aim of establishing the effects of these investments on the social and economic development of the neighbourhood and its residents, both Roma and non-Roma. It also looks beyond the neighbourhood to provide a comparative perspective on a national level. The data presented here is derived from a variety of sources and covers a range of indicators. Every effort has been made to ensure the use of similar indicators and definitions as previous household surveys, notably the UNDP/FRA study, and the NSI, however, the results are not directly comparable due to the difference in survey methodologies, samples and scope. The data presented should be taken as an indication of trends and tendencies. The lack of concrete data on the initial investments, the inputs and relevant baseline indicators has also challenged the quantifying of the contribution of individual public investments. Different investments have had different impact on the development of the neighbourhood and reducing the distances with the Bulgarian residents. This impact has been established by looking at the results obtained from a specialised household survey conducted among 300 Roma and non-Roma households in the Hadji Dimitar quarter of Kavarna in 2015. The relevance and impact of these changes is analysed through comparison with the national averages for the whole population and the averages for Roma nationally. It is also measured against the investments to establish a positive correlation between the effect and the investment where such data exists.
