 For decades, we have heard about labor market problems regarding shortages in specific professions. However, timely identification—meaning planning for workforce needs before a shortage actually arises—has been neglected. This may be partly due to the popularity of so-called foreign labor pools. Recently, there have been attempts to link unemployment—and the receipt of public funds for housing and basic living expenses—to so-called socially useful work; yet, such work likely involves tasks for which we are not actually qualified. Leaving aside the fact that prison inmates used to call this "forced labor"—since the law cited it as an alternative to a prison sentence or a fine—a question now arises: can we still speak of a welfare state based on solidarity, and what does it mean for a state to be founded on social justice? There is also the long-standing question of whether it pays to invest in one’s own education, given that years of schooling may yield only personal knowledg...

Desetletja že poslušamo o težavah na trgu dela v smislu deficiti posameznih poklicev. Pravočasne zaznave, kar pomeni, da preden zmanjkuje delavcev že tudi načrtujemo potrebe po kadrih, pa so bile zanemarjene. Mogoče tudi zaradi precej popularnih tako imenovanih tujih bazenov delavcev. V novejšem času se namreč poskuša brezposelnost in črpanje javnih sredstev za nastanitev in osnovne življenjske stroške navezati na tako imenovana družbeno koristna dela, ki pa so najverjetneje namenjena opravljanju del za katera pravzaprav nismo usposobljeni. Pustimo ob strani, da so že kaznjenci temu pravili prisilno delo, saj je bilo omenjeno v zakonu kot alternativa zaporni kazni ali globi. V novejšem času pa se poraja vprašanje ali bomo še govorili o socialni državi, ki temelji na solidarnosti in kaj za nekoga pomeni biti socialna država, ki temelji tudi na socialni pravičnosti. Že zelo stara je tudi paradigma ali se izplača investirati v svoje lastno izobraževanje, saj vam lahko leta šolanja prinese...

  Data from 2025 indicates that 117.8 million people worldwide were displaced due to persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, or even serious breakdowns of public order. Of these, 68.7 million were internally displaced, while 35.6 million required international protection. This group included 6 million Palestinians and 9 million migrants awaiting approval for international protection. In addition to legal migration, countries not at war also face illegal migration, even when there is no state of conflict in the countries of origin. As early as October of this year, the EU adopted much stricter measures regarding illegal migration, even though the situation was not yet as alarming as it had been in 2015. In any case, the volume of both legal and illegal migration is rising year by year; even when the situation in their home countries stabilizes, most migrants refuse to return, and new migrants continue to arrive. Consequently, host countries encounter foreign cultur...

  Že po podatkih iz leta 2025 je bilo v svetovnem merilu zaradi preganjanja, konfliktov, nasilja, kršitev človekovih pravic ali pa celo resnih kršitev reda razseljenih 117,8 milijonov ljudi. Notranje razseljenih naj bi bilo 68,7 milijonov in 35,6 milijonov ljudi, ki so potrebovali mednarodno zaščito. Med njimi je bilo samo 6 milijonov Palestincev in 9 milijonov migrantov, ki so čakali na odobritev mednarodne zaščite.  Poleg legalnih migrantov pa se mirnodobne države srečujejo še z ilegalnimi migracijami, čeprav v njihovih mejnih državah ni vojnega stanja. Že oktobra letos je EU sprejela veliko strožje ukrepe za ilegalne migracije, čeprav še  stanje ni bilo tako alarmantno kot leta 2015. Vsekakor pa število legalnih in ilegalnih migracij narašča iz leta v leto, saj se kljub umiritvi situacije v matični državi večina migrantov noče vrniti v njihovo domovino in prihajajo še novi migranti. Tako se srečujejo države, ki sprejemajo migrante, tudi s tujo kulturo na svojih tleh, k...

  Experts  note a renewed shortage of workers, yet simultaneously, there are unemployed individuals available in the labor market. This disconnect between the demand for workers and the available labor supply has persisted for decades, as have stories regarding unpaid labor—both foreign and domestic. Labor market data—including official figures—tell a clear story. Recent data indicate an unemployment rate of 6% across the European Union (EU). Within the Eurozone, the rate is even higher, ranging between 6.2% and 6.4%. Spain reportedly has an unemployment rate exceeding 10%, followed by Finland, Sweden, and Greece, all with rates below 10%. In fact, there is no EU country entirely free of unemployment; the lowest rates (below 4%) are recorded in the Czech Republic, Malta, Slovenia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Germany. The European labor market—which facilitates labor mobility, including through the EURES network—is certainly facing challenges. Typically, the problem of so-called "sho...

