Mladi i mentalno zdravlje u rizičnom društvu - uticaj nesigurnosti na tržištu rada

Abstract

U radu se analizira uticaj nesigurnosti na tržištu rada na mentalno zdravlje mladih u savremenim društvima. Pomenuta nesigurnost se posmatra kao deo novih rizika u (globalnom) rizičnom društvu. Otežane tranzicije u odraslost u najvećoj meri se odlikuju teškoćama u tranziciji od obrazovanja ka zaposlenju. Relativna sigurnost zaposlenja i "standardne" karijere ranijih generacija danas su zamenjene odloženim, fragmentisanim i diversifikovanim obrazovno-radnim životnim putanjama. Nametnuta individualizacija u uslovima oskudnih i nejednako raspoređenih resursa za posledicu može često imati i ugrožavanje mentalnog zdravlja mladih.

The paper analyses the impact of labor market insecurity on mental health of young people in contemporary societies. This insecurity has been viewed as a part of new risks in the (global) risk society. Difficult transitions to adulthood have been mostly characterized by hardships in transition from education to employment. Relative employment security and "standard" careers of previous generations have been replaced by delayed, fragmented and diversified education-to-work life pathways. Imposed individualization in the circumstances of scarce and unevenly distributed resources can often affect the mental health of young people.
