“…To better understand vulnerability in Romania we can use a recent report by the Ministry of Labor and Social Justice (2019) which identifies several vulnerable social categories like people at risk of poverty, the elderly, children separated from parents or children at risk of separation from parents, young people in difficulty, people with disabilities, mother and child (at risk) and other vulnerable groups where we can also include children with low access to education, students at risk of dropping out of school, children with parents who have been working abroad for a long time, Roma citizens, young people over 18 who leave the institutionalized system, people in detention or who were previously detained, juvenile delinquents, drug or alcohol addicts, homeless people, people affected by diseases that disrupt their social and professional life, people living in isolated communities, immigrants, victims of domestic violence, victims of human trafficking and so on. We can consider that a person belongs to a vulnerable category as long as it does not have personal, social and community resources for proper integration into society and cannot achieve, for objective reasons, an elementary level of quality of life (Kiss, 2022;Mihăilescu, 2021).…”
