Brojni su izazovi s kojima se danas susreću gospodarstva. Nezaposlenost ima mnogobrojne negativne ishode, pri čemu su siromaštvo i socijalna isključenost među najtežima. Zbog izraženih nestabilnosti gospodarstava u svijetu, generalno kao posljedice pandemije, posljedice rata u Ukrajini, valutnih promjena i drugih društvenih izazova, pitanje je i koliko je zaposlenih u potencijalnoj prijetnji neke od vrsta siromaštva i nezaposlenosti. Osobe koje nemaju dovoljno sredstava da pokriju svoje materijalne potrebe možemo reći da žive u siromaštvu. Nezaposlenost je, stoga, moguće promatrati kao uzrok, ali i posljedicu siromaštva i socijalne isključenosti. Socijalna isključenost podrazumijeva nemogućnost sudjelovanja u socijalnom, ekonomskom, kulturnom i političkom životu te se može nazvati višestranim procesom u kojem se osobi smanjuju mogućnosti za zapošljavanje, pristup zdravstvenoj zaštiti, uključivanje u socijalne mreže i druge društvene procese. Cilj ovoga rada je analizirati udio osoba koje žive u siromaštvu i socijalnoj isključenosti u Republici Hrvatskoj za razdoblje od 2015. do 2021. godine te analizirati koje su dosad najčešće obrađivane teme nezaposlenosti kao makroekonomskog područja i socijalnog rada kao područja socijalnih djelatnosti. Na taj način implementiran je interdisciplinaran pristup. Rad će analizirati kretanja nezaposlenih, kao dijela stanovništva koje zbog nesudjelovanja na tržištu rada jest u potencijalnoj opasnosti od siromaštva i socijalne isključenosti. Stoga se analiziraju i alati kojima se u Republici Hrvatskoj pokušava utjecati na smanjenje siromaštva i socijalne isključenosti nezaposlenih osoba kao i disproporcija izraženih na županijskoj razini u Republici Hrvatskoj. Poseban se naglasak stavlja na mogućnosti koje nudi profesija socijalnog rada u zagovaranju i zastupanju ranjivih skupina te mjere kojima sustav socijalne skrbi odgovara na probleme siromaštva, socijalne isključenosti i posredno na nezaposlenost. U radu se prikazuju komentari i preporuke potencijalnih uspješnih alata u smanjenju problema siromaštva i socijalne isključenosti.

The text theoretically elaborates on the importance of education in modern society, which represents the main precondition for development. Special emphasis was placed on the importance of education and its characteristics at the time of the pandemic COVID 19. With that in mind, we conducted this research including students of the Faculty of Political Sciences, Department of Social Work at the University of Sarajevo. The goal of the research was to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of online access to education from the perspective of social work students. In the interpretation of the restrictions related to the access to online classes, we particularly referred to groups of young people (students living in rural areas, students with disabilities) who encountered additional difficulties, i.e. restrictions while following "online" classes, especially during the period of complete closure of educational institutions.

