Darbo tikslas – atskleisti jaunimo (iki 29 metų amžiaus) poreikius, siekiant integruotis į darbo rinką bei atskleisti kliūtis, trukdančias jų užimtumui. Darbo uždaviniai: išnagrinėti socialinio teisingumą; pateikti socialinės nelygybės sampratos teorinę interpretaciją; išanalizuoti jaunimo galimybes į socialinį teisingumą integruojantis į darbo rinką; atlikti sociologinį tyrimą, leidžiantį išsiaiškinti atskleisti jaunimo (iki 29 metų amžiaus) poreikius, siekiant integruotis į darbo rinką bei atskleisti kliūtis, trukdančias jų užimtumui. Tyrimo dalykas: jaunimo požiūris į nelygybę ir socialinį teisingumą integruojantis į darbo rinką. Darbo metodai: mokslinės, statistinės, publicistinės literatūros analizė; kokybinis tyrimas (interviu): dvi informantų grupės: 5 – studentai (akademinis jaunimas) ir 5 darbdaviai (įmonės vadovai). Tyrimu nustatyta, kad pagrindiniai reikalavimai, kuriuos darbdaviai kelia jauniems specialistams yra kvalifikacija, išsilavinimas bei pareigingumas. Darbuotojo, atitinkančio darbo keliamus reikalavimus, pasirinkimas yra svarbi sėkmingo darbo prielaida. Svarbu ir tai, kad naujai priimtas tinkamas žmogus dirbtų pakankamai ilgai. Darbuotojų keitimas įmonei gana brangiai kainuoja. Naujas darbuotojas pasiekia reikiamą darbo našumą, praeina maždaug metai, o kol pasiekia meistriškumą – gerokai ilgiau. Pažymėtina, kad jaunimas stodamas į aukštąsias mokyklas nepasveria, ar pasirinkta specialybė bus paklausi. Dažnas jaunas žmogus, įgijęs išsilavinimą universitete...

Die Schule als ein Agent der sozialen Stratifikation: Analyse der Erwartungen von Lehrern und Schülern“. Der Magisterarbeit. Nach der Erklärung der litauischen Unabhängigkeit trit in der Gesellschaft soziale Diferenzion gemäß materiellen, ideologischen und kulturellen Grundlagen in Erscheinung. Diese Trenung wirkt das Bildungsystem direkt ein, das nicht immer fähig ist, Gleichberechtigung und manchmal auch das Prinzip der Gerechtigkeit gewährzuleisten. Das widerspricht teilweise der humanen und demokratischen Konzeption der Bildungsziele, die vor allem die Versicherung der sozialen Gleichkeit und der sozialen Gerechtigkeit betont. Der Gegenstand der Untersuchung – soziale Stratifikation der Schüler in der Schule. Das Ziel der Untersuchung – eine Untersuchung durchzuführen, die helfen würde, die Stratifikation der Schüler bedingende Gründe zu identifizieren. Das Ziel erreicht man beim Lösen der Augaben. Die Augaben helfen das zu analysieren, wie die von der Bildungspolitik bekanntgemachte Ideen der sozialen Gleichkeitder in der Realität verwirklicht werden. Mittels Aufgaben kann man den Einfluss der äüßerlichen Kräfte auf die Schule unter dem Aspekt der Stratifikation verdeutlichen, sich ins Klare über den Einfluss der Erwartungen in der Schule im Prozess der sozialen Diferenzierung zu kommen, wie nicht nur Lernfähigkeiten sondern auch soziokulturelle Lage der Familie den sozialen Status der Schüler beeinflussen, und auch Aspekte der Bildungsführung zum...

This thesis deals with the welfare state and the realization of this idea in the EU. The EU enlargement to the Central and Eastern Europe has impact on the concept of welfare state. However, the EU support for the new member states will help them to achieve the average of the EU countries living standards in a shorter time and it will contribute to the general welfare of the EU countries.

The topic of this papework for master degree is „Teacher‘s social status in our society (In Kazlu Ruda municipality)“. The object of the research – problems of teachers‘ social status in province. The purpose of the research – to analyse social status and its changes (Kazlu Ruda municipality). Hypothesis of the research – since 1990 the teachers‘ status has lowered in province. It was caused by new social – economical conditions and the change of values in our sodiety, also by the teachers‘ behavior in these conditions. The goals: o to introduce the concept of social status and stratification. o to show the teachers‘ status during the process of changes in education system since Lithuania has become independent. o to introduce the teachers‘, who work in Kazlu Ruda municipality schools, attitude to their profession. o to discuss the attitude of different social groups in Kazlu Ruda municipality to teachers‘ prosession. We have been using two methods in the empirical part of of the research: a questionnaire and an interview. There hasn‘t been any probability in selecting the interviewees. We have questioned 117 teachers in Kazlu Ruda municipality (it makes 50%) and we have got all the questionnaires back. A number of different social groups took part in the quality interviewing: 4 doctors, 4 priests, 5 policemen, 8 businessmen, 7 municipality workes, 5 farmes, 8 unemployed, 5 homeless people. All these people were interviewed separately in their homes, offices or in the... [to full text]

This master’s final paper analyses divergent economic development in Lithuanian regions and its causes. Given that objective I reviewed works where the main interest is in economic convergence – divergence process in regions. It also presents β and σ convergence and classical methods of inequality measurement. The paper presents a detailed analysis of differences in spatial economic activity described by territorial disparity of active economic subjects, investment in tangible fixed assets and foreign direct investment in regions. Estimation of the rate and speed of uneven growth is grounded on spatial disparity measurement of GDP per capita and GDP per worker. This paper assesses relationship between regional specialization, comparative advantage in main economic sectors and divergence process. The hypothesis is formulated as follows: “the source of increasing spatial differences in Lithuanian regions is cumulative causation process” is confirmed. Political intervention in promoting workplace training programs and accumulation of human capital stock is necessary to defeat this causation process.
