Texte intégralThis work was conducted during an internship with the Social Venture Fund (SVF) in Munich which is the first social impact investing institution that strategically targets social enterprises with innovative driven solutions that tackle urgent societal and/or environmental challenges across Europe (SVF, 2013). The SVF addresses the funding gap often faced by social enterprises and aims to assure rate of returns with percentages similar to bank deposits but invests in social entrepreneurial solutions with the objective of maximizing social impact. It commonly provides debt and mezzanine capital as well as equity investments through preferred shares. The SVF 1 with a volume of 7.3 million Euros is currently invested in five social enterprises named ‘Auticon’1, ‘Deutschland rundet auf’2, ‘Essex Social Impact Bond’3, ‘Kinderzentren Kunterbunt’4 and ‘VerbaVoice’5 (SVF, 2013). Thus SVF 1 attracts investors who are mainly driven by impact generation (Santos, 2012). With regard to SVF 2 (First closing 09/12/13: 16.4m €) the team is highly interested in discovering social challenges, innovative ideas and social enterprises across Europe as potential future fund’s investments. Therefore it is important to investigate social issues/ sectors that could be of interest. The present work intends to understand and demonstrate the process of identifying a field of investment according to problem size, attractiveness, maturity, existence of established solutions and identification of investment opportunities. The research aims to investigate whether a sector could be of interest for impact investing institutions who are willing to (financially) support the scaling-up or replication of social enterprises and which entrepreneurial solutions already exist in terms of quality and quantity. The focus is on the case of population ageing in Europe and its consequences which represent growing problems for society and hence provide space for social entrepreneurship (SE). Accordingly existing and emerging opportunities for impact investors in the field of elderly will be demonstrated.

Texte intégralINTRODUCTION: Mental health problems are responsible for significant morbidity worldwide, due to its high frequency and association with physical comorbidities, levels of disability and impact in quality of life of patients and caregivers. The occurrence of common mental disorders (CMD) is influenced by biological, social, economic and demographic factors. The social context may play an important role in the etiology of mental disorders and their prevalence. OBJECTIVES: To investigate risk factors associated with the prevalence, incidence and prognosis of CMD in a low income population from the city of São Paulo, considering different contextual levels: individual, household, and census tract. METHOD: The present study used data from the population-based prospective investigation \"São Paulo Ageing & Health Study\" (SPAH). The individuals selected were living in households in which there were at least two study participants with assessments for presence of TMC, identified by the instrument Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). We assessed independent associations between CMD and the sociodemographic and households characteristics of the participants, through multilevel logistic regression models, having as outcome variables the prevalence of CMD at inclusion and the presence of TMC at the 2-year follow-up assessment. RESULTS: We included 2.366 individuals in the cross-sectional study, carried out in the period from 2003 to 2005. The prevalence of CMD in this sample was 43%. Individual characteristics sex, age, education and occupation were associated with the prevalence of CMD. The household characteristics crowding, living with children, possessions, basic sanitation and family income were also associated with the prevalence of CMD. Multilevel logistic regression models showed that part of the variance in the prevalence of CMD was associated with the household level, with associations between crowding, family income and prevalence of CMD, even after controlling for individual characteristics. In the longitudinal study, 1.733 individuals were reassessed in the period of 2005-2007. The prevalence of CMD at 2 years was 33%, with 8% in individuals without TMC at inclusion. Individual characteristics sex, age and occupation and household characteristic family income were associated with presence of CMD at follow-up. Multilevel logistic regression models for longitudinal data showed that most of the variance associated with presence of CMD was associated with the level of the individual, with associations between sex, age, education, occupation and CMD, even after controlling for household characteristics. The household level also contributed independently to the variance related to the presence of TMC at follow-up, with associated fixed effect for family income, even after controlling for individual characteristics. CONCLUSION: The results showed that individual characteristics contribute to most of the variance in the prevalence, incidence and prognosis of TMC, but there is an independent association with the household level, which is not fully explained by family income. These results indicate that characteristics of the environment where people live contribute to their mental health, suggesting that future research focus on the psychosocial characteristics of households and neighborhoods to study the social and TMC

Texte intégralO envelhecimento da população, cuja tendência demográfica é de crescimento, representa um desafio para as instituições sociais no domínio da intervenção social. O IASFA, I.P. enquanto sistema interventor vê-se confrontado na atualidade com um número cada vez maior de beneficiários que se inscreveram para as suas Estruturas Residenciais para Pessoas Idosas (ERPI) e que depois de aguardarem em média seis anos e meio em lista de candidatos decidiram adiar o seu processo de institucionalização. Com o objetivo de identificar os fatores que determinaram esse adiamento desenhamos um estudo qualitativo, utilizando uma amostra não probabilista. A partir das entrevistas realizadas a 12 beneficiários que se tinham candidatado à ERPI do Centro de Apoio Social (CAS) de Oeiras e que adiaram a institucionalização identificamos oito fatores multidimensionais: o perfil sociodemográfico dos entrevistados, transversal aos outros fatores; a preferência por envelhecer em casa; a autonomia e a independência; a existência de uma rede social de apoio; o custo económico; a ocupação do tempo e atividades de tempos livres; assuntos pendentes e as representações sobre instituições tipo ERPI. Os fatores identificados são os mesmos que levam as pessoas a preferirem envelhecer nas suas casas e comunidades (ageing in place) ao longo do tempo.
