Abstract

Novo siromaštvo predstavlja prelazak iz relativno sigurnog načina života u relativno nesiguran i neizvjesan način života. Novo siromaštvo je oblik financijske neizvjesnosti i zaduženosti. U današnjici tema novog siromaštva postaje sve bitnija upravo iz razloga što predstavlja novih sloj siromašnih ljudi i nove probleme s kojima se takvi pojedinci i obitelji nose za razliku od tradicionalno siromašnih građana. Cilj ovog rada je bio prikazati koncept novog siromaštva u Republici Hrvatskoj. Da bi se dobili rezultati provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje na temelju intervjua sa sudionicima istraživanja s ciljem stjecanja uvida u njihovu individualnu perspektivu i njihova iskustva.
Rezultati istraživanja obuhvaćaju 25 kategorija od kojih se 7 kategorija odnosi na okolnosti u kojima su se sudionici istraživanja susreli s rizikom od siromaštva dok se 13 kategorija odnosi na strategije nošenja s novim siromaštvom. Preostalih 5 kategorija predstavlja osobne ciljeve sudionika istraživanja odnosno promjene u sustavu kojima oni teže. Objašnjeni su načini na koje se novi siromašni nose s nepovoljnom materijalnom situacijom. Također je i objašnjena uloga socijalne skrbi te su se kroz praktične implikacije nastojale navesti promjene koje bi struka socijalnog rada i socijalni radnici kao stručni radnicitrebali zagovarati i primijeniti u svom radu. Kao zaključak predlaže se bolje usmjeravanje sredstava te racionalnije korištenje javnih izdataka, državne reforme, promjena Ovršnog zakona Republike Hrvatske te prevencija problema zaduženosti.

Abstract (english)

New poverty is a transition from a relatively safe way of life in a relatively uncertain and precarious way of life. New poverty is a form of financial uncertainty and debt. In the present day the theme of the new poverty is becoming more important precisely because it represents a new class of poor people and new problems with which such individuals and families carry unlike the traditional poor citizens. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the concept of new poverty in the Republic of Croatia. In order to get the results of the conducted qualitative research based on interviews with participants of research with the aim of gaining insight into their individual perspective and their experience. Research results include 25 categories, of which 7 categories refer to circumstances in which the participants in the study met the risk of poverty while 13 categories refer to strategies to cope with the new poverty. The remaining five categories represent the personal goals of the survey participants or changes in the system to which they aspire. It explains the ways in which the new poor cope with the unfavorable financial situation. We also explained the role of social welfare and through the practical implications we tried to indicate possible changes to the profession of social work which social workers as professional workers should advocate and apply in their work. As a conclusion we proposed a better targeting of resources and rational use of public expenditure, government reform, changes to the Forced payment law of the Republic of Croatia and prevention of the problem of indebtedness.
