Abstract

Glavni cilj ovog rada je dobiti sliku o načinima uključivanja beskućnika na tržište rada u Europskoj uniji i Hrvatskoj te dobiti uvid u to koliko su beskućnici prepoznati kao ranjiva skupina na tržištu rada od strane kreatora politika, koliko su ciljani mjerama zapošljavanja i dr. Dosadašnje spoznaje pokazuju kako su beskućnici vrlo slabo ili nikako ciljani europskim i hrvatskim politikama zapošljavanja. S jedne strane, ukoliko su prepoznati kao ranjiva skupina, najčešće se kroz mjere radi na rješavanju njihova stambenog pitanja. To potvrđuje i činjenica da se najviše usluga namijenjenih beskućnicima, odnose upravo na stanovanje (npr. prihvatilišta i prenoćišta). S druge strane, može se reći da su ciljani nekim politikama zapošljavanja, međutim po nekoj drugoj osnovi. Dakle, mjere nisu „krojene“ isključivo za beskućnike i prilagođene njihovim višestrukim potrebama, već su krojene za neke druge ranjive skupine u koje i beskućnici mogu pripadati, no po toj osnovi u mjere može ući samo mali dio beskućnika. Usluge za beskućnike u sferi zapošljavanja, najbolje su organizirane od strane organizacija civilnog društva. U tom vidu, osnivanje socijalnih poduzeća gdje se beskućnici zapošljavaju pokazala se kao relativno učinkovita metoda zapošljavanje beskućnika. Uz to, suradnja državne vlasti, privatnog sektora i neprofitnog sektora pokazalo se učinkovitim jer na taj način se zadovoljavaju višestruke i složene potrebe istovremeno te postiže zaposlenje. Sve u svemu, postoji još mnogo prostora za unaprjeđenje politike zapošljavanja beskućnika koja bi se usmjerila isključivo na beskućnike kao ranjivu skupinu.

Abstract (english)

The main goal of this paper is to examine the ways of including the homeless into the labor market in the European Union and Croatia, and to get an insight into how the homeless are recognized as a vulnerable group on the labor market by policy makers, how much they are targeted by employment measures, etc. The results showed that homeless people are very weak or not at all targeted by European and Croatian employment policies. On the one hand, if they are recognized as a vulnerable group, measures are usually taken to solve their housing issue. This is confirmed by the fact that most of the services intended for the homeless are related to housing (e.g., shelters). On the other hand, it can be said that they are targeted by some employment policies, but on a different basis. Therefore, the measures are not "tailored" exclusively for the homeless and adapted to their multiple needs but are tailored for some other vulnerable groups to which the homeless may also belong, but on this basis, only a small part of the homeless can be included in the measures. Services for the homeless in the sphere of employment are best organized by civil society organizations. In this regard, the establishment of social enterprises where the homeless are employed has proven to be an effective method of employing the homeless. In addition, the model of cooperation between the state government, the private sector and the non-profit sector has proven to be effective, because in this way multiple and complex needs are met at the same time and employment is achieved. All in all, there is still a lot of room for improving homeless employment policies that would focus exclusively on the homeless as a vulnerable group.
