Razkrajanje slovenskega srednjega sloja

Kos, Marko (author)

Razvoj v tranziciji se je ustavil zaradi visoke brezposelnosti in preobrazbe, ki jo je vsilila globalizacija, zaradi velikih socialnih razlik skoraj ni več sredine, ampak samo spodnji in zelo tenak zgornji sloj. Družba je postala nepropustna. Ne velja tolažba o ponovnem dvigu. Frustracija diplomantov univerze brez dela je uničujoča in škodljiva. Skupaj je ljudi na meji revščine 411.000, kar je 20 odstotkov prebivalstva. Ta delež se povečuje z več brezposelnimi in z dviganjem minimalnih življenjskih stroškov. Če se ne bo gospodarsko stanje izboljšalo, bomo govorili o zdrsu večine prebivalstva v revščino. Diploma ne jamči dohodka, večjega od uspešnega kvalificiranega delavca. Posebno mesto zavzemajo kulturniki, razmere zanje so postale poniževalne. Honorarjev več ne izplačujejo ali pa so jih znižali na desetino iz prejšnjih let. Plačani so samo 'delavci', lektorji, prevajalci. Založniki tiho računajo, da je umetniško delo neke vrste hobi, družbeno priznanje, za kar ustvarjalci ne potrebujejo plačila. Postali so 'proletariat znanja'.

Abstract

The development in transition has stopped due to high levels of unemployment and due to the transformation imposed by globalisation; the middle class has nearly disappeared, leaving only the lower class and a tiny upper class. The society has become impermeable. The consolation about a rebound is not valid. The frustration of the unemployed people holding university degrees is devastating and harmful. The number of the population below the poverty threshold amounts to 411.000, i.e. 20% of the total population. This percentage continues to increase with the growing number of unemployed and with the rise of the minimum cost of living. If the economic situation does not improve, the majority of the population is expected to slide into poverty. A university degree holder cannot expect to gain more than a salary of a successful qualified worker. Cultural workers find themselves in a specific situation, where the conditions have become humiliating. They are either no longer remunerated or the fees have been decreased by 10% compared to previous years. Only 'workers', readers, and translators are remunerated. The publishing companies tacitly assume that the artist's work is a hobby and a social recognition, for which the authors do not need remuneration. The latter have become 'the proletariat of knowledge'.
