We live in an era of rapid changes, especially changes that to our everyday life and our personal health. A change that surprised us all, but not in a positive way, was the emergence of the Covid-19 epidemic. Despite the negative surprise, the epidemic taught us a lot and became a part of the experience of human life. During the epidemic, we were put through many tests, we fought the virus and we adapted to the changes. The Covid-19 epidemic had a negative impact on the economy itself, the labor market, and unemployment both in Slovenia and everywhere else in the world.
The thesis consists of theoretical and empirical work. The work itself is divided into six substantive chapters that describe the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on unemployment in Slovenia. The method of description and compilation were used in the thesis. Above all, the types of unemployment, the measurement of unemployment, the impact of the epidemic on unemployment, and its negative effects are described. In the empirical part, we compared unemployment between 2018-2022 and the changes in this area on the basis of secondary data obtained from various statistical databases. The aim of the theoretical work was to produce a review of the literature, using the descriptive method, while the aim of the empirical work was to compare the unemployment situation in numbers and to find out, with the help of indexes, both chain and base, how unemployment has changed over the years.
Based on the analysis, the aim of the thesis has been achieved, namely it was found that the unemployment rate during the Covid-19 epidemic increased the most in the healthcare industry and that, despite the measures taken to maintain the number of jobs, due to the consequences of the Covid-19 epidemic, the number reduced.
