“…With welfare systems in many OECD countries facing challenges related to ageing populations and strained public budgets, among other issues, many groups have had less access to insurance. This has contributed to the re-emergence of mutual organisations in Germany, the Netherlands and the United States in response to certain shortcomings in both public and private insurance markets (De Moor, 2015 [21]; Vriens and De Moor, 2020 [33]). Following in the tradition of their 19 th -century predecessors, this new generation of mutual organisations promotes values of innovation, fairness, solidarity and transparency by engaging policyholders in decision-making and managerial processes (Vriens, Buskens and de Moor, 2019 [18]).…”

“…Covered risks can include medical care, purchase of drugs, hospital costs and funerals but also poor harvest and fishing (Atim, 1998[168]). In certain countries, such as in Germany, the Netherlands and the United States, the interest for these organisations has been renewed to respond to shortcomings of established state and private insurance arrangements (Vriens and De Moor, 2020 [33]). Despite the provision of some form of public insurance, groups can remain excluded from these established insurance systems, such as high-risk profiles, the unemployed, informal workers or migrants.…”

The Organisation's core mission today is to help governments work together towards a stronger, cleaner, fairer global economy. Through its network of specialised committees and working groups, the OECD provides a setting where governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice, and co-ordinate domestic and international policies.

“…this feeling. In VietNam, it is estimated that there are millions of small and medium-sized voluntary organizations operating in the gray area 17 , in addition, in VietNam today, along with the traditional way of doing charity, there have appeared many new methods and tools for charity such as social enterprises, impact investing, online fundraising, admin social… 18 .

Charity is an activity of mobilizing society’s resources for welfare and non-profit purposes. This is also an activity to show the spirit of solidarity and mutual love in accordance with the tradition of the VietNamese nation. However, charity is also a sensitive issue, creating conflicting opinions in society. Therefore, there is a need for a complete legal framework to regulate this issue. In China, philanthropy is also an activity in line with the traditions of the Chinese nation, but this activity is formal, professional, and charities are highly accountable, than VietNam. This is the result of the institutionalization and building of a complete legal framework for the Charity Act since 2016. This shows that China is one step ahead of VietNam in terms of legislative level in matter of charity. Besides, China is a country with a relatively close legal and cultural tradition to VietNam, so this is a good reference channel for VietNam's legislative issues. Within the scope of the article, the authors introduce the background of the 2016 China Charity Law, on the basis of which there is a comparison with the social context of VietNam today. At the same time, the authors analyze some main and outstanding contents of the 2016 China Charity Law to show the perfection of the legal regulations in this country, besides the authors introduce, analyse the current provisions of VietNamese law on charity and calling out some policy implications for VietNamese law.

“…We conceive philanthropy as voluntary, charitable, or welfare-oriented action, which takes place through the use of financial means, material resources, or time and without expectation of direct compensation (Acs & Phillips, 2002;Andreoni, 2001;Glückler & Ries, 2012). With this definition, we imply that philanthropic engagement not only applies to nonprofit actors such as foundations or nonprofit associations, but also to those actors who, apart from pursuing their economic goals, also act benevolently or contribute to the public good Wiepking & Handy, 2015). Scholars in the interdisciplinary research field of philanthropy have studied organizational diversity and the various practices, mechanisms, and modes of philanthropic involvement as well as its social antecedents and effects (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011;Brown & Ferris, 2007;Diani, 2013;Diani & Pilati, 2011;Galaskiewicz & Wasserman, 1989;Graddy & Wang, 2009;Herzog & Yang, 2018;Maclean & Harvey, 2016;Marquis, Glynn, & Davis, 2007;Ostrander, 2007).…”

Drawing on the neo-institutional notion of organizational fields, we propose the concept of the philanthropic field to conceptualize the geography of giving and the interrelations of benevolent activities across the domains of private, public, and civic sectors. Empirically, we adopt a multi-method approach, including a media analysis of reported acts of giving in the German region of Heilbronn-Franconia, a social network analysis of its regional philanthropic relations, and qualitative interviews with representatives of non-profit organizations, corporations, and public as well as private intermediaries. Based on our analysis, we conclude that the philanthropic field is constituted by diverse actors from all sectors of society who engage in specialization, division of labor, and collaboration. Moreover, practices of giving spread across geographical scales, though the majority of activity concentrates on the local and regional level. We conclude by discussing the potentials and limits of our approach as a means to gain insights into local fields of philanthropy and benevolent action across societal sectors.
