“…In many countries formalization of care work, in which care work is transferred from the family into formal public and professional care is not complete (Pfau-Effinger and Geissler 2005). New public management and neoliberal market politics have in recent decade's favoured marketization of elder-and childcare and have encouraged new ways of organizing care that could provide more costeffective and cheaper care services, a commodification of care.…”

“…The domestic service reforms analysed in this article could be seen as illustrations of changing models of care organizations in Western societies and as a challenge to established labour laws and regulations. Informal care work is often performed undeclared; therefore, no employee labour laws or social security rights apply (Pfau-Effinger and Geissler 2005). Formally performed domestic service work is still less regulated than others forms of work performed outside employers' homes (Calleman 2007;Isaksen 2010).…”

In many European countries different types of policy reforms intending to encourage growth in the domestic service sector have been introduced. The methods and reforms differ but mainly the reforms intend to stimulate growth of a 'new' legal labour market sector within private households. This potential growth sector in combination with insufficient or declining welfare states, inclining female labour market participation and ageing populations could be viewed as explanatory factors to the increased demand for domestic services. A growing amount of those performing paid domestic work in European homes are migrant women with or without papers. The aim of this article is to create a model that enables comparisons of these reforms, with a special focus on changing social organizations of care for elders, children and other dependent persons. Included in the analysis are European countries that have introduced wide domestic service policy reforms as measurement to encourage growth in the domestic service sector, i.

“…1 Priznavanje neformalne skrbi vodi tzv. poluformalizaciji skrbi, jer se obitelj podupire u preuzimanju i/ili zadržavanju socijalne funkcije skrbi (Pfau-Effinger i Geissler, 2005). Posebice raste popularnost shema kojima se osigurava naknada za skrb (eng.…”

“…cash-for-care; da Roit, Le Bihan i Österle, 2007;da Roit, 2012;Le Bihan i Martin, 2012), ali i dopusti mogućnost prilagodbe radnoga vremena zbog pružanja dugotrajne skrbi (Le Bihan i Martin, 2012). Poluformalizacija skrbi čini granice između uobičajenih oblika skrbi, formalnih i neformalnih, plaćenih i neplaćenih, nejasnima (Pfau-Effinger i Geissler, 2005), dok u nekim zemljama (npr. Italija, Austrija) pružanje skrbi starijima postaje predmet neformalnih dogovora na tržištu, čime raste broj neprofesionalnih pružatelja usluga, posebice migranata (Bettio, Simonazzi i Villa, 2006;da Roit i sur., 2007;Le Bihan i Martin, 2012).…”

UDK: 364-22-053.9(497.5) Pregledni rad Primljeno: 13. 12. 2015. Rad analizira i sagledava karakter te posljedice reformi na području sustava skrbi za starije osobe u Hrvatskoj, stavljajući reforme u komparativnu perspektivu i prihvaćajući dosadašnje spoznaje o učincima sličnih reformi u europskim zemljama. Analiza počinje sa socijalizmom, u koji sežu počeci razvoja javnopolitičkog okvira, te se nastavlja 1990-ih, godinama koje su obilježene pluralizacijom pružatelja usluga te začecima decentralizacije, te 2000-ih do danas, obilježene godinama koje su sve većom fragmentacijom sustava te profesionalizacijom izvaninstitucionalnih oblika skrbi. Rizik ovisnosti u starijoj dobi ne dobiva potrebnu pozornost donositelja odluka. Reforme u zadnjih dvadesetak godina uglavnom nastoje obuzdati sve veće troškove skrbi za starije osobe te smanjiti ulogu države, a ogledaju se u uvođenju elemenata tržišta u proces pružanja skrbi, rastućoj individualizaciji i profesionalizaciji skrbi. Sustav skrbi za starije osobe neuspješno se nosi sa sve većim potrebama za uslugama dugotrajne skrbi te ostaje rezidualnog karaktera, fragmentiran i organiziran po principima sustava socijalne skrbi. Buduće reforme morat će ozbiljnije promisliti o dugoročnoj održivosti sustava, posebice o održivim rješenjima financiranja dugotrajne skrbi.Ključne riječi: skrb za starije osobe, individualizacija skrbi, profesionalizacija skrbi, uvođenje elemenata tržišta u pružanje skrbi Ivana Dobrotić, Pravni fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Studijski centar socijalnog rada, Nazorova 51, 10 000 Zagreb, Hrvatska.

“…Family-work confl ict is therefore the opposite, when work obligations are neglected because of family pressures'. Because of demographic reasons, Europe being an aging continent, that problem is now in most European societies increasingly perceived as a task for three parties to be solved: the family, the state and the labour market (Blossfeld and Hofmeister, 2006;Bradshaw and Hatland, 2006;European Observatory, 2003;Knijn and Komter, 2004;Lutz et al, 2006;Pfau-Effi nger and Geissler, 2005).…”

The article takes the perspective of parenthood as a complex transition process that young adults have to pass through and have to manage. Becoming and being a parent today is not a self-evident stage in the life course as it was for former generations, but involves the necessity and ability to develop and use networks and learn to fi nd a balance between options and constraints. Starting from youth sociological theories about destandardized life courses in late modernity, the Dutch case is taken to illustrate new learning demands and desires of young parents, Dutch as well as non-Dutch. The 'combination problem' of work and care is different for Dutch and non-Dutch young parents. Political initiatives and new institutional facilities at the local level have developed, which are intended to activate the self-responsibility of young adults and parents. It is shown that the social welfare state of the Netherlands still provides fair living chances for the majority of young people and parents but that the tension between Dutch and non-Dutch groups is growing.
