Social law status of self-employed persons in the field of culture

Magistrsko delo obravnava položaj samozaposlenih v kulturi znotraj slovenskega sistema socialne varnosti, pri čemer se osredotoča na sistem socialnih zavarovanj. Magistrsko delo je razdeljeno na štiri dele. V prvem delu magistrske naloge je pojasnjen sam pojem samozaposlenih v kulturi in opisan njihov pravni položaj v slovenskem pravnem redu. V drugem delu je predstavljen sistem socialnih zavarovanj v slovenski zakonodaji in opredeljen položaj samozaposlenih v kulturi znotraj štirih obveznih zavarovanj: zdravstvenega zavarovanja, pokojninskega in invalidskega zavarovanja, zavarovanja za starševsko varstvo in zavarovanja za primer brezposelnosti. V tretjem delu je obravnavan položaj samozaposlenih v kulturi na slovenskem kulturnem trgu, vključno s področno zakonodajo, ter sama kultura in navade, ki le-tega oblikujejo in vplivajo na zaposljivost samozaposlenih oseb. Prikazane so ovire, s katerimi se samozaposleni v kulturi soočajo pri opravljanju svojega dela, ter opisani ukrepi, ki jih je država na področju socialne varnosti uvedla specifično za samozaposlene osebe s statusom samozaposlene osebe v kulturi. Četrti in sklepni del naloge je namenjen ugotovitvi ali se glede na osnovni namen socialne varnosti, ki pomeni predvsem zagotavljanje dohodkovne varnosti oziroma kontinuitete dohodka delavcem in drugim aktivnim osebam in njihovim družinskim članom v času, ko ne morejo delati ali imajo povečane stroške, uresničuje v primeru samozaposlenih v kulturi znotraj slovenskega pravnega reda.The Master\u27s thesis addresses the very specific position that self-employed persons in the field of culture hold in the social security system in Slovenia. The thesis is divided in four sections. In its first part the thesis presents the meaning and the legal situation of self-employed persons in the field of culture within the Slovenian legal system. In its second part the thesis comprises an analysis of social insurances and presents the legal status of self-employed persons in the field of culture within four branches of mandatory insurance: health insurance, pension and disability insurance, parental protection insurance and unemployment insurance. The third part analyses the position of self-employed persons in the field of culture within the Slovenian cultural market, the legislation, culture itself and the habits that form the cultural market and impact the employment patterns. The fourth and final part of the research is concerned with the question whether the basic purpose of social security, i.e. the provision of appropriate cash benefits and benefits in kind aimed either at substituting for one’s lost income and lowering their living costs or at preventing poverty and social exclusion, is achieved in the case of self-employed persons in the field of culture
