Get PDFStrateški razvoj kroz projektne aktivnosti programa za razvoj fondova EU najveći je investicijski ciklus u povijesti Hrvatske. Kohezijskom politikom Europska komisija je Operativnim programima Konkurentnosti i kohezije potaknula rast gospodarstva i stimulirala otvaranje novih radnih mjesta. Temelji za procjenu investicijskih programa analiza je socioekonomskog stanja te detektiranje prepreka za rast i razvojne potrebe. Korištenjem ovih fondova ubrzati će se proces rasta i održivog razvoja čime će se uravnotežiti gospodarski i društveni status potreban za osiguravanje kvalitete življenja. Cilj ovoga rada je analiza projekata kroz kohezijske fondove u Osječko-baranjskoj županiji i gradu Đakovu te posljedično gospodarsko-demografske učinke u okruženju promatrane regije. Osječko-baranjska županija je na šestom mjestu ukupnih alokacija. U Osječko-baranjskoj županiji najvažnije se investiralo u sektor poljoprivrede, IT sektora i razvoj kontinentalnog turizma dok u gradu Đakovu u proizvodnju u malim i srednjim poduzećima te na projekte obnove energetske učinkovitosti. Znanstveni doprinos ovoga rada očituje se u detekciji učinaka dosadašnjih razvojnih čimbenika te razmatranju daljnjih strategija s ciljem prosperitet
Educational inequalities and national minorities in Croatia: reflection of the public prejudices or a systemic problem?
Get PDFIstraživanja pokazuju da škole u prosjeku vrlo teško kompenziraju razlike s obzirom na društveno porijeklo učenika, a osobito su ranjivi učenici pripadnici nacionalnih manjina. U tom je kontekstu nešto većinaglasak na ispitivanju učinaka nepovoljnijeg socioekonomskogpoložaja na obrazovanje, na što je pozornost skrenulo OECD- ovo istraživanje PISA, čiji rezultati potvrđuju da u svim zemljama sudionicama učenici višeg socioekonomskog statusa u prosjeku postižu bolje rezultate, primjerice u čitalačkoj ili matematičkoj pismenosti, od učenika nižeg statusa.
Prema teorijama reprodukcije obrazovnih nejednakosti, koje su usmjerene na kulturno isključivanje u školama: teoriju lingvističke deprivacije Basila Bernsteina i teoriju kulturnog kapitala Pierrea Bourdieua, razmjerno trajni karakter obrazovnih nejednakosti proizlazi iz činjenice da je obrazovni uspjeh u osnovi (pred)određen klasnim razlikama u obiteljskoj socijalizaciji. Djeca iz privilegiranih obitelji započinju i nastavljaju svoje školovanje s više relevantnih vještina i znanja, što obuhvaća „jezične i kulturne kompetencije te određenu bliskost spram kulturnih sadržaja koja se jedino mogu proizvesti odgojem unutar obitelji koja prenosi dominantnu kulturu“ (Bourdieu, 1977a: 494).
Stoga se, u okviru spomenutih teorija, u radu raspravlja o rezultatima istraživanja PISA 2018 i TALIS 2018, s posebnim naglaskom na stavovima i percepcijama koje iskazuju hrvatski učitelji i nastavnici osnovnih i srednjih škola (TALIS) vezano za izazove u poučavanju u multikulturnom i višejezičnom okružju. Također se analiziraju rezultati istraživanja globalnih kompetencija učenika (PISA), u kojima je poseban naglasak na tome koliko učenici uvažavaju kulturne različitosti i na njihovoj svijesti o interkulturnoj komunikaciji.
