POVERTY RELIEF IN A MIXED ECONOMY - KARIN HEITZ...

This study examines  both conceptually and empirically  the welfare mix in the activity field
of poverty relief and specific shifts of this mix  i.e. changes towards privatization and
marketization. In the first part of the study  the meanings of the concepts 'welfare mix' 
'privatization' and 'marketization' are disentangled and the concepts are connected. Based on
this conceptual framework  the second part of the study assesses the welfare mix in poverty
relief and recent changes thereof empirically. The empirical part focuses on Austria. There 
mainly two types of organizational actors  namely public agencies and nonprofits  provide
poverty alleviation. Thus  only the roles and contributions of these two types of providers are
examined.
