Abstract

Siromaštvo je globalan problem koji utječe kako na pojedinca tako i na društvo u cjelini. Siromaštvo, shvaćeno kao opći nedostatak odnosno izrazit manjak financijskih sredstava, povlači za sobom i smanjene mogućnosti potpunog i aktivnog funkcioniranja ljudi u društvu – socijalnu isključenost. Razumijevanje odrednica siromaštva, vrsta siromaštva, njegovih indikatora pa i mjerenja te srodnih pojmova, pomaže nam u nalaženju adekvatnih načina za ublažavanje istoga. Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati ulogu zajamčene minimalne naknade kao sredstva za ublažavanje siromaštva. Socijalni transferi utječu na ublažavanje siromaštva i taj se utjecaj najbolje i najjednostavnije može promatrati kao usporedba stopa rizika od siromaštva prije i nakon socijalnih transfera. Osim toga, usporedbama iznosa zajamčene minimalne naknade, mjesečnih pragova siromaštva i iznosa troškova potrebnih za zdravu prehranu pojedinca odnosno kućanstava na primjeru Republike Hrvatske, Češke, Slovenije, Finske, Bugarske i Rumunjske, pokušali smo pokazati u kojoj mjeri zajamčene minimalne naknade uistinu ublažavaju siromaštvo u tim zemljama. Navedene zemlje smo odabrali iz grupa zemalja s najvišim i najnižim stopama rizika od siromaštva prema podacima Eurostata u 2017. godini. Pokazalo se da veći iznosi zajamčenih minimalnih naknada više utječu na ublažavanje siromaštva nego niži iznosi zajamčenih minimalnih naknada.

Abstract (english)

Poverty is a global problem that affects both individuals and society as a whole. Poverty, perceived as a lack of financial resources, can bring to reduced opportunities and diminishes the possibilities of full and active functioning of people in society - social exclusion. Understanding the determinants of poverty, the type of poverty, its indicators, and measurements, and related terms, helps us find ways to alleviate it. The aim of this paper is to show the role of guaranteed minimum benefit as a means to alleviate poverty. Social transfers affect the alleviation of poverty and this impact is best and simplest to be viewed as a comparison of at risk of poverty rate before and after social transfers. In addition, we have tried to show the extent to which guaranteed minimum benefits compensate for poverty, by comparing the amount of guaranteed minimum benefit, monthly poverty thresholds and the monthly cost required for an adequate food intake for singles and household in example of Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Finland, Bulgaria and Romania. We have selected these countries from groups of countries with the highest and lowest at risk of poverty rates according to Eurostat data for 2017. It has been shown that larger amounts of guaranteed minimum benefits have a greater impact on poverty alleviation than lower guaranteed minimum benefits.