U svrhu definiranja društvenog konteksta analiziraju se i stavovi hrvatskih građana o položaju nacionalnih manjina, kao i o važnosti prava na obrazovanje na manjinskim jezicima i pismima. Pri interpretacijama tih stavova koriste se rezultati recentnih istraživanja o obrazovnim nejednakostima u Hrvatskoj i izazovima obrazovanja pripadnika nacionalnih manjina. Posebna pozornost u ovome radu usmjerena je na prepoznavanje etničke nejednakosti u ostvarivanju prava na pristup obrazovanju i prava na podršku, a što dalje može utjecati i na nejednakosti u obrazovnim postignućima.The research indicates that it is challenging for schools on average to compensate for the differences in students´ social backgrounds, and the students who are part of national minorities are especially vulnerable. In this context, the examination of the effect of unfavorable socioeconomic conditions on education should be more accentuated. OECD´s research PISA has shown the importance of this, with its results confirming that, in all countries that participated in the research, students of higher socioeconomic status on average achieve better results, e.g. in reading or mathematical assignments, in the comparison with the students of the lower socioeconomic status.
According to the theories of reproduction of social inequalities, that are interested in the cultural exclusion in schools: Basil Bernstein ´s linguistic deprivation theory and Pierre Bourdieu´s theory of cultural capital, the relatively permanent character of educational inequalities emerges from the fact that the education success is in its core (pre)determined by the class differences in family socialization. Children from privileged families are beginning and continuing their education with more relevant knowledge and skills, which encompasses „linguistic and cultural competencies, as well as certain familiarity with cultural content, which can only be produced through family socialization, and transfer of the dominant culture“ (Bourdieu, 1977a: 494).
In the framework of these theories, the article discusses the results of PISA 2018 and TALIS 2018 research, especially looking at the attitudes and perceptions of the Croatian teachers in elementary and secondary schools (TALIS) on the challenges of teaching in multicultural and diverse environment. The article also reflects on the research results of students´ global competencies (PISA), observing how much students respect cultural differences and how much are they aware about intercultural communication.
To define the social context, the article analyses the attitudes of Croatian citizens towards national minorities, as well as their statements on the relevance of education in minority languages and scripts. These attitudes were interpreted using the results of recent research on educational inequalities in Croatia, and challenges in education of national minorities. Special attention in this paper is given to the recognition of ethnic inequality in gaining the access, and the right to support in education, which further on can effect inequalities in educational achievements
Migrants' Perceptions of Key Factors Contributing to Their Migration from Croatia and Decision to Remain Abroad
Get PDFHrvatska se kontinuirano suočava s padom broja stanovnika, ponajviše zbog niske stope nataliteta te migracije mladih i kvalificiranih radnika iz Hrvatske. Stoga je važno razumjeti glavne pokretače migracija, položaj hrvatskih migranata u inozemstvu te čimbenike koji mogu potaknuti njihov povratak. U ovom će se radu prikazati i analizirati dio empirijskih rezultata istraživanja Demografski potencijal hrvatskog iseljeništva koje provodi Institut za migracije i narodnosti u sklopu projekta »Mreža 2050 – Demografija, od izazova do odgovora«, a koji se odnosi na prva dva od spomenutih aspekata. U anketnom ispitivanju sudjelovalo je 497 ispitanika (Hrvata koji trenutačno žive u inozemstvu a većina ih je napustila Hrvatsku između 2016. i 2021.) koji su putem online upitnika dali svoje mišljenje o čimbenicima utjecaja na vlastitu odluku o iseljavanju. Upitnik je sadržavao uglavnom zatvorena pitanja s mogućnošću davanja i otvorenog odgovora. Predstavljeni su i raspravljeni glavni mikro i makročimbenici koji utječu na migraciju i aspiracije za migracijom prema percepciji sudionika te percepcije o aktualnim životnim okolnostima. Rezultati su pokazali da su čimbenici na makrorazini, koji se odnose na radne uvjete i stopu zaposlenosti, povezani s čimbenicima na mikrorazini, kao što je osobni socioekonomski status. Radne mogućnosti i radno okruženje smatrani su glavnim razlozima odlaska, a politička situacija donekle važnim čimbenikom koji utječe na osobnu kvalitetu života.Croatia has been facing a population decline, mainly due to a low birth rate and the emigration of young and qualified workers. Considering the historical and dynamic aspects of emigration (Draženović, Kunovac and Pripužić, 2018), leading to depopulation, it is necessary to investigate all contributing factors in Croatia and explore potential models and measures to mitigate these unfavourable processes. Apart from Germany, Croatian citizens have emigrated mostly to Ireland and Austria since the country acceded to the EU (Pokos, 2017). Research confirms that the number of Croatian citizens who immigrated to Germany, Ireland and Austria in 2016 was, on average, 62% higher than the official data reported by the Republic of Croatia (Jerić, 2019). The increasingly intensive emigration of the young and able-bodied population additionally contributes to a rapidly ageing population, exerting strong pressure on the sustainability of the pension system (Družić, Beg and Raguž Krištić, 2016) and underscores the importance of investigating the reasons for emigration and the factors essential for return.
