| Anotation | The project focuses on the lived experience of poverty of clients of social activation services for families with children, specifically young people and their parents. Poverty is a significant factor affecting the lives of children and youth in the Czech Republic (PAQ Research and IDEA, 2020) and remains a serious issue for social work. The lived experiences of social work clients remain underutilized as a source of information. However, their active involvement and voice in research can help to seek new alternative ways of social work intervention (Krumer-Nevo, 2008). The aim of this research is to understand the lived experience of poverty of clients of social activation services for families with children, specifically young people and their parents, and to explore how neoliberal narratives of personal responsibility permeate this experience. The theoretical framework of the project is based on a structural social work approach and the concept of poverty as a psychosocial problem. A qualitative research strategy using a narrative approach will be adopted to achieve the research aim. Narrative interviews will be conducted with parents and young people (aged 16-26). The project should show how lived experiences of poverty may differ or resemble each other generationally and offer new impulses for social work with families and youth in the era of neoliberalism. |
