Social Support to Socially Excluded Romany Families

Vol.5,No.2(2014)

Abstract

The article deals with the topic of social support to socially excluded Romany families. The topic was processed based on the data acquired within field research in selected Romany families living in excluded localities of South Bohemian Region. The data were processed in Atlas.ti Program. The results have shown that primarily material form of social support is both drawn and provided, and its main source - both real and anticipated - is the family in the place of residence. Support is not expected from non-Romany institutions, but it is really used in different forms, including information support. The sources of support change with regard to generation; younger generation shows reduced intergenerational readiness to help.