Migration is also an important area of interest for the European Union due to its exceptional impact on all aspects of society. Increased opportunities for mobility, advances in technology that provide access to information sources, and societal changes strongly suggest the need for policymakers to examine the micro, meso, and macro drivers that influence migration or potentially influence a person's decision not to migrate or remigrate. Governments require migration analysis to create informed migration policies, including citizen participation in the policy development process. The perspectives of migrants and their behaviour should be taken into account when creating policies to better understand the key success factors needed for the desired outcomes of migrants (European Commission, 2020). According to Fargues (2017), migration is a complex process that is constantly changing as a result of various local, international, and global situations, highlighting the need for con¬tinual investigation and repeated surveying of the population.
Within the current demographic climate, the World Youth Alliance Croatia (SSMH) launched the project “Network 2050 – Demography, From Challenges to Answers”, co-financed by the European Social Fund. The project is based on intersectoral cooperation, identified as necessary for improving collaborative efforts to address the effects of negative demographic trends on the social and economic development of Croatia and develop measures for demographic revitalisation. This paper will present the data and analysis of the empirical results of the research conducted by the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies. The study focuses on emigrants' opinions and perspectives regarding the factors that influenced their decision to migrate. This includes their own perceptions of the situation in Croatia, as well as abroad in their host country, which played a role in their decision-making process and continues to potentially impact them. Additionally, the paper explores the emigrants’ perception of their current life circumstances.
The target group comprised Croats currently living as expatriates in European countries. A total of 497 respondents, Croats currently living abroad, most of whom left Croatia between 2016 and 2021, took part in the survey. Three main research questions guided the investigation: 1) What are the key drivers of migration at the micro, meso, and macro levels that influence the decision to emigrate or stay, according to the perception of emigrants from Croatia?; 2) What factors influence the decision of Croats to stay abroad?; and, 3) What are the key factors that influence the decision to return to Croatia? For the purposes of this paper, the general results related to research questions 1 and 2 will be presented.
The instrument used for data collection was an online questionnaire that respondents filled out independently. The questionnaire consisted of 62 questions, mostly closed-ended, with only a few open-ended questions to accommodate additional information if participants chose to elaborate on their perceptions. Including this option also allowed for the possibility of results that were not expected by the research team. The questions were divided into five thematic chapters: sociodemographic data, migration status, socioeconomic status, returnee motivational status, and identity and value system.
The questionnaire was administered with special attention to the time of completion, clarity, and appropriateness of the questions. The data collection process included advertising the research project and posting calls for participation on various social media networks across platforms managed by members of various Croatian dias¬pora groups. Additionally, advertising was conducted through social groups and institutions, as well as using the snowball method. Data was collected during the period from July to October 2021. At the beginning, the purpose of the questionnaire was explained, and respondents were informed that their participation was voluntary with the possibility to withdraw at any time. Consistency in the questionnaire administration was achieved by exclusively offering it online. A total of 500 responses were received, of which 497 were valid, while three questionnaires were partially filled.
Only key socio-demographic information was collected and, together with the respondents' personal perceptions, it was examined in relation to the key drivers of emigration. Their perception is the key feedback that can help state authorities and policymakers in designing measures aimed at retaining the population and attract¬ing potential returnees. Their perception was viewed as potentially showing indica¬tors of migration drivers, push and pull factors, as well as demonstrating public perception around key issues and policies, and the type of information (including its accuracy) used to inform migration. Respecting the perception of the general public
when creating policies is in line with the concepts promoted by the EU Parliament (2020), which encourages the participation of citizens in decision-making.
