Neigiamų nedarbo pasekmių ekonominėje ir socialinėje srityje įvertinimas Lietuvos pavyzdžiu / The evaluation of negative impact of unemployment on economic and social outcomes: case of Lithuania

Miceikaitė, Dovilė, Končiūtė, Lina 02 September 2010 (has links)
Bakalauro baigiamajame darbe yra analizuojamos neigiamos nedarbo pasekmės ekonominėje ir socialinėje srityje. Darbas susideda iš dviejų dalių. Teorinėje darbo dalyje nagrinėjami Lietuvos ir užsienio šalių autorių moksliniai straipsniai apie neigiamas nedarbo pasekmes įvairiems ekonominiams ir socialiniams rodikliams. Empirinėje darbo dalyje analizuojama 1998-2009 m. laikotarpio Lietuvos statistinė informacija apie nedarbo lygį ir tam tikrus ekonominius (bendrajį vidaus produktą, vidutinę metinę infliaciją, emigrantų skaičių, vidutinį mėnesinį Bruto darbo užmokestį, biudžeto pajamas iš gyventojų pajamų mokesčio, valdžios sektoriaus išlaidas, susijusias su nedarbu) ir socialinius (apsilankymų pas gydytojus, mirusiųjų nuo kraujotakos sistemos ligų ir savižudybių skaičių, skurdo rizikos lygį bei užregistruotų nusikaltimų skaičių) rodiklius. Taip pat, bandoma nustatyti, kuriems ekonominiams ir socialiniams rodikliams nedarbas turi neigiamą poveikį ir kuriuo laikotarpiu šis poveikis didžiausias - bendruoju, nedarbo mažėjimo ar didėjimo laikotarpiu. / In Bachelor‘s final work, the negative impacts of unemployment on economic and social areas are analysed. The work consists of 2 parts – theory and practice. In theoretic part Lithuania’s and foreign countries’ science articles about negative impacts of unemployment to economic and social areas are analysed. In Empiric part there are analyses of 1998-2009 years statistic information in Lithuania about unemployment levels and certain economic and social indicators like: (gross domestic product (GDP), inflation rate, emigrants, average monthly gross wage, budget income and expenditure, visits to physicians, deaths of diseases of the circulatory system, intentional self-harms, poverty, crimes). Also, try to determine which economic and social indicators, unemployment has a negative effect on the period and the maximum impact - the aggregate, decrease or increase in unemployment during the period.

Adolescents with Depression Grown up : Education, Intimate Relationships, Mental Health, and Personality

Jonsson, Ulf January 2010 (has links)
Unipolar depression, estimated to be the leading contributor to burden of disease in middle- and high-income countries, often has an onset in adolescence. The disorder is associated with substantial role impairment and is highly recurrent. This raises questions about both subsequent mental health and social outcome. In order to shed light on this, a community sample of adolescents with depression and non-depressed peers was followed-up after 15 years. In 1991-93, first-year students in upper secondary school (age 16-17) in the town of Uppsala, Sweden, were screened for depression. Adolescents with positive screening and selected peers with negative screening (n=631 in total) were assessed regarding mental health, social situation, and personality. At around age 31, the participants were followed-up in both national registers (n=609) and personal interviews (n=409). Outcome regarding social factors, mental health, and personality was assessed. At follow-up, the former depressed adolescents had completed higher education to a lesser extent than the former non-depressed adolescents. The females with adolescent depression were also at increased risk of subsequent abortion, divorce, single parenthood, and partner violence. Characteristics associated with depression in adolescence (such as poor school performance and disruptive disorders) seemed to contribute to the poor outcome in the social domain. Regarding adult mental health, long-term depression in adolescence was associated with a particularly poor outcome. Compared to adolescents with shorter episodes of depression, those with long-term depression were more likely to report recurrent depression, suicidal ideation, and a range of other mental disorders in adulthood. Measures of personality traits related to neuroticism (a tendency towards negative emotionality) were elevated during ongoing depression and anxiety disorders, but were normalized with remission. However, repeated depressive episodes seemed to leave the individual more vulnerable to stress. It is now important to assess if early treatment can alter the poor outcome depicted in this thesis. Since social adversity, educational difficulties, and interpersonal problems accompany the depressive disorder from adolescence onward, it should also be investigated if interventions aimed at such contextual factors can prevent recurrence and improve quality of life.

Social Investments: “It’s going slow, but it’s happening” : A study on the feasibility and future of Social Bonds and Social Outcome Contracts in Sweden

Lebsund, Emelie, Samuelsson, Fanny January 2022 (has links)
As we face increasingly complex problems of both a social and environmental nature, innovative and multifaceted solutions are required to create a sustainable future. Despite Sweden's leading position in terms of financial solutions to environmental issues, Sweden is behind most OECD economies in the development of a financial infrastructure for private investment for social and socio-economic projects. In our essay, we examine what the conditions are for social investments in Sweden. The purpose of our study is to investigate and analyze incentives, challenges, and opportunities for social investments in the Swedish capital market. In our approach, we investigated the institutional conditions for the implementation of social investments in a Swedish context, and the various areas of responsibility associated with social investments. In addition, we have analyzed how transaction costs and the organizational structure affect social investments in Sweden. It is also those four relationships that formed the basis of the study's analysis model, which have been used to analyze the empirical material. A qualitative method has been used to answer the purpose of the study. A total of ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with representatives from the Swedish financial industry and the public sector. The study shows that the demand for increased measurability and a more data-driven approach, as well as the possibility of a more well-diversified portfolio, constitute incentives to invest socially sustainable. The challenges identified essentially deal with risk management, control, and organizational structure. The fundamental possibility of social investment, in the form of social outcome contracts, is its potential to generate a win-win-win situation, where all parties benefit from the outcome. In addition, we also found opportunities linked to the organizational structure and control, as these could facilitate future implementation in a Swedish context. It is proposed that the development of the limited company form would serve as inspiration for a more organic development and adaptation to the Swedish market.
