SELF-EMPLOYMENT IN ZASAVSKA

V tem diplomskem delu obravnavamo problematiko samozaposlovanja v Zasavski regiji. V teoretičnem razdelku opišemo samozaposlovanje in brezposelnost ter proces pri ustanavljanju lastnega podjetja. V raziskovalnem oziroma empiričnem delu primerjamo ključne kazalce o gibanju zaposlovanja, samozaposlovanja ter brezposelnosti v Zasavski regiji glede na Slovenijo. Analiziramo podatke za daljše časovno obdobje (od leta 2005 do 2014 oziroma 2015), pri čemer nas najbolj zanima, kako je na te pojave vplivala gospodarska kriza. Med drugim smo ugotovili, da je bil porast samozaposlenih oseb v Zasavski regiji v obdobju krize relativno višji kakor na ravni države, vendar pa kljub temu relativni napredek na tem področju ni mogel nadomestiti velikih izgub delovno aktivnega prebivalstva. Pomeni, da samozaposlovanje težav ni moglo odpraviti, lahko jih je le ublažilo. Ocenjujemo, da je pri pozitivnih premikih odigral pomembno vlogo Zavod republike Slovenije za zaposlovanje – Območna služba Trbovlje preko izvajanja programov aktivne politike zaposlovanja.In this thesis we discuss the topic of self-employment in the Zasavje region. In the theoretical part we present the self-employment and unemployment and the process of founding a new company. In the research or empirical part of the thesis we compare the key indicators of employment trends, self-employment and unemployment in the Zasavje region in comparison to Slovenia as a whole. We analise the data for the period between 2005 and 2014/2015 with a special interest in the influence of the economic crisis on these topics. For example, we have found that during the crisis the growth of self-employment in the Zasavje region outpaced the growth on the national level, but this could not compensate for the huge decline of the number of employed persons, it could only mitigate the problems. We reckon that the Employment service of Slovenia – The local office in Trbovlje played a crucial role in this positive trend with its programs within the active employment policy