There are numerous challenges that economies face today. Unemployment has many negative outcomes, with poverty and social exclusion being among the most severe. Due to the pronounced instability of economies in the world, generally as a consequence of the pandemic, the consequences of the war in Ukraine, currency changes, and other social issues, the question is raised as to how many employees are under the potential threat of some type of poverty or unemployment. People who do not have enough resources to meet their material needs can be considered to be living in poverty. Therefore, unemployment is not only a cause but also a consequence of poverty and social exclusion. Social exclusion implies the inability to participate in social, economic, cultural, and political life and can be considered a multifaceted process in which a person’s opportunities for employment, access to health care, inclusion in social networks, and other social processes are reduced. This paper aims to analyse the share of people living in poverty and social exclusion in the Republic of Croatia for the period from 2015 to 2021. It also aims to analyse the most frequently used topics discussed in the fields of unemployment as a macroeconomic field and social work as a social field. In that manner, an interdisciplinary approach has been taken. The paper will analyse the trends of the unemployed as a part of the population that, due to non-participation in the labour market, is in potential danger of poverty and social exclusion. Therefore, the tools used in the Republic of Croatia in order to influence the reduction of poverty and social exclusion of unemployed persons are analysed as well as the disproportion expressed at the county level in the Republic of Croatia. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the social work profession in advocating for and representing vulnerable groups and on the measures by which the social welfare system responds to the problems of poverty, social exclusion and, indirectly, unemployment. The paper presents comments and recommendations for potential successful tools for reducing the problem of poverty and social exclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social work services should be a basic indicator of the life quality of people in a certain society, but also an indicator of the level of social and economic rights fulfillment. However, the fulfillment of the aforementioned rights and the availability of social work services depend on the socio-economic development of a country and a series of changes affecting the prosperity of a society, which is causally related to the scope of services. Based on this, the aim of the paper is to point out the existing scope and availability of social work services in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also to look at the factors that may affect their scope and type. The paper focuses on the theoretical interpretation of the possibilities and limitations of the control of social work services with particular reference to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Socijalni rad usmjeren je k poboljšanju kvalitete života i razvoju potenci- jala pojedinaca, posebice ranjivih osoba, uz adresiranje problema, rizika, nepravdi i nejednakosti u društvu. Načela ljudskih prava i socijalne pravde čine temelje socijalnog rada. U eri sekuritizacije terorizma od početka 21. stoljeća zbog sve veće višedimenzionalnosti terorizma preklapaju se i umrežavaju različite politike, procesi i akteri te postupno nestaju granice između socijalnih i sigurnosnih provedbenih politika. Pomak od funkcije profesionalne skrbi ranjivih društvenih skupina k funkciji "nadzora" pojedinaca u interesu očuvanja društvenog poretka i sigurnosti daje socijalnom radu drugačiju ulogu. Socijalne službe i socijalni rad u protuterorističkim djelovanjima postaju podređeni logici sigurnosti. Na temelju analize okvira za uvođenje socijalnog rada u protuteroristički status i uloge socijalnih službi u protuterorizmu autori zaključuju da socijalni rad obavlja funkciju obavještajnog instrumenta nacionalne sigurnosti u protuterorističkim strategijama zapadnih demokracija.

Sagorijevanje na poslu (burnout) u zdravstvu malo je istraženostoga je cilj ovog rada utvrditi sagorijevanje kod socijalnih radnika uzdravstvu u Republici Sloveniji. Istraživanje je pokazalo, da je razinasagorijevanja srednja izražena (srednja razina emocionalne iscrpljenosti i osobnog ispunjenja, prevladava niska razina depersonalizacije). Niska depersonalizacija je i jedina razlika kod usporedbe rezultata s američkom populacijom socijalnih radnika, gdje su emocionalna iscrpljenost, depersonalizacija i osobno ispunjenje jednakomjerno distribuirani među socijalnim radnicima.Rezultati su pokazali potrebu razvijanja vještina pomoći i samopomoći zbog očuvanja mentalnog zdravlja socijalnih radnika uzdravstvu jasnijim defi niranjem uloge socijalnih radnika u zdravstvu,uspostavljanjem kvalitetnih međusobnih odnosa, redovitim seminarima o temi sagorijevanja.

Čikaška sociološka škola i njezin utjecaj na razvoj socijalnog radakoncem 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća izniman je primjer povezanostiakademske djelatnosti na jednom sveučilištu i praktične djelatnostisljedbenika ideja koje se stvore na sveučilištu. Nikad se takva povezanost, tako duboka uvjetovanost u socijalnom radu nije ponovila.Vrlo je vjerojatno da je tako uska i djelatna povezanost sveučilištai aktivnog djelovanja omogućila kreativnost kakvoj nema ravne upovijesti socijalnog rada.