According to the obtained sociodemographic data, 208 respondents (41.9%) were female, and 289 respondents (58.1%) were male. The most represented age category (39%) was 30–39 years old. Additionally, 24% of respondents were between 40 and 49 years old, 22% were between 18 and 29 years old 9.5 % were between 50 and 59 years old, 3.2% were 60–69 years old and 2% were between 70 and 81 years old. This indicates that the majority of respondents who leave are younger than 40, i.e. in the reproductive age group. The results obtained support the relevance of the research by Družić, Beg and Raguž Krištić (2016), who warn about the loss of the young population in Croatia, which results in population ageing. The majority (78.3%) were born in Croatia, and the next significant group (13.1%) was born in Bosnia and Herzego¬vina. The largest group of respondents, at the time of the questionnaire, lived in Germany, followed by the numerically significant groups in Great Britain, Ireland and Sweden. The trend shown by the majority of respondents coming from Germany is in line with the large wave of migration to Germany since 2013 when Croatia entered the EU, and since July 2015 when the labour market in Germany was opened to Croatia. Jurić (2022) and Pokos (2017) describe Germany as still the most desirable country for Croatian emigration.
The results showed that macro-level factors related to working conditions and employment rates influence micro-level factors, such as socioeconomic status. Work opportunities and the working environment were perceived as somewhat important because respondents believe that these aspects affect their personal quality of life. An interesting result is that the number of respondents who stated that they were married or in a partnership doubled after moving. It is worth mentioning that Jang, Cast¬erline and Snyder (2014) warn that the longer the time spent abroad, the stronger the ties made, potentially leading to the establishment of family life connected to the host country. This could negatively affect the potential decision to return. The influence of this factor at the micro level requires further research to show the possible impact of marriages abroad on the mobility of new families and their possible return to Croatia, especially if Croatia's goal is to encourage the return of its emigrants. The results of this study, as well as the recommendations of researchers such as Kis, Ozdemir and Ward (2015) on the importance of improving working conditions and wages as a means of improving living conditions, are useful for formulating strategies for population retention. Additionally, certain political restrictions can negatively affect the achievement of the country's migration goals (Boswell, 2002), which, in the case of Croatia, involves return migration and population retention

No full textPrednosti digitalizacije u obrazovanju Transfer znanja kao moderna globalna migracija
Get PDFSuvremeni oblici edukacija te razvoj poslovanja okarakterizirani su sofisticiranijim softverskim rješenjima te sveopćom informatizacijom. Novonastala situacija s pandemijom koronavirusa nametnula je potrebu primjene novih oblika u komunikaciji te ubrzala penetraciju tehnologija u sve sustave tako i u sustav obrazovanja. O ovoj temi intenzivno se promišlja na svim razinama te područjima grana znanosti i tehnologija. Potreba obrazovanja suvremenoga kadra u društvu znanja, stavlja fokus na razvoj suvremenih vještina. Tehnologija postaje važan čimbenik unutar inovativnoga obrazovnog procesa, potiče timski rad i korelaciju više polaznika s udaljenih lokacija. Veliki je potencijal upotrebe digitalizacije u obrazovanju, a cilj je ovoga rada ustvrditi njezine prednosti. Obrazovanje treba prilagoditi potrebama korisnika, a to se postiže reformama. Pristup visoko sofisticiranim informatičkim rješenjima u današnjem poslovanju je neophodan dok proces edukacije sporadično kaska i nešto je tromiji, no postoje mnogi „puch up” faktori koji će umanjiti taj raskorak. Znanstveni doprinos ovoga rada očituje se u potencijalu i mogućnostima razvoja znanja, vještina i kompetencija kroz nove tehnologije u obrazovanju pri čemu dislociranost više nije prepreka, već mogućnost spajanja i time postaje efikasni transfer znanja. Migracije potencirane odlaskom u razvijenije i naprednije sredine sa željom jačanja kompetencija primjenom novih tehnologija nije izgubljeni ljudski potencijal – odljev mozgova. U matičnoj zemlji može se školovati putem e-učenje. Glavni cilj jest ukazati na širenje tržišnoga potencijala mogućnosti školovanja ili cjeloživotnoga obrazovanja kroz razvijanje kvalitetnih modula za transfer znanja
“Sprva ni bilo ravno prijetno ... zdaj pa je drugače”: Izkušnje in izzivi integracije beguncev na Hrvaškem
