Summary / Abstract:

LTStraipsnyje pristatomas šiuo metu nedirbančio ir užimtumo tarnyboje registruoto jaunimo (18–35 metų amžiaus) subjektyvus patirties ir galimybių darbo rinkoje vertinimas. Pagrindinis dėmesys skiriamas problemoms, kurios susijusios su sėkmingu jaunimo perėjimu iš išsilavinimo pakopos į darbo rinką. Tyrimo klausimai: kaip šiuo metu nedirbantis jaunimas vertina savo galimybes darbo rinkoje Lietuvoje; koks yra COVID-19 pandemijos poveikis jaunimo perėjimui iš švietimo sistemos į darbo rinką; kokios yra darbo paieškos kliūtys? Šis tyrimas remiasi 2021 m. vasario–balandžio mėnesiais atlikta jaunimo apklausa, kurioje dalyvavo 453 šiuo metu nedirbantys ir užimtumo tarnyboje registruoti asmenys. Atlikto tyrimo rezultatai atskleidė, kad COVID-19 pandemija paveikė labiau pažeidžiamus jaunus žmones, turinčius menkesnį išsilavinimą ir darbo patirtį, gyvenančius kaimo vietovėse. Menkesnį išsilavinimą turintys respondentai labiau akcentavo sunkumus ieškant (pirmojo) darbo ir surandant stabilias darbo vietas. COVID-19 pandemija labiau paveikė jaunų moterų, palyginti su vyrais, perėjimą iš švietimo sistemos į darbo rinką.

ENThis paper presents a subjective evaluation of the attitudes and experiences in the Lithuanian labour market of currently unemployed youths (aged 18 to 35) registered at the public employment service (PES). The main focus is on identifying the main issues related to the successful transition of youths from education to the labour market. Research questions: How do currently unemployed young people evaluate their prospects on the labour market? What is the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on youth transitions? What are the obstacles in the search for a (first) job? The study is based on survey research that was carried out in Lithuania from February to April 2021. A total of 453 young people who are currently unemployed and registered at the PES participated in the study. The results reveal that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected more vulnerable young people with a lower educational level and less work experience living in rural areas. Respondents with lower levels of education indicated greater difficulties in the search for a first job and in obtaining a stable working position. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the transition from education to the labour market for young women more than for men. [From the publication]