Population ageing, which maintains a growing tendency, presents itself as a challenge for institutions responsible for social intervention. IASFA, I.P. as an intervener system, is confronted with an increasing number of beneficiaries that applied for a residential structure for elderly (ERPI) and after staying in the waiting list for, in average, six and a half years, when called, refused the admission, deciding to delay the institutionalization process. With the purpose of investigating the factors of that decision, we have drawn a qualitative study, using a non-probabilistic sample. Twelve beneficiaries that applied for ERPI of Social Support Centre (CAS) of Oeiras and decided to postpone the admission were interviewed and eight multidimensional factors were identified: socio-demographic profile (transversal to all remaining factors); preference for ageing in place; autonomy and independence; the existence of a social network of support; economic costs; time use and leisure activities; unsolved personal issues and personal beliefs of ERPI. Most of the factors identified are the same that lead people to choose growing old at their homes and communities (ageing in place)

Texte intégralEste estudo exploratório pretende identificar e analisar a relação entre duas variáveis fundamentais, a Satisfação com o Suporte Social e a Depressão em idosos institucionalizados. Langford e seus colaboradores (1997, citado por Rodrigues & Madeira, 2009) concluíram que à medida que o nível do suporte social do cônjuge e da família aumenta, a prevalência dos transtornos de humor diminuem. Neste sentido, foi aplicado o Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) a uma amostra inicial de 30 idosos institucionalizados, que culminou numa amostra definitiva, composta por 20 idosos sem défice cognitivo (verificado através do ponto de corte do MMSE), sem deficiência visual e/ou auditiva a qual foi constituída por 14(70%) idosos do género feminino e 6(30%) do género masculino, com idades variando entre os 65 e os 89 anos de idade (M = 79,3; D.P. = 6,05). Esta amostra foi recolhida no Lar D. Joaquina Leite Lage da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Fafe, entre Fevereiro e Junho de 2009. Foram aplicados um Questionário Sócio-Demográfico, a Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social (ESSS) e a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (EDG) para testar uma hipótese geral quanto à relação entre a Satisfação com o Suporte Social e a Depressão, e duas hipóteses específicas quanto às relações entre as variáveis Sócio-Demográficas, por um lado, e as duas variáveis principais, por outro. Os principais resultados obtidos para a H1 evidenciaram a existência de uma relação parcialmente inversa entre as variáveis Satisfação com o Suporte Social e a Depressão em idosos institucionalizados (p < 0,05), sendo o Factor 2 (Intimidade) da variável Satisfação com o Suporte Social determinante entre estas variáveis. Quanto às hipóteses específicas, esta verificaram-se parcialmente, isto é, para a H1.1, o Factor 3 (Satisfação com a Família) para a variável Género e os Factores 2 (Intimidade) e 3 (Satisfação com a Família) para a variável Comprometimento Conjugal têm um papel relevante na Satisfação com o Suporte Social; e para a H1.2, a variável Comprometimento Conjugal tem um papel relevante na Depressão. Considerando o papel importante que a satisfação com o suporte social tem para evitar o desenvolvimento de episódios depressivos, assim como na recuperação de uma situação depressiva, parece essencial uma intervenção psicossocial adequada ao idoso institucionalizado, fomentando as relações familiares, de intimidade e de comprometimento conjugal de modo a evitar o agravamento da situação própria da depressão geriátrica que no limite pode levar ao suicídio do idoso. This explanatory study intends to identify and analyse the relation between two essential variables, Social Support Satisfaction and Depression in institutionalized elders. Langford and his collaborators (1997, quoted by Rodrigues & Madeira, 2009) concluded that as the level of the spouse and family’s social support increases, the prevalence of mood swings decreases. Considering this, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was applied to a starting sample of 30 institutionalized elderly, which ended up in a definite sample of 20 elderly with no cognitive deficit (verified using the cutting point of