Get PDFIn observing the integration process at a local and neighbourhood level, this paper aims to analyse the integration experiences of asylum beneficiaries (refugees) in Croatia and their relationships with various stakeholders. The analyses are based on data obtained in 2018 by interviewing 25 refugees about their perceptions of living prospects in Croatia. The results indicated that most of the interviewees described their relationships and experiences with state institution officials as mostly negative or challenging, and in some cases discriminatory. Acceptance in local communities was predominantly assessed as positive, although it took a while for refugees to feel accepted.S proučevanjem procesa integracije na ravni lokalne skupnosti in sosedskih odnosov prispevek analizira izkušnje upravičencev do azila (beguncev) na Hrvaškem in njihove odnose z različnimi deležniki. Analize temeljijo na podatkih, pridobljenih leta 2018 prek intervjujev s 25 begunci glede njihovega dojemanja možnosti za življenje na Hrvaškem. Rezultati kažejo, da večina intervjuvancev svoje odnose in izkušnje z zaposlenimi v državnih institucijah opisuje kot negativne ali zapletene, v nekaterih primerih celo diskriminatorne. Sprejemanje v lokalnih skupnostih je večinoma ocenjeno kot pozitivno, čeprav je trajalo nekaj časa, da so se begunci počutili sprejete
THE COVID PANDEMIC AND THE ECONOMIC MIGRATION OF DOCTORS THE CASE OF THE REPUBLIC CROATIA
Get PDFHuman capital is the primary driver of change in the modern knowledge society. The migration of healthcare workers is a "brain drain" of highly qualified individuals. Healthcare workers are currently among the most sought-after and mobile occupations in the EU. The global trend of open borders and free movement of goods, people and capital is an important determinant of growth and development, which developed countries have already recognized at the expense of less developed ones. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of the volume of migration, which is not insignificant, and the long-term consequences are negative for society and the economy. There are numerous reasons for economically motivated migration, and there are three main groups of problems that need to be solved urgently in order to stop further emigration. The departure was primarily motivated by problems caused by general social and political circumstances, as well as dissatisfaction with the general state and socio-political climate in the country. Reasons for dissatisfaction are low wages and living standards, dissatisfaction with the organization and management of the state, hopelessness and deterioration of regions, cities, society and people, corruption and crime, religious intolerance and nationalism in the absence of positive changes in the state. An increasing number of young people are leaving their homelands in search of a "better life", and without them the progress of the country is impossible. What is worrying is the youthful pessimism that already prevails in the attitudes of young people towards issues of political and economic progress and social development. Croatia is currently one of the three EU countries with the largest number of emigrating healthcare workers. In its Report for Croatia for 2018, the European Commission stated that spending on healthcare in Croatia is stagnating, while spending across the EU is growing [2]. Healthcare expenditures in Croatia were among the lowest in the European Union ; they amounted to only 760 euros per inhabitant in 2015 and are lower only in Romania, Latvia and Bulgaria. Furthermore, total healthcare spending in Croatia has remained stable since 2011, and the vast majority of EU member states have been spending more on healthcare in recent years, which is usually attributed to increasing costs for technological advances in medicine and an aging population. Healthcare is still underfunded and over-indebted. Since regular sources of financing are not sufficient to cover all costs, the system accumulates outstanding debts that are eventually settled with one-time transfers from the state budget. The scientific contribution of this work is to point out the shortcomings in the system and offer possible solutions
Employee satisfaction with internal communication in private companies during the first lockdown
