11 CAPACITY TO SELF-SUSTAINMENT Among Right to Protection’s beneficiaries, the overwhelming majority are representatives of socially vulnerable groups: single people, homeless people, people released from prison, Roma, and residents of temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Due to lack of identity documents, it is difficult for stateless persons to find work and to provide for themselves (or a family), and at the same time it is impossible to obtain state social protection. Without documents it is also impossible to receive a pension, which is why elderly people find themselves in very difficult situations. Therefore, quarantine, even though it is intended to prevent the spread of the epidemic, will have a negative impact on the situation of stateless persons. This is also confirmed by the answers of the study participants. Thus, among those surveyed, 24 respondents (13%) indicated that they are pensioners or incapacitated. 161 respondents (85%) are able to work, but due to lack of documents they have no chance of getting an official job. Therefore, people are forced to work unofficially. In addition, many of the respondents have lost their jobs because of the lockdown. According to the results of the survey, most of the respondents - 66% (106 people) - among employable people were employed before the quarantine measures. But 57% of them (61 people) became unemployed due to the introduction of lockdown restrictions. Lost my job (unofficial), I'm afraid there won't be enough food until the end of the lockdown. I contacted various humanitarian organizations, but never received any help. No money for food, no utilities. Among the participants of the survey, 1 person was officially employed in accordance with labor legislation, and another 1 person indicated that he/she is an entrepreneur. ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING?
