This paper presents and discusses the characteristics of the social protection of children with intellectual disabilities who are placed in children's homes in Serbia. It draws on a survey that covered the entire population—586 users in all five institutions for children with intellectual disabilities who resided there in 2009. The analysis shows the heterogeneity of users in relation to age and degree of intellectual disability, their long-term stay in homes, the inadequate structural and functional standards, and insufficient health care. Residential care becomes the most common form of permanent rather than temporary care. These findings suggest the need for a number of strategies to be adopted, and the paper concludes by outlining potential ways forward. (Publisher abstract)

Presents three examples of young Kosovar children who were exposed to brutal violence together with their mothers to illustrate the importance of understanding the impact of traumatic events on young children's development from the perspective of the parent - child relationship. The traumatised mothers' internal representations of self and self-being-together-with-child were damaged, and this in turn led to their care-giving system and internal representations of the children being negatively affected. No longer being able to see themselves as protective and loving parents, the mothers were unable to respond to their children with care-giving behaviour. The traumatised children's increased attachment behaviour and posttraumatic symptoms functioned as a trigger for posttraumatic symptoms in the mothers and contributed to a disengagement of the care-giving system. The on-going process disrupted the previous attachment pattern in mother - child interaction and a disorganized attachment pattern developed.

This paper assesses the labour market integration of ex-Yugoslav immigrants in Austria and Sweden in terms of three relevant structural characteristics of the two societies: immigration policies, labour markets and welfare regulations. The Austrian 1996 micro-census and the Swedish 1997 labour force survey data are utilised to explore the labour market attainment of ex-Yugoslav citizens in Austria and Sweden in terms of four outcomes: labour force participation, unemployment, economic sector concen tration and occupational status. The labour market situations of pre-1973 immigrants in Sweden and Austria were found to be quite similar, while more recent immigrants to Sweden show distinctly lower activity rates and higher unemployment risks compared to natives than do their counterparts who went to Austria. If successful in finding a job, recent Yugoslav immigrants in Sweden managed to enter more prestigious occupations than their compatriots in Austria, but immigrants in both countries are disadvantaged if compared to the native-born. The study demonstrates that, when controlling for period of migration, citizenship per se does not influence labour market outcomes in Sweden. In Austria, in contrast, non-citizens have higher risks of employment in the non-tertiary sector and hold jobs of lower occupational status.

Using the HSCL-25, the levels of anxiety and depression were measured for refugees from Vietnam, Somalia, and the former Yugoslavia (N = 60) who were clients of a community social services agency. Depression and anxiety levels were highest among the Vietnamese clients, anxiety levels were highest among the Somalians, and both anxiety and depression level were lowest for former Yugoslavians. Based on gender, anxiety levels were high for both the Vietnamese and Somalian males, while depression levels were highest for the Vietnamese males. Single females as a group exceeded the cutting score at higher rates than single males; in contrast, married males exceeded the cutting score at a higher rate than married females. A highly correlated relationship was demonstrated between anxiety and depression (r = 0.70, p < 0.001). Using ANOVA, depression significantly differed between the refugee groups (p = 0.007); differences in anxiety between refugee groups were not statistically significant.
