Pravica študentk in študentov do socialne varnosti

Dragar, Maša (avtor), Strban, Grega (mentor)

Pravica do socialne varnosti je v Ustavi Republike Slovenije opredeljena kot ena izmed človekovih pravic. Slovenski sistem socialne varnosti zagotavlja zaščito ob nastanku socialnih primerov, kot so bolezen, poškodba, invalidnost, starost, brezposelnost in druge življenjske situacije, ki lahko zamajejo posameznikovo finančno stabilnost in imajo širši vpliv na delovanje celotne družbe. Za temo raziskovanja sem se odločila, saj sem med prakso, med drugim na Centru za socialno delo ter pri Varuhu človekovih pravic Republike Slovenije, oblikovala stališče, da je poznavanje pravic pomembno za zagotavljanje njihovega spoštovanja, uveljavljanja in posledično tudi za njihovo ohranjanje. Po drugi strani sem v interakcijah s študenti dobila občutek, da mnogi o svojih pravicah niso ozaveščeni. Namen raziskave je, na razumljiv način zbrati in predstaviti pravice, ki študentom pripadajo v okviru socialne varnosti, prispevati k boljši poučenosti študentov o njihovih pravicah in jih posledično spodbuditi, da jih aktivneje uveljavljajo. V diplomskem delu so s tem namenom predstavljeni pravni temelji, na katerih slonijo pravice študentov do socialne varnosti. Zanimalo me je, kako dobro študentje poznajo pravice, ki jim pripadajo iz sistema socialne varnosti; kakšna je povezava med vrsto študija ter poznavanjem pravic; ali obstajajo razlike med spoloma glede poznavanja pravic ter s kakšnimi težavami se študenti soočajo pri uveljavljanju pravic. Izvedena raziskava je kvantitativna, empirična, deskriptivna ter aplikativna. Podatke za raziskavo, neposredno izkustveno gradivo, sem namreč pridobila na novo, lahko sem jih preštevala in matematično obdelala, predstavila sem jih s tabelami ter grafi. Podatke sem zbrala z merskim instrumentom – anketnim vprašalnikom; uporabila sem metodo spraševanja, natančneje anketiranja. Populacijo moje raziskovalne naloge sestavljajo vse osebe s statusom študenta (rednega ali izrednega) v Republiki Sloveniji, v mesecu decembru (2024) ter januarju (2025). Zaradi velikosti populacije sem izvedla vzorčenje. Vzorec je neslučajnostni, natančneje priložnostni, saj so v raziskavi sodelovali tisti, ki so prišli v stik z objavljenim anketnim vprašalnikom in se odločili za sodelovanje. Rezultati raziskave kažejo na slabo poznavanje pravic iz sistema socialne varnosti med študenti. Ugotovila sem tudi, da študenti znotraj sistema socialne varnosti poleg splošnih uživajo tudi nekaj posebnih pravic, do katerih osebe brez statusa študenta niso upravičene.

Izvleček

The right to social security is defined as a human right in the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia. The Slovenian social security system provides protection in the event of social risks such as illness, injury, disability, old age, unemployment, and other life situations that can undermine an individual’s financial stability and have a broader impact on the functioning of society as a whole. I chose this research topic because, through my practical experience, particularly at the centre for social work and the Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia, I formed the view that knowledge of one’s rights is crucial for ensuring their respect, enforcement, and ultimately their preservation. On the other hand, through my interactions with students, I gained the impression that many are not aware of their rights. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to collect and present, in a clear and understandable manner, the rights to which students are entitled within the social security system, contribute to a better awareness of these rights among students, and consequently encourage them to more actively assert them. This thesis presents the legal foundations on which students' rights to social security are based. I aimed to explore how well students know their rights within the social security system; the correlation between the type of study program and the level of awareness of these rights; whether there are gender differences regarding the knowledge of rights, and what challenges students face in exercising these rights. The research is quantitative, empirical, descriptive, and applied. The data for the study, as original empirical material, were newly collected, could be counted and processed mathematically, and were presented using tables and graphs. The data were gathered using a measurement instrument—a questionnaire—and the method of inquiry, specifically surveying. The population for my research consists of all individuals with student status in the Republic of Slovenia during the months of December 2024 and January 2025. Due to the large size of the population, sampling was performed. The sample is non-random, specifically convenience-based, as the participants in the study were those who came into contact with the published questionnaire and decided to participate. The results of the study indicate poor knowledge of social security rights among students. I also found that students within the social security system enjoy not only general rights but also some special rights to which individuals without student status are not entitled.