the MMSE), with no visual and/or hearing deficiency which consisted of 14(70%) female elders and 6(30%) of male elders, between 65 and 89 years old (M = 79,3; D.P. = 6,05). This sample was taken at the D. Joaquina Leite Lage Nursing Home of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia in Fafe between February and June 2009. We used a Social-Demographic Questionnaire, the Satisfaction Scale with Social Support (ESSS) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (EDG) to test a general hypothesis as to the relation between Satisfaction with Social Support and Depression, and two specific hypotheses as to the relations between the Social-Demographic variables and as to the main variables. The main results obtained for H1 highlighted the existence of a partially reversed relation between the variables Satisfaction with Social Support and Depression in institutionalized elders (p < 0,05), showing that Factor 2 (Intimacy) of the variable Satisfaction with Social Support as determinant in these two variables. As to the specific hypotheses, they were partially present, meaning that, for H1.1, Factor 3 (Satisfaction with Family) to the Social-Demographic variable Gender and Factors 2 (Intimacy) and 3 (Satisfaction with Family) to the Social-Demographic variable Commitment to Spouse have a significant role in Depression. Considering the important role that social support plays in avoiding the development of depressive episodes, as well as in the recovery of a depressive state, it seems essential to have an adequate psycho-social intervention for the institutionalized elderly, developing family relationships, intimacy and commitment to spouses as to prevent the escalation of a situation of geriatric depression which can, in an extreme, lead to the elder’s suicide.

Texte intégralThe issue of the ageing of the immigrant population in France is not a recent one. The subject has taken on particular importance in recent years in the context of the ageing of the French population in general. Our research focuses first of all on immigrants in France aged 60 or older from African Maghreb - Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia - and secondly on social services employees (primarily healthcare personnel and social workers) who have availed of training sessions on the care of older immigrants which were organized in various French regions. Our study also includes professionals who will work in the same field in the future. Our thesis concerns the migratory journey and life paths of older Maghrebin immigrants in France, focused on one central question: how do these older immigrants describe and analyse their own experience in France? Behind this question lies the broader picture of how these immigrants have been looked after and treated by their host country. In order to answer this question, our central hypothesis is based on the actor’s theory: “above and beyond the common perception that reduces the immigrants’ experience to one of misery and difficulties encountered upon their arrival in France, the elderly immigrants view their migratory journeys and life trajectories in a positive light.” In terms of methodology, we based our research on numerous studies, statistical analyses, and various committee reports, particularly those produced in the context of training sessions devoted to older immigrant populations, and associated questionnaires completed by the immigrants themselves. Semi-directed interviews with immigrants also constitute a fundamental part of the research. Finally, our doctoral thesis highlights three key points: firstly, that there is a paradigm shift in terms of the perception of older immigrants. Our study underscores the evolution from the image of a perpetually suffering immigrant weighed down by the constraints of life to that of an active player capable of analysing his or her own situation objectively, far from preconceived notions of misery and victimization. The second point concerns social care. In considering how best to respond to the needs of this population, we deemed it important to adopt a transversal approach in which partnership is fundamental. The third point relates to best practices. These practices are not purely theoretical, but are the tangible result of brainstorming and reflection by intersectoral working groups made up of professionals drawn from diverse backgrounds as well as the beneficiaries of the practices themselves