Cilj istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u to kako nastavnici procjenjuju opseg, kvalitetu i smisao uključivanja korisnika u nastavu. Uzorak ispitanika sačinjavalo je osam nastavnika, nositelja ili sudionika u nastavi stručnih kolegija (Teorijske osnove socijalnog rada, Socijalni rad s pojedincem, Socijalni rad s obitelji, Socijalni rad s grupom, Socijalni rad u zajednici, Socijalni rad s invalidima, Socijalni rad i problemi mladih, Socijalna gerontologija) Studijskog centra socijalnog rada Pravnog fakulteta u Zagrebu, s kojima su provedeni polustrukturirani intervjui.Rezultati su pokazali da su nastavnici ili premalo informirani ili smatraju da uključenost korisnika nije dostatna. Ipak, dio njih smatra da postoje pozitivni pomaci te da se korisnici uključuju u različite oblike održavanja nastave. Postoje i bojazni kako ovakvi oblici neposrednog uključivanja korisnika mogu dovesti do njihove zloupotrebe i manipuliranja, odnosno, da korisnicima nije mjesto na fakultetu, osim u svrhu bolje ilustracije primjera iz prakse. Prema mišljenju nastavnika, studenti pozitivno gledaju na uključivanje korisnika u nastavu, stoga je važno ostvariti nužne pretpostavke (pristupačnost, poštivanje profesionalnih etičkih standarda, planiranje uključivanja nastavnim programom itd.). Među preporukama za bolju uključenost korisnika u buduće nastavne programe navedeno je planiranje sudjelovanja korisnika i postizanje obostranih dobiti, osnivanje savjetovališta na fakultetu namijenjenih edukaciji studenata, formaliziranje suradnje s korisnicima uključenim u nastavu te povećanje satnice terenske prakse.

U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja provedenog s osobama s invaliditetom uključenima u nastavu Studijskog centra socijalnog rada u Zagrebu. Sudionici istraživanja bili su osobe s invaliditetom koje u ulozi vanjskih suradnika već dugi niz godina surađuju u obrazovanju studenata socijalnog rada kao predavači iz prakse i kao terenski nastavnici u udrugama u kojima studenti obavljaju praksu. Cilj istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u doživljaj i iskustvo sudjelovanja osoba s invaliditetom u nastavi studenata socijalnog rada. Podaci su prikupljeni razgovorom u fokusnoj grupi. Analizom izjava sudionika dobivene su četiri kategorije koje se odnose na različite teme uključenosti korisnika u nastavi studenata socijalnog rada: (1) Iskustva sudjelovanja korisnika u nastavi; (2) Značaj osobnog korisničkog iskustva koje korisnici žele prenijeti studentima; (3) Osvrt korisnika na kvalitetu nastave; (4) Preporuke za bolju uključenost korisnika u nastavu.

Razvoj i upravljanje ljudskim potencijalima područje je koje je tijekom nekoliko posljednjih desetljeća sve značajnije prisutno u poslovanju modernih organizacija i to kako u ekonomskom (business) sektoru tako i u ostalim područjima i djelatnostima. Poslovanje suvremenih organizacija/tvrtki uvelike pa i presudno ovisi o kvaliteti upravljanja ljudima što uključuje pribavljanje i selekciju kandidata za posao, testiranje i vođenje intervjua s potencijalnim zaposlenicima, motiviranje i nagrađivanje zaposlenika te poticanje na daljnje obrazovanje, praćenje karijere zaposlenih i pružanje pomoći u razvoju karijere, kao i pomoći u upravljanju stresom i sve češće spominjanim »mobbingom«. Stručnjaci obrazovani u području socijalnog rada mogu, zbog svoje adekvatne dodiplomske izobrazbe, te dodatnih izobrazbi u okviru specijalističkih programa ili programa cjeloživotnog obrazovanja, biti iznimno kvalificirani za poslove razvoja i upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima. Dosadašnja iskustva nekolicine socijalnih radnika u Hrvatskoj, a još više onih u svijetu pokazuju da se socijalni radnici uspješno nose s izazovima ove djelatnosti, a budući razvoj obrazovnog programa za socijalni rad treba pokazati dodatnu osjetljivost za izučavanje područja razvoja i upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima te time još više potaknuti buduće generacije socijalnih radnika za uključivanje u ovo područje rada.

