Supplement to the Study of Unemployment

Amir Muharemi ; An unemployed sociologist, Kutina

Abstract

In this paper basic determinants and characteristic of the unemployment in Yugoslavia are pointed out as well as tendencies towards »social facts« in Durkheim's sense of words. The author explains a relatively intensive increase of the unemployment in Croatia and Slovenia in comparison to the other republics of Yugoslavia by migration of labour force within the country on the one hand and by the initiative for economy restructure (although rudimentary) and by the liquidation of non-profitable organizations on the other hand.
To the author's mind, the lack of formal theory on unemployment on a wider social level resulted in such a situation that sociologists today give only partial descriptions of unemployment and show directions towards its differential and qualitative development. The laws by which the unemployment is regulated are on the whole of a restrictive character and this makes health care and social safety inaccessible to many unemployed subjects in spite of the proclaimed norms. Finally, the author pledges for more intensive study of unemployment phenomenon and also intensive empirical research and more profound theory are focused in particular.
