Housing Problems of Migrant Workers in Ljubljana
Andrej Gulič
Sažetak
Ljubljana’s post-war development
from an administrative into an industrial
centre has resulted in
changes both in the city’s economic
structure, and in the structure
of its labour. Because changes
in the technical, technological
and organizational structure of
branches of the economy, and the
growth of the so-called tertiary
and Quartary sectors took place so
quickly, the work-active population
from the more limited and
wider city environment is no longer
capable of completely satisfying
the demands of production.
The increase in standard of living
and changes in life style made
the local work force move into
more attractive and better paid
jobs. This left a great void in socially
undesirable occupations,
which was filled by workers from
other republics. Although this research
project is chiefly concerned
with solving their housing problems
and concentrates on the
problems of living in bacherlor
hotels and cabin settlements, it
also shows the social context of
their position in their new environment.
Research data shows that the population
of cabin settlements and
bachelor hotels belongs to the
peasant proletariat, i.e. that they
do not own any land or agricultural
means of production in their
original environment, nor can
they find a job in its usually undeveloped
industrial production.
Moving into more developed industrial
regions they reach the
outskirts of Ljubljana as useful
labour, but also as undesirable citizens
who »mar the outside appearance
of the town«.
This problem does not concern
only the workers from other republics.
It is also a problem of social
ethics, because except in more
limited political circles, it is not
reflected in the consciousness of
most of the population. And it is
a fact that part of the working class that has, regardless of for
how long, associated its labour on
the territory of the city of Ljubljana,
does not have satisfactory
conditions of living.
