Sažetak
Main goal of this paper is to provide insight into perspective of unemployed youth at risk or with potential risks in enviroment, about
status and experiance of being unemployed. Krounauer model of social excluasion was taken as the base for interpretation of risk
factors related to unemployment. Mentioned model is defi ned with six dimesions: exclusion from labour market, economic exclusion,
social isolation, institutional exclusion, spatial and cultural exclusion. Five focus groups with 19 unemployed youth (age from 18 to
27 years) from 4 cities in Croatia and from two types of institutions (croatian employment service and center for social welfare) have
been conducted. Results implicate that unemployment represents important factor for integration and independence of youth, and
relevant risk factor especially for economical exclusion. However, result shows that unemployment does not lead to social isolation as
third key dimesion in social exclusion model. These results are, to some extant, similar to results in other countries in EU, especially
in south-east European countries (Italy, Spain, Greecee) where research results show that unemployment do not neccessarily leads to
social exclusion due to the strong family and friends support. Results can be used for the creation of public strategies in coping with
risk of (longterm) youth unemployment and also with risk of their social exclusion.