Get PDFInternal public relations, ie internal communication, includes communication within the organization that can flow from superiors to employees, from employees to superiors and between employees. Quality internal communication in times of crisis is the key to the company’s survival in the future, so in March, April and May 2020 many Croatian companies found themselves in an uncertain situation where they had to adapt internal communication and organizational culture to new circumstances. The COVID-19 crisis hit the whole world in 2020, and it is still inconceivable what and how many consequences it will leave behind. Its effects are clearly visible in the day-to-day operations of most companies. In the most challenging period during March, April and May 2020, companies had to show how they cope with the crisis and how much they are ready for it in all aspects of their business and management. Why is employee satisfaction with internal communication important? The reason is very simple, satisfied and motivated employees and successful communication with internal stakeholders will create satisfied customers, users and successful communication with all external stakeholders. The subject of this paper is the internal communication of Croatian companies during the COVID-19 crisis and the first lockdown with special emphasis on organizational culture and relations with employees and employee satisfaction with internal communication during the first lockdown. The period of the first lockdown in the Republic of Croatia includes March, April and May 2020. For the purposes of this paper, an anonymous questionnaire was conducted on a sample of 84 respondents. The questionnaire sought to examine the satisfaction of respondents with internal communication and communication channels in their companies with an emphasis on organizational culture and relationships with employees during the first lockdown in the Republic of Croatia. The results of the survey indicated that respondents were satisfied with the communication processes in their organizations during the first lockdown, and that the COVID-19 crisis did not significantly change the attitude of employees towards employers, but the results showed that there is room for improvement in internal communication management culture
Theological, sociological and media context of persons with disabilities
Get PDFCilj ovoga rada je iznijeti mogućnosti tumačenja i razumijevanja kršćanskog pogleda na invaliditet, ponuditi mogućnosti duhovne perspektive vezane uz osobe s invaliditetom i iznijeti teološke pretpostavke za poimanje takvog stanja. Rad donosi pogled Isusa Krista, zatim stav Crkve na invaliditet kao pojavu te konačno promišljanja o mogućnostima i načinima prihvaćanja takvog zdravstvenog stanja iz religijskog rakursa, uzimajući pri tomu u obzir širi društveni i medijski kontekst. Namjera je rada otvoriti prostor za kreiranje adekvatnijih načina duhovne utjehe i prihvaćanja invaliditeta kroz razumijevanje tog stanja iz različtih pozicija. Polazeći iz točke suosjećanja i brige za pojedinca, nužno je razmotriti viziju, ideje i temeljne vrijednosti Katoličke Crkve prema ovim pitanjima, kao i medija i društva u cjelini, i to ne samo kako bi se takvim ljudima pružila duhovna potpora, već kako bi i njihova okolina bolje shvaćala teološke aspekete tumačenja života osoba s invaliditetom. U cilju izgradnje kvalitetnijeg života za sve, pri tome stvarajući i kreirajući tolerantnije društvo te adekvatniji socijalni i medijski model, neophodno je približiti se Božjoj perspektivi o invaliditetu i razumijeti kakve nam mogućnosti osobnog razvoja donosi život s osobama s invaliditetom. Ovaj rad stoga upravo donosi pregled literature, dosadašnjih istraživanja, ali i različitih pogleda te mogućnosti promišljanja o ovome problemu.The aim of this paper is to present the possibilities of interpreting and understanding the Christian view of disability, to offer the possibilities of a spiritual perspective related to persons with disabilities and to present theological assumptions for understanding such a condition. The paper presents the view of Jesus Christ and the Church's attitude to disability as a phenomenon and reflections on the possibilities and ways of accepting such a health condition from a religious perspective, taking into account the broader social and media context. The intention of the paper is to open space for creating more adequate ways for spiritual comfort and acceptance of disability through understanding this condition from different positions. Starting from the point of compassion and care for the individual, it is necessary to consider the vision, ideas and fundamental values of the Catholic Church towards these issues, as well as the media and society as a whole, not only to provide such people with spiritual support and support. the environment better understood the theological aspects of interpreting the lives of people with disabilities. In order to build a better quality of life for all, while creating and creating a more tolerant society and a more adequate social and media model, it is necessary to get closer to God's perspective on disability and understand what opportunities for personal development life with people with disabilities brings. This paper therefore provides an overview of the literature, previous research, but also different views and possibilities of thinking about this problem
