“…Adequate housing is a major issue faced by the Roma population in Serbia, as many occupy dwellings made of unstable cheap materials and only 28 % of Romani settlements registered in Serbia in 2002 were constructed in accordance with standard urban building codes (UNDP 2006). Obviously, the poor living conditions of Roma have led to increased vulnerability of this minority group (Parekh and Rose 2011;Milcher 2010;Janevic et al 2012).…”

“…In June 2008, Serbia took the Decade Presidency and announced the National Action Plans for Roma inclusion, prioritizing legalization of Roma settlements and the prevention of discrimination in education. However, the Roma remained segregated from the mainstream population, facing high unemployment and low education rates, poor living conditions, and limited access to healthcare (Miklos, Smederevac, & Tovilovic, 2009; Milcher, 2009). Moreover, they were often subjected to forced evictions, as well as to sporadic incidents of racially motivated violence, committed mostly by ultra‐nationalist youth groups and skinheads (Ackovic, 2009; Crowe, 2008; Simeunovic, 2008).…”

This study employed the integrated threat theory to examine Serbian adolescents' attitudes towards the Roma. The sample consisted of 687 secondary school students (mean age 17), of whom 53% were females. In a survey‐based study, we assessed adolescents' national in‐group attitudes (i.e., nationalism), their feelings toward the Roma, and their perception of economic and symbolic threat. Findings suggest that perceived threat to either real resources or worldviews of the dominant group was related to more negative attitudes towards the Roma minority. Further, Romaphobia was positively related to adolescents' nationalism and this relationship was partially mediated by perceived economic and symbolic threat. The theoretical and educational implications are discussed.

“…The implication of this work is that poverty reduction policies must take into account the vulnerability of current non-poor households. Milcher (2010) adapted the model of Chaudhuri, Jalan and Suryahadi (2002) to analyze the vulnerability to poverty in nine countries of South-East Europe and finds that vulnerability differs considerably from poverty because it affects a larger population facing risks. This work has concluded that policies to reduce or prevent poverty require additional targeting of vulnerable households.…”

Many studies have revealed the importance of taking the ex post and former poor into account in designing sustainable poverty reduction policies. With data from the 2015 household standard of living survey (ENV2015), we use the Chaudhuri, Jalan and Suryahadi model (2002) to measure the vulnerability to poverty of rural households in Côte d’Ivoire. Our work reveals that 34% of households are vulnerable while 25% are poor. The analysis of the influence of certain factors on this vulnerability was based on a tobit model. We come to the conclusion that farm and trade households are more vulnerable than those in industry and services. Also, households with a head of at least secondary education are less vulnerable than those whose head is at most at the primary level. Finally, contrary to many studies, we find that access to credit has a bad influence on the vulnerability of rural households to poverty. The origin and use of these rural credits would explain this last relationship.
