• Social trap, preference of short term individual benefits over long term or societal, decreases long term product of the economy and social peace. These negative consequences are greatly visible in marginalized Roma communities, which is the main focus of this project. This interdisciplinary and interdepartmental project combines qualitative analysis and field studies with quantitative analysis on hard micro and macro data. Qualitative analysis will be made in locations with larger marginalized Roma communities and will focus on monetary as well as non-monetary aspect of social trap. Microdata analysis will be based on data by Social insurance company and by Central office of labour, social affairs and family. Quantitative macro analysis will be based on Atlas of Roma communities and aggregated microdata. The outputs will contain concrete recommendations as well as quantification of fiscal and economic impacts. As this is applied research project, we continue basic research projects done by the research team in the past and thus use their outputs for practice. The outputs of the project will be consulted with people from active work with marginalized communities and representatives of customers, which will be curatorium of the project. Project's outputs will be mainly used in Slovak realities, however they will also have impact in European scope as recommendations or best practices.
