Summary

Based on certain socio-economic and demographic criteria, the scope and categories of persons belonging to risk groups have been defined - persons from large and single-parent families, single mothers (adoptive mothers), persons with severe physical and sensory disabilities, as well as those with chronic illnesses, young people with or without minimal income, a large proportion of women and members of ethnic groups, etc. The main reasons for remaining unemployed and the obstacles to finding new employment for persons belonging to risk groups have been studied and presented; their attitude towards qualification and retraining as an opportunity for finding employment; attitudes towards starting a business; the state of mobility and its role in finding a way out of unemployment; the impact of job loss on marital and reproductive attitudes, on the level of family relationships, self-esteem and the mental state of the individual. Through the book, researchers of unemployment as the most significant socio-economic factor for falling into a situation of risk and the reader will empathise with the fate of these individuals from risk groups in solving their main problem - the right to work, on the realisation of which their integration into society largely depends.
