| Abstract: | In this BA thesis we studied the current state and/or the status of youth in the labour market in the municipality Novo mesto, the treatment of youth in the employment market and the improvements for which we anticipate that they could ease the entry of youth into employment.
In the theoretical part, we presented essential conceptions of the employment market, youth, employability, employment and unemployment. We described several theoretical viewpoints of the position of youth in the employment market. Further, we illustrated the youth characteristics, the transfer from education into employment, factors that influence the employment of youth, the state of their current employment and their activity, the unemployment of youth, their position in employment markets in states of the European Union, student labour and also the drop - outs. In addition, we highlighted the regulation of the position of youth in the employment market, where we especially emphasized the notorious active employment policy and three principal means of the planned transition from education into employment: scholarships, probationary and apprenticeship.
In the empirical part, we analysed the data that we obtained from the questionnaires and at the same time, we acquired the insight into a current state in the field of employment, unemployment, working experiences, education, motivation and the capabilities of youth, aged from 18 to 26 years old, located in Novo mesto. In this part, we also tested our hypotheses that were confirmed or rejected on the basis of the obtained results of the research.
Finally, we described the conclusions that were acquired during the research and the proposals that would, beside the active employment policy, help improve the situation of the young workforce, both in the Novo mesto municipality as well as in other places in Slovenia.
