ANALYSIS OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT STRUCTURE OF HIGHLY EDUCATED PERSONNEL IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA AND MEASURES FOR ITS REDUCTION

Abstract

The paper aims to analyse the structure
of unemployed highly educated staff in the
Republic of Srpska. As indicated, such structure
shall enable analysis of unemployment
of highly educated staff as well as of vacant
jobs on the basis of gender and profession,
thus demonstrating that more than 1/2 of the
staff after graduation finds themselves at the
Employment Agency. This survey shall provide
data indicating the unemployment duration
of highly educated staff, i.e. the time they
spend waiting for their first job at the Employment
Agency. Unemployment analysis
throughout various regions of the Republic
of Srpska shall be addressed in detail. Likewise,
the relevant institutions of the Republic
of Srpska, acting as proxies between highly
educated people and the labour market,
shall be integrated in the analysis. The paper
shall be particularly focused on assessment
of unemployment of highly educated people
from the field of economy. The problem
of unemployment in the Republic of Srpska
has been particularly pronounced with the
last few years (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
and 2014). It is constantly deepened due to
the inadequate enrolment policy by the Ministry
and the inability of the labour market
to absorb the staff in the real and the public
sector. The analysis is not based exclusively
on the Republic of Srpska. The measures
to reduce unemployment of highly educated
people in the Republic of Srpska shall also
be introduced. It is evident that today’s soci-ety faces massive unemployment, including
the unemployment of highly educated people
in the Republic of Srpska, which represents
an enormous issue, and is after all, the focus
of the paper itself.
