Abstract

Diskriminacija mladih pri zapošljavanju i stjecanju prvog radnog iskustva je problem koji ovaj rad nastoji prikazati. Diskriminacija je najjednostavnije rečeno nejednako postupanje prema nekoj osobi zbog nekog obilježja po kojem se ta osoba razlikuje od promatrača. Diskriminacija je prisutna u svim segmentima života i među raznim skupinama ljudi. Danas je diskriminacija osobito izražena pri zapošljavanju, a jedna od diskriminiranih skupina su i mladi. Problematici diskriminacije mladih na tržištu rada u Hrvatskoj do sada nije pruženo dovoljno prostora u znanstvenoj obradi iako je prisutna. Važno je osvijestiti javnost o postojanju problema diskriminacije, kako mladih, tako i drugih diskriminiranih skupina. Svaki oblik diskriminacije se treba spriječiti ili barem svesti na minimalno pojavljivanje.

U empirijskom dijelu rada istražuju se percepcije mladih o prisutnosti diskriminacije prilikom zapošljavanja i stjecanja prvog radnog iskustva. Empirijsko istraživanje provedeno je na uzorku od 118 ispitanika različitog stupnja i područja obrazovanja uz obavezan kriterij dobi od 18 do 30 godina. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju kako polovica ispitanika smatra kako do sada nikada nisu bili diskriminirani zbog dobi prilikom zapošljavanja ili stjecanja prvog radnog iskustva, dok se druga polovica ispitanika ne slaže s time. Ispitanici se posebice osjećaju diskriminiranima s obzirom na vrstu ugovora o radu koji im se nudi (prvenstveno ugovori na određeno vrijeme) te zbog nedostatnog radnog iskustva.

Abstract (english)

This paper explores the problem of discrimination of young people in employment and gaining first work experience. Simply, discrimination is the unequal treatment of a person due to some characteristic that differentiate that person from the observer. Discrimination is present in all segments of life and among various groups of people. Today, discrimination is particularly pronounced in employment and one of the discriminated groups are young people. The problem area of discrimination against young people at the labour market in Croatia has not been given sufficient significance in the scientific research. It is important to make public aware of the problem of the discrimination, both among young people and other discriminated groups. Any form of discrimination should be prevented or at least minimized.

The empirical part of the paper investigates perceptions of young people about the presence of discrimination in employment and gaining a first work experience. The research was conducted on a sample of 118 respondents with varying degrees and areas of education, and a mandatory criterion of age between 18 and 30 years. The results show that a half of respondents believe that they have never been discriminated based on their age during employment or gaining a first work experience, while the other half of respondents do not agree with that. Respondents feel discriminated especially on the type of employment contract they are offered (temporary work contracts), and based on their insufficient work experience.
