YOUTH 2020 - The position of young people in Slovenia

162 13. Young people show significant levels of each dimension of the so- cial-entrepreneurial mindset, which is counteracted by their at- taching high importance to good earnings and job security. The following recommendations for the implementation of youth policy can be drawn from these findings: 1. Labour market measures to curb the abuse of atypical forms of employment, including student work, should be pursued. Past ef- forts in terms of setting an annual maximumon hours worked are proving necessary. 2. In view of the deteriorated situation in terms of breaches of work- ers’ rights, it seems necessary to step up inspections. 3. Actions to reduce precarisation among young people must be clearly justified by the fact that the increase in economic, social, legal, and broader existential insecurity means a decline in young people’s general confidence, which constitutes a serious social problem (social instability, polarisation). 4. Youth entrepreneurship is an employment form that is in line with young people’s employment preferences, provided that the pitfalls of job security and the trend of forced self-employment, which only leads to further precarisation, are properly addressed. 5. Social entrepreneurship is a mission that should be promoted among young people in order to achieve higher levels of social benefit. However, its promotion in order to address the employ- ment challenges of young people is not promising.