  Spet primanjkuje delavcev, pravijo strokovnjaki na trgu delovne sile,  in na drugi strani so na tako imenovani borzi dela brezposelne osebe. Ta disfunkcija potrebe po delavcih in obenem na drugi strani  ponudba delovne sile se vleče že desetletja. Prav tako tudi zgodbe o neplačani delovni sili, tuji in domači. Podatki na trgu dela, tudi uradni,  pa povedo svoje. Po zadnjih podatkih naj bi bilo v Evropski uniji (EU), kar 6 % brezposelnih. Na področju uporabe evra pa je ta stopnja še višja in sicer med 6,2 % in 6,4 %. Več kot 10 % brezposelnost naj bi imela Španija, sledijo pa ji z manj kot 10 %  Finska, Švedska in Grčija. Pravzaprav na področju EU ni države, ki ne bi imela brezposelnosti. Najnižjo brezposelnost (pod 4 %)  beležijo namreč  v Češki, Malti, Sloveniji, Poljski, Bolgariji in Nemčiji. Evropski trg dela, ki omogoča tudi delovne migracije, tudi se svojim Euress-om, ima vsekakor težave. Ponavadi namreč razrešujemo problem tako imenovanih defic...

  In our society, single people without children are increasingly viewed less favorably, even though creating an "ideal-typical" family (partners plus a child) is supposed to be a matter of personal freedom and right, not a duty. In many societies (including the USA), unemployed single people lack social protection, or may even remain unemployed precisely because they are single and/or childless. Yet, nowhere is it officially stated that marriage and parenthood are required criteria for employment. An offspring—or child—is essentially a genetic blend of their biological parents and a form of continuation of their lives; this, in turn, is fundamentally a continuation of their genetic material, thereby ensuring the persistence of that material. Of course, such a conceptualization sounds very dry, if not downright brutal. Since parents care for a child during their formative years, children or offspring are expected to care for their parents in times of incapacity and/or old age...

Samske osebe brez otrok so v naši družbi čedalje manj zaželena, čeprav naj bi bilo ustvarjanje idealno tipske  družine (partnerja+otrok)  osebna svoboda in pravica, ne pa dolžnost. V prenekateri družbi (tudi ZDA) samske brezposelne osebe niso socialno zaščitene ali pa so celo zaradi samskosti in/ali ker nimajo potomcev brezposelni. Nikjer pa ni uradno navedeno, da je zahtevani kriterij za zaposlitev poročenost in materinstvo ali očetovstvo. Potomec ali otrok je v bistvu genetska mešanica svojih bioloških staršev in neke vrste nadaljevanje njihovega življenja, ki je spet v bistvu nadaljevanje njihovega genetskega materiala in na ta način tudi obstoj njihovega genetskega materiala. Seveda zveni takšno pojmovanje zelo suhoparno, če ne kar brutalno. Ker starši otroka oskrbujejo v fazi odraščanja, naj bi otroci ali potomci oskrbovali svoje starše ob njihovi nezmožnosti in/ali starosti.  In tudi to naj bi bil razlog, da so se večinoma ljudje odločali za potomce. Takšne so ideal...

 In the European Union—including Slovenia—tempers are flaring, and even hostility is emerging, toward the unemployed, who are perceived as receiving social assistance without working. Naturally, this overlooks the fact that social assistance covers only basic living expenses—costs that are minimal and lower than standard wages. When funds run low and general poverty rises, a scapegoat must be found; inevitably, social benefits become that target. Instead of creating paid jobs, the focus is shifting toward "social jobs"—or making social assistance conditional upon performing socially useful work—while likely reducing the number of regular employees in the civil service and state institutions. In Slovenia, "socially useful work" is already defined in the Criminal Code as unpaid compensatory labor (one day of imprisonment equates to two hours of socially useful work) used to settle a prison sentence and/or a fine (see previous article: https://vsakodnevnobydarja.blogsp...

  V Evropski uniji, vključno s Slovenijo, se burijo duhovi, možno pa je tudi sovraštvo, zoper brezposelne osebe, saj naj bi prejemali denarno socialno pomoč brez da bi delali. Ob tem se seveda zanemarjajo podatki, da denarna socialna pomoč pokrije osnovne življenjske stroške, ki so minimalni in manjši kot so plače.  Ko zmanjkuje denarja in se dviga splošna revščina je pač treba najti krivca in ta krivec so seveda socialni prejemki. Namesto, da bi ustvarjali plačana delovna mesto, bodo naredili socialna delovna mesta, oziroma se bo socialna denarna pomoč pogojevala z družbeno koristnim delom in najverjetneje znižalo število redno zaposlenih v državni upravi in državnih ustanovah. Družbeno koristno delo je v Sloveniji že opredeljeno v Kazenskem zakoniku kot brezplačno kompenzacijsko delo (en dan zapora za dve uri družbeno koristnega dela) za izrečeno kazen zapora in/ali globo /glej prejšnji članek: https://vsakodnevnobydarja.blogspot.com/2026/08/debata-o-druzbeno-koristnem-delu....

