UNEMPLOYMENT OF THE FIRST-TIME JOB SEEKERS IN KRANJ COMMUNE

Vsak človek se v svojem življenju sreča z iskanjem prve zaposlitve. V današnjih časih je to precej zahteven proces, saj živimo v času gospodarske krize, ko nekatera podjetja propadajo, spet druga ne zaposlujejo nove delovne sile. Možnosti zaposlitve so tako zelo omejene. V diplomskem delu smo se osredotočili na registrirano brezposelnost prvih iskalcev zaposlitve v občini Kranj. Prvi iskalci zaposlitve so mladi, ki prvič vstopajo na trg dela po zaključenem izobraževanju, imajo formalno izobrazbo, pogosto pa nimajo primernih delovnih izkušenj, ki jih delodajalci zahtevajo za določeno delovno mesto. Diplomsko delo obsega teoretični in raziskovalni del. V teoretičnem delu diplomske naloge smo predstavili mladinski trg delovne sile, opredelili vrste brezposelnosti, opisali psihološke posledice brezposelnosti ter prednosti in slabosti mladih iskalcev zaposlitve, opisali metode iskanja zaposlitve, analizirali aktivno politiko zaposlovanja ter podali ukrepe za boljši nastop na trgu dela. V raziskovalnem delu smo s pomočjo statističnih podatkov ugotovili stanje prvih iskalcev zaposlitve na trgu dela v občini Kranj med leti 2009, 2010 in 2011. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali je bilo na Zavodu za zaposlovanje Območne službe Kranj več prijavljenih prvih iskalcev zaposlitve s V. ali s VII. stopnjo izobrazbe ter ali se čakalna doba prvih iskalcev zaposlitve v teh letih podaljšuje. Na podlagi podanih hipotez smo ugotovili, da število prvih iskalcev zaposlitve med leti 2009, 2010 in 2011 narašča, poleg tega je bilo na Zavodu Republike Slovenije za zaposlovanje v teh letih prijavljenih več prvih iskalcev zaposlitve s V. stopnjo izobrazbe kot s VII. stopnjo izobrazbe, čakalna doba prvih iskalcev zaposlitve pa se podaljšuje. Povečuje se tudi delež dolgotrajno brezposelnih prvih iskalcev zaposlitve.Every person faces the problem of finding his/her first job in his/her lifetime. In these days it is quite a difficult process because we live in a time of economic crises – some companies go bankrupt, others do not employ new workers. That means that job opportunities are quite limited. In this thesis we focused on registered unemployment of first-time job seekers in Kranj commune. First-time job seekers are young people who are entering the labor market after they finished education. They have formal education, but they often do not have adequate work experiences that employers require for the job. Thesis consists of theoretical and research part. In theoretical part we presented youth labor market, types of unemployment, described psychological consequences of youth unemployment, the advantages and disadvantages of young job seekers, described job searching methods, analyzed active employment policy and gave some suggestions for a better performance on the labor market. By using statistics we determined the status of first-time job seekers in Kranj commune during the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. We were also interested whether there were more first-time job seekers with V. level of education or with VII. level of education registered at the Employment Service, regional office Kranj. Further, we tried to find whether the time before finding a job extends for the first-time job seekers between 2009, 2010 and 2011. On the basis of given hypotheses, we found that the number of first job seekers is growing between the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. In these years, there were more first-time job seekers registred at the Employment Service who have V. level of education than seekers who have Vll. level of education. We also found that time before finding first job is extending for young job seekes. In addition, the share of long-term unemployed is increasing between first-time job seekers
