Abstract

Broj mladih koji upisuju i završavaju fakultete kontinuirano raste, a mnogi baš u obrazovanju vide najbolju obranu od siromaštva i socijalne isključenosti. Na žalost, to nije praćeno izgradnjom snažnog tržišta rada koje bi im osiguralo radna mjesta. Globalna kriza se značajno odrazila na mlade, visokoobrazovane osobe kojih je zbog nemogućnosti pronalaska posla sve više u riziku od siromaštva. Mladi iz siromašnih obitelji ili nerazvijenijih krajeva osjećaju se diskriminiranima jer se prilikom zapošljavanja obično daje prednost onima koji imaju „dobre veze“, te se na taj način preferiraju osobe koje su ionako u boljem položaju od siromašnih i socijalno isključenih. Sustav obrazovanja i sustav zapošljavanja i dalje nisu usklađeni. Država ne štiti dovoljno mlade nezaposlene osobe. Aktivni programi tržišta rada nisu učinkoviti ako ih ne prati otvaranje novih radnih mjesta. Tu su i osobne karakteristike visokoobrazovanih mladih osoba nevezane izravno za tržište rada koje ih mogu odvesti u siromaštvo. Praksu ublažavanja i rješavanja ovih problema, kao i olakšavanja situacije mladih trebalo bi podići na višu razinu.

Abstract (english)

Number of young people who are enrollling and graduating collage is continuously growth and lots of people see education as the best defence against poverty and social exclusion. Unfortunally it's not followed by growth of labor market which would provide work for them. Global crisis has significantly impacted the young, highly-educated people who are in risk of poverty because they are unable to find a job. Young from poor families or undeveloped areas feel discriminated because advantage is often given to those with „connections“, and that way they prefer those who are in better position anyway from poor and social exclusion. Educational and employment system are still not matched. The state doesn't protect the young unemployed people enough. Active labor market programs are not affective if they are not followed by opening of new work places. There are also personal caracteristics of young, highly-educated which are not directly connected to labor market which can lead them to poverty. The practice of reduction as well as solving of these problems and making the situation easier should be raised to higher level.
