LEGAL AND FINANCIAL SET UP IN SPANISH SOCIAL ECONOMY FOR THE LABOUR INSERTION OF DISABLED CITIZENS – The case of ONCE

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to emphasize the use of Social Economy Principles to the labour insertion of disabled people in Spain between the early eighties and the present time. The legal and financial set up of the subsector of the Social Economy is described to explain the institutional set up of the ONCE Institutions: Foundation ONCE-FUNDOSA Group-Foundation INSERTA triangle. This Institutional set-up is synthesized in the XTALENTO Programme that is co-funded by the European Social Fund. This social economy system has achieved remarkable indicators and is sustainable. Should Romania copy this model or should it extract the best practices? This open question closes the paper. As side elements, the sophisticated Spanish system to absorb structural Funds, in particular European Social Fund is explained and a comparison with Romanian system is done.
