Abstract

Dinka Marinović Jerolimov and Nikolina Hazdovac Bajić examine the case of Croatia in this chapter, a postcommunist country with a dominant Roman Catholic religious society. The official social welfare system in Croatia started to function in the communist period (1945–1990), more precisely during the 1960s, with the implementation of the first legislation that sought to comprehensively regulate that area and the establishment of independent institutions that deal with social issues. The authors seek to provide insight into the role and function of church-based organizations in the welfare system in Croatia, considering both the communist and postcommunist social and legal context.
