Abstract

Sažetak:
Sustav socijalne skrbi u Hrvatskoj dio je sustava socijalne sigurnosti čija je uloga javnim mjerama osigurati zaštitu građana od socijalnih rizika. Razvoj sustava na današnjem području Republike Hrvatske započinje nakon Drugog svjetskog rata uslijed povećane potrebe saniranja ratnih posljedica. Za vrijeme Federativne Socijalističke Republike Jugoslavije osnivaju se tijela za obavljanje poslova iz djelokruga socijalne skrbi te se uspostavljaju prvi oblici socijalne pomoći za najranjivije skupine. Kroz povijest su se mijenjali uvjeti ostvarivanja socijalne pomoći, visina osnovice i naziv. Posljednja izmjena termina nastupila je 2014. godine kada se počinje upotrebljavati izraz zajamčena minimalna naknada. Diplomski rad donosi evaluaciju zajamčene minimalne naknade, njene primjerenosti i učinkovitosti u ublažavanju posljedica siromaštva te analizu strukture korisnika s ciljem boljeg razumijevanja temeljnog oblika opće socijalne pomoći u Hrvatskoj. Obrađuju se koncepti ovisnosti o socijalnoj pomoći te se argumentira potreba uvođenja “workfare“ programa. Analiza strukture korisnika zajamčene minimalne naknade pokazuje da se većinom radi o radno sposobnim korisnicima koji naknadu primaju duže od dvije godine. U skladu s time, nužno je poduzeti mjere za aktivaciju korisnika zajamčene minimalne naknade uz cjelovitu reformu sustava socijalne skrbi koja će sanirati višegodišnje probleme i osigurati djelotvorne naknade i usluge.

Abstract (english)

The Croatian social assistance system is a part of a social security system aimed at protecting citizens from social risks through public measures. The development of the system on today’s territory of the Republic of Croatia begins after World War II, due to an increased need of sanctioning the consequences of war. During the Federal Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, various bodies were established for carrying out social welfare work, as well as the establishment of the first forms of social assistance for the most vulnerable groups. Throughout history, there have been various conditions of social assistance, including the name and basis height. The most recent term modification was in 2014., when the term ‘guaranteed minimum compensation’ was introduced. The thesis provides an evaluation of the guaranteed minimum compensation, of its appropriateness and efficiency, when it comes to the mitigation of poverty consequences and analysis of the user structure, all with the goal of a better understanding of the fundamental form of general social assistance in Croatia. The concepts of social assistance dependency are being processed, together with the need to introduce a so-called workfare program. According to an analysis of the structure of beneficiaries of the guaranteed compensation, there are mostly work-able users who tend to receive compensation for more than two years. Therefore, it is necessary to provide measures for the activation of the guaranteed minimum compensation users, including a complete reform of the social assistance system that will be able to address ongoing challenges, as well as ensure some effective compensations and services.
