YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT
Definition:
Times have changed. Unemployment is a considerable problem in many countries around the world and also in Slovenia. Problem is largely felt by young people when they appear in the labour market. Today there is significantly more unemployment among the young than in the past. In terms of unemployment of youth, Slovenia is below the EU average.
The majority of first-job seekers come directly from schools.
Unemployment is a result of uncertainties and inexperience of new workers, and frequent changes in work when we are looking for secure employment. Young people are one of the most problematic groups because they do not have enough experience how to work and do not know how to look for a job. University study programmes do not follow the changes in demand in the labour market and industrial changes. In their first job, young people have low status in the organizations and thus low wages (average around 800 € net) Young people with lower educational level, however, have additional difficulties in finding employment, particularly less opportunities for good jobs.
Research questions:
Would be there less unemployment among young people if the Faculty requires more compulsory practices during the study?
Is the problem of unemployment also reflected in the fact that the employers in the labour market require a specific type of education, which young workers usually do not have?
