Comparison of unemployment in Spain and Slovenia

Človek je družbeno bitje, zaposlitev pa predstavlja del njegove identitete, zato je zmotno mišljenje, da je zaposlitev zgolj sredstvo za preživetje. Zaposlitev je veliko več. Delo predstavlja posebno organizacijo našega časa, z njim se dokazujemo, oblikujemo socialne stike zunaj družine in tako zadovoljujemo potrebo po druženju. Torej če ostanemo brez zaposlitve, izgubimo veliko več kot pa denar. Ravno zaradi tega ima termin brezposelnosti tako negativen prizvok. Brezposelnost ni samo trenuten pojavobstajal je v preteklosti, čeprav malo v drugačni obliki, obstajal bo v prihodnosti. Tudi gospodarstvo s polno zaposleno delovno silo pozna brezposelnost, t. i. naravno stopnjo brezposelnosti. Moramo pa se naučiti živeti z njo. Kako trajno bo naše stanje brez zaposlitve, je v največji meri odvisno od nas samih. Če jo jemljemo kot začasno stanje in jo dojemamo kot neke vrste zaposlitev in ne kot pasivno stanje, se je bomo kaj hitro otresli. Kajti dlje časa ko smo brezposelni, težje je iskati delo. Proučevanje brezposelnosti je podprto z obsežnim terenskim delom na enem izmed Kanarskih otokov, Tenerifu, in v Sloveniji. Delo zajema zbiranje gradiva s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, ki je podlaga za primerjalno analizo brezposelnosti v Španiji in Sloveniji.A Man is a social being and employment represents a part of his identity that is why we would be wrong in thinking that employment is merely a means of survival. Employment means much more. Work represents a special organisation of our time, we prove ourselves by work and we form social contacts outside the family and so satisfy the need for socializing. Therefore, if we stay without a job, we lose much more than money. Precisely because of this the term unemployment has such a negative connotation. Unemployment is not just a temporary phenomenon. It existed in the past, although in a different form and it will exist in the future. Even the economy with its full employment labor force is familiar with unemployment or so-called the natural rate of unemployment. We must learn to live with it. How permanently our condition without jobs will be is largely dependent on us. If we take it as a temporary condition and see it as a kind of a job and not as a passive condition we will soon shake it off. The longer we are unemployed the harder it is to find a job. The study of unemployment is supported by extensive fieldwork on one of the Canary Islands, Tenerife, and in Slovenia. This thesis contains collecting materials by means of questionnaire which was the basis for a comparative analysis of unemployment in Spain and Slovenia