  Social values ​​and the concept of interpersonal relationships are constantly changing and we can in no way say that the development of human culture is only upward for the better, or from tribal communities to a highly developed industrial society. This developmental theory of the development of society has been abolished for sociological reflections and professional literature and research. We are only talking about different societies. Recent responses to the painting of pheasants or first-year students have been different, just as we understand a multicultural society today. Democracy is still a dictatorship of the majority, although we also know human rights, obligations and freedoms. If we were to try to professionally analyze the new or old custom of painting the body, hair, face, clothes, shoes and even facades and sidewalks, the first analysis concerns property and the free disposal of property.  In short, the owners of all of the above are supposed to freely give a...

  Družbene vrednote in pojmovanje medosebnih odnosov se vseskozi spreminjajo in nikakor ne moremo reči, da gre razvoj človeške kulture samo navzgor na boljše, oziroma iz od plemenskih skupnosti do visoko razvite industrijske družbe. Ta razvojna teorija razvoja družbe je namreč za sociološka razmišljanja in strokovno literaturo ter raziskave ukinjena. Govorimo namreč še samo o različnih družbah. Nedavni odzivi na barvanje fazanov ali dijakov prvih letnikov pa so različni, tako kot danes pojmujemo multikulturno družbo. Še vedno pa je demokracija diktatura večine, čeprav poznamo tudi človekove pravice, obveznosti in svoboščine. Če bi poizkušali strokovno razčleniti novi ali stari običaj barvanja telesa, las, obraza, oblačil, obutve in celo fasad ter pločnikov, se prva razčlenitev tiče lastnine in svobodnega razpolaganja z lastnino. Skratka lastniki vsega naštetega naj bi dali po svobodni volji vso svojo lastnino (mednje sodi tudi telo z garantirano telesno integriteto)  v barvanj...

  Modern parliamentary democracy is based on the assumption that the people are the bearers of sovereignty. In theory, this mechanism works elegantly and thoughtfully: citizens delegate their political power to elected representatives in regular, free and direct elections. Parliament is thus supposed to act as a reflection of the entire social spectrum – as a microcosm in which the public will is co-formed through representatives of various interest groups, classes and ideologies.  Through the adoption of laws and supervision of the executive branch of power, parliament is supposed to directly influence the everyday life of an individual. Elections in this system are not just a formal act of casting a vote, but a key moment when citizens choose between different visions of the future – from tax policy and the healthcare system to education and infrastructure.  The dictatorship of the majority and the problem of legitimacy  However, the parliamentary system already ca...

Sodobna parlamentarna demokracija temelji na predpostavki, da je ljudstvo nosilec suverenosti. V teoriji ta mehanizem deluje elegantno in premišljeno: državljani na rednih, svobodnih in neposrednih volitvah delegirajo svojo politično moč izvoljenim predstavnikom. Parlament naj bi tako deloval kot odraz celotnega družbenega spektra – kot mikrokozmos, v katerem se prek zastopnikov različnih interesnih skupin, slojev in ideologij sooblikuje javna volja. Skozi sprejemanje zakonov in nadzor nad izvršilno vej oblasti naj bi parlament neposredno vplival na vsakodnevno življenje posameznika. Volitve v tem sistemu ne predstavljajo le formalnega dejanja oddaje glasu, temveč ključni trenutek, ko državljani izbirajo med različnimi vizijami prihodnosti – od davčne politike in zdravstvenega sistema do izobraževanja in infrastrukture. Diktatura večine in problem legitimnosti Vendar pa parlamentarna ureditev že v svoji zasnovi nosi notranje protislovje. Čeprav so temelji na načelu inkluzivnosti in/ali...

  The world is once again subject to debates about the social perception of the lazy and unemployed. Some complain about social transfers, others would worry about world hunger and migration to the country. Still others feel sorry for migrants or the poor in another country. The most vocal are currently those who oppose social transfers that belong to people of working age. There are slightly fewer of those who offer jobs and who turn to Employment Services and other employment agencies to help them find suitable workers. Very often, there are also statements in the public that employers cannot fill vacancies or obtain an adequate workforce. Still others would assign unemployed people to public works without payment for work. Such actions would most likely also cause an additional shortage of jobs in state structures and debates about exploiting the shortage of jobs and in this way also obtaining free labor or simply further exploiting the shortage of jobs. Some, of course, are al...

