“…We excluded two samples: a Belgian sample referenced by Cuddy et al. (2009) as the study data could not be obtained, and a Kosovan sample (Grigoryan et al., 2020) as the country could not be classified in the Esping‐Andersen welfare regime taxonomy (Stambolieva, 2013). The remaining seventeen samples were drawn from six countries (Norway, Sweden, the USA, New Zealand, Germany and Poland).…”

The association of societal‐level structural factors with stereotypes and stigma can be examined using the stereotype content model (SCM). The main aim of the current study was to review and synthesize all available research data of SCM dimensions of Warmth and Competence perceptions of welfare recipients, and compare the ratings in different types of social welfare regimes (Nordic, Conservative, and Liberal). To do this, we reviewed all published literature using the SCM methodology to assess stereotypes of welfare recipients and perfomed a cross‐national meta‐regression of 17 datasets (total N = 1797) drawn from six countries representing three types of welfare regimes. In each of the studies, participants were asked how others in their country viewed welfare recipients on the dimensions of warmth and competence. We predicted and found support for the hypothesis that countries with a Nordic welfare regime have a warmer cultural stereotype of welfare recipients than countries with a Liberal or Conservative regime. However, the expected association between Liberal welfare regime and incompetence stereotypes was not found. Supplementary analyses showed that the type of welfare regime better explained country differences in welfare stereotypes than country differences in income inequality. This study demonstrates how stereotypes of warmth and competence vary across welfare regimes, adding to knowledge about how societal‐level factors are related to cultural stereotypes.

“…Social policy development in Serbia has been strongly influenced by the legacy of the communist welfare regime. The post-communist Serbian welfare system has been characterized by reduced social spending during the transition, high share of private sources in health care, low social assistance coverage and high number of pension beneficiaries, with facilitated early retirement aiming to solve increasing unemployment rates (Stambolieva 2013). As shown in the country chapters in this volume, most attempts to reform the Serbian welfare system took place especially since the 2000s, although some of them were rather unsuccessful.…”

The Immigration-Emigration Nexus in Non-EU Sending States: A Focus on Welfare Entitlements, Consular Services, and Diaspora Policies

Migrants’ access to social benefits has been intensively studied in the European Union, but less scholarly attention has been dedicated to the way in which non-EU welfare regimes adapt to international mobility. This chapter introduces a volume that aims to address this research gap by taking the perspective of non-EU states on migrant social protection. To do so, our analysis focuses on 13 countries: Argentina, China, Ecuador, India, Lebanon, Morocco, Serbia, Senegal, Switzerland, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, Tunisia, and Turkey. These countries represent relevant sending states for migrants coming to the EU, with some of them also hosting sizeable immigrant populations. We argue that their different migration characteristics (including the size and main features of their immigrant and diaspora populations) as well as the peculiarity of their welfare regimes (which often followed a quite distinctive historical path of development compared to their EU counterparts) may shape their responsiveness in terms of ensuring migrants’ access to domestic welfare systems.

“…The country went through the turbulent first 10 years of transition, mirrored in economic and political isolation during civil conflicts in neighbouring republics and subsequently experienced a socio-economic collapse. The development of the welfare system in the post-Yugoslav period was influenced by several factors among which the most important ones are legacies from the past and economic and political transformation of the society (Stambolieva 2013;Bartlett 2013). 3 After the democratic changes in 2000, the new government had to reboot elements of the welfare system.…”

This paper analyses welfare regime changes in Serbia and their impact on social enterprise development in the last two decades. We cover the period of significant transition-related reforms within the welfare state, with important implications on the position of these enterprises. Using data gathered from the qualitative field research, our study shows that there are two broad groups of factors that are important for development of the new generation of social enterprises, those that emerged in the last decade with an idea to foster entrepreneurial spirit and expanded into new domains other than those providing assistance to the marginalized groups. First, their decision to enter the social economy sector still depends on the environment created by the state. Secondly, their sustainability is affected by the factors typically found in any other enterprise of comparable scale like business skills, capacity to form networks and partner with relevant stakeholders.Résumé Le présent article analyse les changements survenus dans le régime de protection sociale de la Serbie et leurs incidences sur le développement des & Jelena Ž arković Rakić entreprises sociales au cours des deux dernières décennies. Nous traitons des réformes associées à l'importante transition de l'É tat providence et de ses implications majeures sur le positionnement desdites entreprises. À l'aide de données recueillies dans le cadre de recherches quantitatives sur le terrain, notre étude démontre que deux vastes groupes de facteurs sont essentiels au développement de la nouvelle génération d'entreprises sociales, soit celles ayant vu le jour durant la dernière décennie dans le but de favoriser l'esprit entrepreneurial et ayant pris de l'expansion dans des domaines autres que celui de la prestation d'aide aux groupes marginalisés. En premier lieu, leur décision de percer le secteur de l'économie sociale dépend toujours de l'environnement créé par l'É tat. En second lieu, leur durabilité est influencée par les facteurs typiquement présents dans toute autre entreprise d'échelle comparable, dont les compétences commerciales et la capacité de créer des réseaux et d'établir des partenariats avec des intervenants pertinents.Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit untersucht die Ä nderungen am serbischen Wohlfahrtssystem und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Entwicklung sozialer Unternehmen in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten. Man betrachtet den Zeitraum bedeutender wandelsbezogener Reformen innerhalb des Sozialstaates mit wichtigen Folgen für die Stellung dieser Unternehmen. Unter Verwendung von Daten aus der qualitativen Feldforschung zeigt unsere Studie, dass es zwei umfangreiche Faktorengruppen gibt, die für die Entwicklung der neuen Generation sozialer Unternehmen wichtig ist, d. h. die Unternehmen, die in den vergangenen zehn Jahren mit der Idee entstanden sind, den Unternehmergeist zu fördern, und die in neue Bereiche vorgedrungen sind, welche nicht die Unterstützung von Randgruppen beinhalten. Erstens ist ihre Entscheidung, in den Sozialwirtschaftssektor einzudringen...