U ovom radu autor raspravlja o tri razdoblja u razvoju socijalne politike i socijalnih djelatnosti u Hrvatskoj u vremenskom rasponu između 1900. i 1960. godine.Prvo razdoblje prethodi 1. svjetskom ratu, a autor ga naziva «krajem dugog 19. stoljeća». Hrvatsko je društvo u to vrijeme slabo razvijeno, tavori na periferiji Austrougarskog Carstva, daleko od europske razvojne jezgre, s dominantnim seljaštvom te rudimentarnim socijalnim institucijama, koje djeluju bez značajnijeg utjecaja države.Drugo razdoblje obilježava vrijeme između dva svjetska rata kada Hrvatska dospijeva u nepovoljniji razvojni kontekst nego u doba austrougarske monarhije. Tadašnja država, Kraljevina Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca (od 1931. godine Kraljevina Jugoslavija), donosi prve značajne socijalne zakone, ali ih, zbog više razloga, nije u stanju primijeniti. U gradovima se pojavljuje sve više socijalnih problema, a slabo razvijene socijalne institucije civilnog društva mogu ih sanirati tek u marginalnoj mjeri.Treće razdoblje traje od kraja 2. svjetskog rata do 1960. godine. Obilježeno je snažnom državnom intervencijom u svim sferama života, pa tako i u socijalnoj sferi. U godinama nakon rata uspostavlja se socijalno zakonodavstvo, koje prvenstveno štiti žrtve i učesnike NOB-e te populaciju zaposlenu u državnom sektoru, dok brojno seljaštvo ostaje izvan glavnih sustava socijalne sigurnosti. Usporedo s postupnim napuštanjem administrativnog socijalizma u 50-im godinama, veća se pažnja počinje pridavati socijalnim problemima. U tom vremenu u Hrvatskoj nastaju značajne socijalne institucije, među kojima izdvajamo Višu stručnu školu za socijalni rad te centre za socijalni rad. Kako s vremenom, posebno u 60-im godinama, na površinu društva sve snažnije izbijaju socijalni problemi, prije svega siromaštvo i nezaposlenost, kao i oblici socijalno devijantnog ponašanja, na značenju dobiva socijalna politika te razni oblici socijalne djelatnosti.Kako znamo, 80-ih godina uslijedila je propast socijalizma u europskim zemljama. Naime. zbog iscrpljenih mogućnosti napretka u gospodarskoj i socijalnoj sferi, kao i zbog deficita građanskih i političkih prava, socijalizam je iscrpio svoj razvojni potencijal i stoga se kao sustav jednostavno urušio. Hrvatska je 90-ih godina vodila teški rat za neovisnost, a istovremeno je prolazila kroz mukotrpnu postsocijalističku tranziciju, što je uzrokovalo radikalne promjene u socijalnoj politici i u socijalnim djelatnostima.

Istraživanje koje je prikazano u ovom radu ima za cilj ispitati poznavanje profesije socijalnog rada i osobne karakteristike koje ispitanici pripisuju socijalnim radnicima. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 540 ispitanika. Faktorskom analizom dobiveno je šest intrerpretabilnih faktora koji opisuju sadržaj djelatnosti socijalnih radnika i šest faktora koji opisuju osobne karakteristike socijalnih radnika. Rezultati pokazuju da su ispitanici dobro upoznati sa područjem djelatnosti socijalnih radnika, te da im pripisuju pozitivne osobne karakteristike.

Budući da socijalni rad postaje sve više profesija koja se temelji na ljudskim pravima (utemeljenju, proučavanju, provođenju, zaštiti, unapređenju), u fokusu mnogih programa su upravo oni njeni sadržaji koji, uslijed procesa ujedinjenja, prerastaju u globalne izazove prakse socijalnog rada. Na lokalnoj razini socijalni uvjeti pojedine zajednice pod utjecajem su globalizacije, međunarodne politike, međunarodne komunikacije, povezanosti i suradnje. Obilježja i veličina socijalnih problema (siromaštva, obespravljenosti, socijalne isključenosti, diskriminacije, izbjeglištva, itd.) također su pod utjecajem globalnih zbivanja. Stoga su suvremeni studiji socijalnog rada sve više usmjereniji na "internacionalne" komponente u svojim programima, nastojeći buduće socijalne radnike osposobiti za «nove» probleme pojedinaca, skupina i zajednica. U radu autori iznose osnovne tradicije razvoja socijalnog rada u nekim europskim zemljama, te programe obrazovanja socijalnih radnika koji proizlaze iz navedenih tradicija, komentirajući njihova zajednička obilježja i razlike.
