“…Consequently, representatives have to find a balance between voluntary and professional logic (Andreassen, 2018), presenting authentic experiential knowledge to maintain their critical role while ensuring a collaborative relationship with the welfare services (Jones et al, 2021). Thus, people in interest organisations may be perceived as unrepresentative, atypical, or inauthentic because of their methods of engagement (Barnes, 1999;Beresford & Campbell, 1994;Martin, 2008a), and professionals in health and welfare services might question whether such individuals have a collective or individual perspective (Mossberg, 2020). Furthermore, people with lived experiences of using public services may perceive the representatives as, therefore, not speaking on their behalf and not viewing them as real users (Bartoszko, 2021).…”

The Participation of People in Vulnerable Situations in Interest Organisations: A Qualitative Study of Representatives Views

People in vulnerable situations have the same right as others to participate in public spheres and influence health and welfare services. However, organisations that support these people and promote their interests are essential to their participation. This study investigated how people in vulnerable situations with lived experiences of using public services participate in organisations representing their interests. Fourteen representatives from eight interest organisations were interviewed. The first theme we developed – namely, participation as representatives of the organisations, revealed that a spokesperson’s role is connected to competence and that users of public services rarely obtain such a position. However, people with experience of using public services participate as living examples in external activities, increasing the groups’ visibility through their physical presence and their stories. The second theme was titled participation in organisational activities. The extent to which people with lived experiences participate in formal meetings varies, but they are often consulted by the organisations and attend events and informal gatherings. Notably, people in vulnerable situations interact with and, thus, influence the service-providing organisations. This article discusses the findings in light of representation theory and their implications for practice.

“…The economics of the extractive industry are addressed in studies (ERICSSON, LOF, 2019;CARVALHO, 2017). Among recent scientific publications that consider entrepreneurial activity in the service sector the works (WITT, GROSS, 2020;LIAO, 2020;KIM, WOOD, 2020;HOOD et al, 2020;MOSSBERG, 2020) are worthy of note. The article (PINKOVETSKAIA et al, 2019) is devoted to the study of the current choice by entrepreneurs of different types of their specialization.…”

The study of the sectoral characteristics of early-stage entrepreneurial activity is one of the topical issues in modern research. The aim of the study is to assess the existing level of specialization of nascent entrepreneurs in modern national economies. The source of information for the analysis of the industry specialization of nascent entrepreneurs was the data provided in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project. The research methodology involved economics modeling with normal density function. The result of the computational experiment is the assessment of the indicator values characterizing the involvement of nascent entrepreneurs in the production and service sectors of national economies. A comparative analysis of the values of indicators for Russia and the foreign countries was carried out. It has been proved that nascent entrepreneurs in the countries under consideration are on average 4 times more likely to start activities in the service sector than in the commodity producing sector.
