PRIMERJAVA EVROPSKEGA SOCIALNEGA MODELA S SOCIALNIM MODELOM V ZDA

KUDJELJIĆ, GORAN (author), Aristovnik, Aleksander (mentor)

V diplomskem delu predstavljam evropski socialni model in socialni model Združenih držav Amerike. Oba sistema primerjam na podlagi ekonomsko-socialnih kazalnikov. Države oblikujejo in izvajajo določeno socialno politiko, ki je prilagojena zgodovinskemu razvoju ter ekonomskemu, socialnemu in političnemu stanju v določenem obdobju v državi. Vsaka država članica Evropske unije ima svoj socialni model, vendar mora kljub temu strmeti k smernicam in socialnim normam Evropske unije. Tudi v ZDA ne obstaja enoten socialni sistem na zvezni ravni, ki bi veljal za vse države. Namen diplomskega dela je podrobneje predstaviti evropski socialni model, njegov razvoj skozi čas, značilnosti, socialne podmodele, cilje in prihodnost Evropske unije na tem področju. Prav tako je namen diplomskega dela predstaviti socialni model v Združenih državah Amerike, njegovo zgodovino, značilnosti in ga primerjati z evropskim. Pri tem predstavljam razlike in podobnosti med sistemoma na področju socialno-ekonomske politike. Glavni cilj diplomskega dela je primerjava evropskega socialnega modela in socialnega modela v ZDA s preverjanjem hipotez, ki temeljijo na predpostavki, da je EU uspešnejša od ZDA na ekonomsko-socialnem področju. To ne drži popolnoma, ker so bile potrjene le tri od sedmih hipotez. Evropski socialni programi nudijo večjo socialno zaščito in dosežejo večji delež prebivalstva. Večja regulacija in radodarnost s socialno zaščito, negativno vpliva na trg dela. Zato so ZDA bolj uspešne na ekonomskem področju, njihovo gospodarstvo pa je bolj konkurenčno in produktivno, ter se lažje odziva na ekonomske spremembe. Tako so se po zadnji gospodarski krizi prej postavile nazaj na noge. EU bi se morala v prihodnosti nekoliko zgledovati po ameriški delovni politiki, da bi z liberalizacijo in deregulacijo trga dela, blaga in storitev, z znižanjem pretirane socialne zaščite in kombinacijo podobnih politik, našla neko sredino, povečala fleksibilnost in na ta način omogočila večjo gospodarsko rast.

• Title: COMPARISON OF THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL MODEL WITH THE SOCIAL MODEL IN THE USA

Abstract

The thesis presents the European Social Model and the social model of the United States. Both systems are compared on the basis of economic and social indicators. Countries develop and implement specific social policy which is adjusted to the historical development and economic, social and political situation in a certain period in the country. Each EU Member State has its own social model, but should nevertheless strive to guidelines and social norms of the European Union. There is also no single social system at the federal level in the US, which would apply to all countries. The purpose of the thesis is to present European social model, its development over time, characteristics, social sub-models, objectives and the future of the European Union in this field. The purpose of the thesis is also to present social model in the United States its history, characteristics, and comparing it with European and present the differences and similarities between the two systems in the field of socio-economic policy. The main aim of the thesis is the comparison of the European social model and the social model in the US, and test hypotheses based on the assumption that the EU is more successful than the US in the socio-economic field. This is not completely true, since only three of the seven hypotheses were confirmed. European social programs offer greater social protection and reach a greater share of the population. Greater regulation and generosity with social protection, negatively affects the labor market. This is why the US is more successful in the economic field, their economy is more competitive and productive, and easier to respond to economic changes. Thus, after the recent economic crisis, they got sooner back on their feet. The EU should in future be somewhat inspired by the American labor policy, and with liberalization and deregulation of the labor market, goods and services, reductions of excessive protection and a combination of similar policies, find certain middle, increase flexibility, and thus enable greater economic growth.