  Svet je spet podvržen debatam o socialni percepciji lenuhov in brezdelnežev. Nekateri se pritožujejo čez socialne transferjev, drugi bi skrbeli za svetovno lakoto in migracije v državo. Spet drugim se smilijo migranti ali reveži v drugi državi. Najbolj glasni so trenutno oporečniki socialnih tranferjev, ki pripadajo delovno sposobnim ljudem. Malo manj pa je takih, ki ponujajo zaposlitve in  ki se obrnejo na Zavode za zaposlovanje in druge zaposlitvene agencije, ki naj bi jim pomagali poiskati ustrezne delavce. Zelo pogosto se namreč pojavlja v javnosti tudi navedbe, da delodajalci ne morejo zapolniti prostih delovnih mest, oziroma pridobiti ustrezno delovno silo. Spet drugi bi razporejali brezposelne osebe na javno koristna dela brez plačila dela.  S takšnimi dejanji pa bi najverjetneje povzročili tudi dodatno pomanjkanje delovnih mest v državnih strukturah in debate o izkoriščanju pomanjkanja delovnih mest in na takšen način tudi pridobitev brezplačne delovne sile ali ...

  Along with the multitudes of illegal and legal migrants, there have also been discussions about nationality and indigenousness, the sovereignty of individual countries, the protection of national interests and nation states, and discussions about the use of state funds. Border protection itself is a major national expense for individual countries, from protective fences to the deployment of border police and, in some cases, even the army, as was the recent case in Spain. Damage to property is usually a personal problem, as was also reported from areas along the Slovenian border, which is no longer a Schengen border of the European Union. The free use of the beach, even for overnight stays, is the dream of many EU citizens, especially given the high prices of accommodation and even the ban on "occupying" space on the beach with a towel. Towels and backpacks have even been removed from beaches in many European countries. You can also pay fines for leaving litter and breaking ...

  Ob množicah ilegalnih in legalnih migrantov so se pojavile tudi razprave o nacionalnosti in avtohtonosti ter suverenosti posameznih držav in zaščiti nacionalnih interesov in nacionalnih držav ter razprave o porabi državnih sredstev. Že sama zaščita meja je namreč velik nacionalni strošek posamezne države, od zaščitne ograje do namestitve mejne policije in v posamičnih primerih tudi vojske, kot je bil nedavni primer v Španiji. Škoda na premoženju je ponavadi kar osebni problem, kot je bilo poročano tudi iz predelov ob  slovenski meji, ki pa nič več ni Šengenska meja Evropske unije. Zastonjskarska uporaba plaže tudi v namene prenočitve, so namreč sanje marsikaterega državljana EU sploh ob visokih cenah namestitve in celo prepovedi "zasedbe" prostora na plaži z brisačo.  Brisače in nahrbtnike so celo odstranjevali s plaž v marsikateri evropski državi. Prav tako lahko plačate kazni za puščanje odpadkov in razbijanje tujih oken in vrat, oziroma vandalizem. Kaznivo dejanje je...

  The European Union (EU) is facing a real explosion of illegal migrants in the first half of the current year 2026, under constant threats of military attack and already missiles and drones across EU borders and dealing with foreign security. Not long ago, whole waves of migrants were recorded in Spain, who, in addition to riding boats, even peacefully and illegally swam into EU territory, mainly from Morocco, which is not yet in a state of war. They were not bothered by fires or high temperatures. Or they even took advantage of the time when Spain was dealing with other problems, such as saving the lives and property of its citizens. The current unemployment rate in the EU is said to be 6%. In the euro area, the unemployment rate is said to be as high as 6.3%. This data is very important, as illegal refugees are mostly young and in good physical condition and will most likely be classified as working EU residents, thus contributing to an increased unemployment rate and/or an inc...

  Evropska unija (EU) se  v prvi polovici tekočega leta 2026 pod stalnimi grožnjami z vojaškim napadom in že raketami in droni čez meje EU in ukvarjanjem s tujo varnostjo, srečuje še s pravo eksplozijo ilegalnih migrantov. Ni dolgo tega, ko so v Španiji zabeležili cele vale migrantov, ki so poleg vožnje s čolni, celo mirno ilegalno priplavali na področje EU predvsem iz Maroka, ki še ni v vojnem stanju. Niso jih motili ne požari, ne visoke temperature.  Ali pa so celo izkoristili čas, ko se Španija ukvarja z drugimi problemi, kot je reševanje življenj in premoženja svojih državljanov. V EU naj bi bila aktualna 6 % brezposelnost. Na območju evra pa naj bi bila stopnja brezposelnosti celo 6,3 %. Ti podatki so zelo pomembni, saj so ilegalni begunci večinoma mladi in v dobri fizični kondiciji in bodo najverjetneje uvrščeni med delovno aktivne prebivalce EU in tako prispevali k povečani stopnji brezposelnosti in/ali povečanju izdatkov za socialno in zdravstveno varnost ter po m...
