In 2008, when the global financial crisis has begun, the number of unemployee has increased and consequently the number of recipients of financial social assistance in Slovenia and Austria. The purpose of this work is to research the financial social assistance in Slovenia, who is entitled to, what are the conditions to receive and the amount of social help and then compare it with Austria.
In this thesis are used statistical data that are publicly available on the websites of various ministries in Austria and Slovenia. I compared the statistical data to get the desired data. I To define basic concepts I also used the method of description, on the basis of data from books and electronic sources.
At analyzing the data, I found that the amount of financial social assistance varies in both countries also the allocation is slightly different. In Austria, the minimum income is higher than in Slovenia, and the number of recipients is also higher by one percentage. In both countries, it is necessary to fulfill certain conditions to get financial social assistance and to be an active jobseeker.
Financial social assistance has no impact on the labor market or it's really minimal, because the minimum salary in both countries is higher than the financial social assistance, received by the unemployed. However, the labor market has an impact on financial social assistance, less than vacancies are, lower than growth is, more is unemployed people, and thus more socially deprived people receiving financial social assistance. On research in Slovenia, it is considered that for a long time when someone is unemployed and receiving financial social assistance, it's harder to return to work, but in Austria this problem is solved with various re-work supplements to encouraging re-entry into the labor market.
